Further Reading

The script editor is where you spend most of your time building and debugging tests in Loadster. Whether you’re working on Browser Bot scripts or Protocol scripts, the editor is your main workspace for adding steps, changing selectors, setting up variables, and playing back scripts to make sure they work.

The side-by-side layout for Logs and Timeline makes the editor more usable. The Logs tab shows you what happened during playback – console output, errors, timing information – while the Timeline shows screenshots and a visual representation of each step. Having both visible at once means you can watch what the browser is doing (Timeline) and see the technical details (Logs) without constantly switching tabs. This is especially helpful when debugging scripts that involve code blocks or complex interactions.
