I would absolutely pay for this, but only if it could work with web applications built in React. React generates CSS class/ID names, some of which are duplicates. This requires determining convoluted XPATHs which can very easily, and often do, change in ways that immediately break the pre-defined locators. I’m aware of using unique attributes to make elements easier to locate, but that often requires someone else’s buy-in which isn’t always a guarantee. Even having a way to run the application in a headless browser and generating the POM programmatically would be great.
