-If the file already exists, you'll get an error. If no URL is provided, you'll start on a blank page and will need to navigate somewhere for the Recorder to activate. (The Recorder captures events on URLs that start with `https`, `http`, or `file`.) The command above runs an empty test that stops at a breakpoint so that you can perform manual browser actions for the Recorder. When you have finished recording, type "`c`" on the command-line and press `[ENTER]` to continue from the breakpoint. The test will complete and a file called `TEST_NAME_rec.py` will be automatically created in the `./recordings` folder. That file will get copied back to the original folder with the name you gave it. (You can run with Edge instead of Chrome by adding `--edge` to the command above. For headed Linux machines, add `--gui` to prevent the default headless mode on Linux.)

 ⏺️ Additionally, the SeleniumBase <code>self.goto(URL)</code> method will also open a new tab for you in Recorder Mode if the domain/origin is different from the current URL. If you need to navigate to a different domain/origin from within the same tab, call <code>self.save_recorded_actions()</code> first, which saves the recorded data for later. When a recorded test completes, SeleniumBase scans the sessionStorage data of all open browser tabs for generating the completed script.
 
-⏺️ As an alternative to activating Recorder Mode with the <code>--rec</code> command-line arg, you can also call <code>self.activate_recorder()</code> from your tests. Using the Recorder this way is only useful for tests that stay on the same URL. This is because the standard Recorder Mode functions as a Chrome extension and persists wherever the browser goes.

If you want to find out a website's origin during a test, just call: <code>self.get_origin()</code>, which returns the value of <code>window.location.origin</code> from the browser's console.)
