UI element test cases should be run even after Selenium IDE startup

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 8429

If you have a UI-Element definition with test case(s) (as per https://selenium.googlecode.com/git/javascript/selenium-core/scripts/ui-doc.html
> UI-Element Shorthand > testcase*), and the test case(s) fail, and you re-load that
Core extension, then Selenium IDE doesn't re-run the test cases().

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Selenium IDE > Options > Options > Selenium Core extensions > select the attached
ui_element_with_brokent_testcase.js
2. Restart Selenium IDE
3. The custom ui element definition is loaded, its test case is run and if it fails
it's reported (side note: the error doesn't currently show up well, see https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=842)
4. Selenium IDE > Options > Options > click at Reload button right of 'Selenium Core
extensions'
5. The custom ui element definition is re-loaded, but its test case is not run (and
any failures in it are not reported).

Selenium version: 2.8.0
OS: Fedora 20
Browser: Firefox 35

Please, modify UIMap's addElement() in chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium-core/scripts/ui-element.js,
around line 888, from

        // run the element's unit tests only for the IDE, and only when the
        // IDE is starting. Make a rough guess as to the latter condition.
        if (is_IDE() && !editor.selDebugger && !uiElement.test()) {

to

        // run the element's unit tests only for the IDE.
        if (is_IDE() && !uiElement.test()) {

To streamline, I suggest you implement it together with https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=842.
