Example
Page Objects should contain behavior, return info for assertions and possibly a method for page ready state method on initialization. Selenium supports Page Objects using annotations. In C# it's as follows:
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.PageObjects;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class WikipediaHomePage
{
private IWebDriver driver;
private int timeout = 10;
private By pageLoadedElement = By.ClassName("central-featured-logo");
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "searchInput")]
[CacheLookup]
private IWebElement searchInput;
[FindsBy(How = How.CssSelector, Using = ".pure-button.pure-button-primary-progressive")]
[CacheLookup]
private IWebElement searchButton;
public ResultsPage Search(string query)
{
searchInput.SendKeys(query);
searchButton.Click();
}
public WikipediaHomePage VerifyPageLoaded()
{
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(timeout)).Until<bool>((drv) => return drv.ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(pageLoadedElement));
return this;
}
}
notes:
CacheLookupsaves the element in the cache and saves returning a new element each call. This improves performance but isn't good for dynamically changing elements.searchButtonhas 2 class names and no ID, that's why I can't use class name or id.- I verified that my locators will return me the element I want using Developer Tools (for Chrome), in other browsers you can use FireBug or similar.
Search()method returns another page object (ResultsPage) as the search click redirects you to another page.
