selenium-webdriver Using @FindBy annotations in Java
Syntax
- CLASS_NAME: @FindBy(className = "classname")
- CSS: @FindBy(css = "css")
- ID: @FindBy(id = "id")
- ID_OR_NAME: @FindBy(how = How.ID_OR_NAME, using ="idOrName")
- LINK_TEXT: @FindBy(linkText= "text")
- NAME: @FindBy(name= "name")
- PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT: @FindBy(partialLinkText= "text")
- TAG_NAME: @FindBy(tagName="tagname")
- XPATH: @FindBy(xpath="xpath")
Remarks
Note that there are two ways of using the annotation. Examples:
@FindBy(id = "id")
and
@FindBy(how = How.ID, using ="id")
are equal and both look for element by its ID. In case of ID_OR_NAME you can only use
@FindBy(how = How.ID_OR_NAME, using ="idOrName")
PageFactory.initElements() must be used after page object instantiation to find elements marked with @FindBy annotation.
