So Vishal,
As far as UI operations are concerned (click, type etc) you can still encapsulate them in one class and all of your page objects should extend it. Like -
/**
* Wraps selenium operations
*
* @author tarunb
*
*/
public class ActionDriver {
protected WebDriver driver;
public ActionDriver(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
}
public void type(By by, String testdata) {
driver.findElement(by).clear();
driver.findElement(by).sendKeys(testdata);
}
}
You Page object goes here -
public class GoogleHomePage extends ActionDriver {
public GoogleHomePage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
if (!isElementPresent((GoogleHomePageElements.getSearchBox()))) {
throw new IllegalStateException(
"This is not Google Search page. Page is: "
+ driver.getPageSource());
}
}
public GoogleSearchResultPage searchGoogle(String testdata) {
type(GoogleHomePageElements.getSearchBox(), testdata);
// Some more operations here
return new GoogleSearchResultPage(driver);
}
}
And your test class goes here -
public class GoogleSearchTest extends SelTestCase {
@Test
public void testGoogleSearch() {
GoogleHomePage googleHomePage = new GoogleHomePage(driver);
googleHomePage.searchGoogle("Selenium HQ");
assert driver.getPageSource().contains("seleniumhq"):"Selenium headquarter search failed";
}
}
Do you see how similar it is to -
perform|webButton;Submit|Click
as operations like click, type are part of Action Driver class and all of your page objects classes extend from it.
So these operations are available to all page object classes.
Now any of the page object class in any project can use Action driver as Action driver class is independent of a project.
Do let me know if I miss understood you.
