Return Type of registerNewUser

[J]

Hi Everyone ,

I had few questions which I am still not able to understand .

In the below code we are returning object of AccountCreationPage.However when I just do a enterFirstName(registrationData.getFirstName()) it gives me a error .So why do we need to send  a object which is so long(I got confused with so many registrationData getters returned in one single return statement  ).

Could you please explain it .

Thanks,
Jai

public AccountCreationPage registerNewUser(RegistrationData registrationData) {
       
        return enterFirstName(registrationData.getFirstName()).
                                enterLastName(registrationData.getLastName()).
                                enterPhone(registrationData.getPhoneNumber()).
                                enterUserName(registrationData.getUserName()).
                                selectCountry(registrationData.getCountry()).
                                enterEmail(registrationData.getEmail()).
                                enterPassword(registrationData.getPassword()).
                                enterConfirmPassword(registrationData.getConfirmPassword()).clickRegister(); */

You get the error because enterFirstName does not return AccountCreationPage object but if you see method signature for registerNewUser, it returns AccountCreationPage.
We could also write same method as -

public AccountCreationPage registerNewUser(RegistrationData registrationData) { 
        
        enterFirstName(registrationData.getFirstName()). 
                                enterLastName(registrationData.getLastName()). 
                                enterPhone(registrationData.getPhoneNumber()). 
                                enterUserName(registrationData.getUserName()). 
                                selectCountry(registrationData.getCountry()). 
                                enterEmail(registrationData.getEmail()). 
                                enterPassword(registrationData.getPassword()). 
                                enterConfirmPassword(registrationData.getConfirmPassword());
        
       return clickRegister(); 
}

Thanks Tarun,

I was trying as below,where entering each items to test can be passed separately.Is this a correct approach ?.The reason I did that is because I was not able to understand how to we can pass everything in one line as enterFirstName(our test data).enterLastName(our test data)...


                        enterFirstName(registrationData.getFirstName());
                enterLastName(registrationData.getLastName());
                                enterPhone(registrationData.getPhoneNumber());
                                enterUserName(registrationData.getUserName());
                                selectCountry(registrationData.getCountry());
                                enterEmail(registrationData.getEmail());
                                enterPassword(registrationData.getPassword());
                                enterConfirmPassword(registrationData.getConfirmPassword());
                               
                                return clickRegister();

Let us see what does method - enterFirstName returns and what can be called on the returned object? Does it help?
