Navigate.To<Page>(By.LinkText) with multiple equal link texts #254

Closed happymonkey closed 7 years ago

happymonkey commented 7 years ago

Hey! I have a question with Navigate.To<SomePage>(By.LinkText("linkText" ) . In my web page there is a link with the same text to the same page both in the menu and in the footer. I want to navigate to that page by the link that is in the footer not in the menu. I guess Navigate.To<SomePage>(By.LinkText("linkText" ) chooses the first link which is the menu link but how can I make it choose the other link? If I had a code like this:

public void NavigateToSomePageByFooter()
        {
            var footerItems= Find.Element(By.ClassName("footer"));
            var footerItemToClick= footerItems.FindElement(By.LinkText("linkText"));
            footerItemToClick.Click();
        }

That would navigate me to the wanted page by footer link, but it would not return me the page. And Seleno does not allow returning new Page Object. How can I navigate to page with multiple equal link texts?

Try return GetComponent();

And it is not possible to just return new instance of that page. How can I do the same thing but also return the page?

Ok, thanks! That works. So basically this Navigate.To<SomePage>(By.LinkText("linkText" ) does not allow to specify more?
