Page objects #25

Open des-des opened 8 years ago

des-des commented 8 years ago

Page objects allow the user to create custom selectors and sequences of selenium commands for a particular page on the site. This allows us to keep the tests dry while keeping the namespacing the commands/selectors to a particular page.

This feature is quickly becomes useful as the size of the tests grows.

Finally got the page objects to work! I came across this project on my learning journey. Thought i would share my findings :)

The Idea is to have the elements of the page in different file so you can re-use it and if the element changes then we only have to fix at one spot and it'll fix for rest of your tests.

Test case - Go to the site, Assert Main Logo is working, Add a test user and Log out.

There will be Two files - tests.js (tests) & utils.js(elements)

Notice the correlation

In utils the function - this.mainLogo = function () { browser .click('body > nav > a'); browser.assert.containsText('.style1>strong', 'Testing'); return browser; };

In test the function to call - utils(browser).mainLogo();

Hopefully this helps.. Thanks @nelsonic and team for a great project and helping others.
