Selenium Page Object Generator

A nimble and flexible Selenium Page Object Model generator to improve agile testing process velocity.

Selenium Page Object Generator is an essential tool to improve your workflow. It will generate Page Object Model on active Chrome or Opera tab with a single click, provided that all of the options and template are configured. The generated Page Object Model will be saved to pre-configured Chrome or Opera download folder.

Selenium Page Object Generator is also available in command line by installing Node.JS package from NPM Registry.

The template is using Handlebars.js expression, a clean logic-less semantic templating language.

This is an early BETA release, it expected to have rough edges, and limited functionality. It currently support 3 different targets: Java, C#, and Robot Framework.

Development Dependencies

You will need to install Node.js as a local development dependency. The npm package manager comes bundled with all recent releases of Node.js.

npm install will attempt to resolve any npm module dependencies that have been declared in the project’s package.json file, installing them into the node_modules folder.

$ npm install

Development

To build the sources into corresponding packages, run:

$ npm run build

The /build folder and /dist folder are created. All built files are placed in the build folder, and the distribution ready packages are placed in dist folder.

Run Unit Tests

To make sure we did not break anything, let's run:

$ npm test

Distribution

Once the changes are in-place and ready for distribution, update package.json with new version, and run:

$ npm run build

The /dist folder will contain distribution ready packages.
