Add 'context' attribute to <element> tag

gregjacobs commented 8 years ago

Hey guys, was just talking to @allengeary and wanted to record a possible suggestion for dealing with native/webview context in a hybrid app: add a 'context' attribute to the <element> tag.

An example:

<model siteName="My App">
    <page name="Login">
        <element name="USERNAME" value=".username" descriptor="CSS" context="WEBVIEW_1" />
        <element name="PASSWORD" value=".password" descriptor="CSS" context="WEBVIEW_1" />
        <element name="SUBMIT" value=".submit" descriptor="CSS" context="WEBVIEW_1" />
        <element name="LOCATION_ALERT_ALLOW_BTN" value="//UIAButton[@name='Allow']" descriptor="XPATH" context="NATIVE" />
    </page>
</model>

This would save developers from needing to add manual steps to tests to switch between contexts.

This is in progress but did not make the 1.0.5 build. It will be released in 1.0.6
