org.imaginea.test.automation.framework.locator.CustomPageFactory

public class CustomPageFactory
extends org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory

Custom Page Factory implementation of TAF which extends the original PageFactory of selenium.

This class enhances the PageFactory implementation provided by Selenium by providing an enhanced feature of storing locators onto a different file and fetching it from the file based on the keyword provided at runtime.

initElements

public static <T> T initElements(org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver driver,
                 Class<T> pageClassToProxy)

Custom Page Factory method that initializes the Selenium PageFactory based element locators PageFactory with the passed driver object.

This method tries to get the default locator file for a class by calling the "getLocatorFile" method if available in the said class.

If the said method is available it will use the file returned by the method for getting selectors.

If there is no method defined in the class it will initialize the said class as a Normal Page Factory class and will consider the Page Factory annotations "using" attribute value as a selector for identifying the elements.

Note: Use this method when you are not using the page object model.\n If using the Page Object model supported by the given framework, try to use the method initElements(Browser, Class).

Parameters:

driver - Driver object which should be used to initialize the Page Factory elements.

pageClassToProxy - A class which will be initialized.

Returns:

An instantiated instance of the class with WebElement and List fields proxied
