Configuration

Configuration

Wrappedelements designed to be configurable and extendable framework. The entry point of framework is a static WrappedElements class, that provides next main functions:

  • Page Object interfaces initialization
  • WebDriver providence for all Page Object interfaces
  • Allows to config WrappedElements general settings

This section is an overview for the configuration part.

Initial WrappedElements setup

The main object that allows you to interact with Web or Mobile UI is WebDriver object. General configuration provided by config() method of WrappedElements class. So the initial step for Wrappedelements is define a driver creation function:

WrappedElements.config()
        .driverCreator(() -> {
            //any expression that creates WebDriver object
            //For instance ChromeDriver
            ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
            options.setImplicitWaitTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10));
            return new ChromeDriver();
        });

Setting up framework for Mobile platforms

It’s quite common case - run ui mobile tests on different platforms. To do that, you need to add to your code annotations that will find elements specifically for you mobile platform:

Page example:

    @WebElement(value = "linkText=someLinkText", name = "Web element")
    @AndroidElement(value = "//span/a", name = "Android element")
    @IOSElement(value = "just_some_ios_element_id", name = "IOS element")
    ClickableElement multiplatformElement();

In this case, configuration may look like this:

    WrappedElements.config().setPlatform(IKnowPlatforms.ANDROID);

And element locators will be picked up from @AndroidElement annotation. Specify IOS platform, and framework will run tests with locators in @IOSElement
