Tutorial 17 – Integrate Cucumber with Selenium – Part 4
What you will Learn :
LoginPage class
By Locators (Object repository)
Constructor of page class
Page actions
LoginPage class
For every page, we will create a separate page class. Let us start by creating Loginpage class.
Inside the LoginPage class, we have to peform the below 3 actions:
We have to create the ‘By’ locators
We have to create a constructor
We have to create page actions
We will be using the concept of encapsulation – the locators would be private and the page actions or page methods will be public in nature.
Also, every class will have its private WebDriver
By Locators (Object repository)
We will now create the private ‘By’ locators. The first one would be email id
Let us launch our AUT and inspect email id field http://automationpractice.com/index.php?controller=authentication&back=my-account
Notice that the id is ‘email’
So can write the same id as seen below
Similarly for password
Similarly inspect the Sign in button
So we can write
Next, let us inspect ‘Forgot your password’ link, see below
So we can write
Constructor of page class
We wil now write the constructor of our page class. The constructor name will remain same as the class name. This constructor says that,
“you give me the WebDriver and I will give the same WebDriver to this particular driver 
”
So
Page actions
Page actions are the features or the behaviour of the page in the form of methods. The first action that we are going to write is getLoginPageTitle(). We will use the in-built selenium method getTitle() to get the page title. This method will return us a string
Our next method will be to find whether ‘Forgot password link” is present
Note that we have already defined the ‘forgotPwdLink’ locator in line#13, we are simply re-using it in our method.
Further, we can use isDisplayed() method that returns a boolean, so we can write
Our next method would be to enter username in the ‘Email address’ field, see below. In the method argument, we will send the username (which is a string). The same username would then be send to the ‘sendkeys’ method. In the ‘By Locator’, we pass the ‘emailId’ locator
Now, from where the ‘username’ would be coming? It would be coming from step definition file which in turn gets the username from feature file, see below
Similarly we will write a method for entering the password
Next method would click the ‘Sign In’ button. We use the click() method to click the button
So we have created 5 methods and we have 4 locators.
Below is the complete LoginPage java code that we have written so far:
Look at the Loginpage.feature file that we created earlier. We have written page actions for all the scenarios:
We will continue in our next tutorial.
