Navigation Page Object | Bondar Academy

Lesson Summary

In this lesson, we focused on enhancing the navigation page object methods to ensure their stability and resilience during execution. Here are the key points discussed: Key Concepts Method Stability: Page object methods should execute successfully regardless of the application's state. State Awareness: Methods must incorporate logic to handle different application states, ensuring they can prepare for correct execution. Implementation Steps Created additional methods for navigation to various pages, such as the date picker . Identified issues with menu visibility during navigation, leading to test failures. Added a delay to simulate the issue and observed the failure due to the menu being collapsed. Developed a private helper method called selectGroupMenuItem to check the state of the menu and expand it if necessary. Utilized the getAttribute method to determine if the menu is expanded or collapsed. Helper Method Logic The selectGroupMenuItem method checks the area-expanded attribute of the menu item: if (expandedState === false) { await groupMenuItem.click(); } Conclusion By implementing this logic, the page object methods became aware of the menu state, allowing for stable navigation across different pages. This approach can be applied to other methods within the page object for improved reliability. In summary, ensuring that page object methods are state-aware enhances their robustness and execution consistency.
