A Page Factory is one way of implementing a Page Object Model. In order to support the Page Object pattern.
As in Java we are using @findBy, here we are declaring all web element in dictionary.
Dictionary keys become WebElement or class member variable with having all extended WebElement methods.
Main Features
- Initialise all the webElements declared in Point at a time.
- All WebElements methods are re-define to add extra features eg- click method extended to have explicit wait for element to be clickable.
- Cent percent unittest coverage.
- Added Selenium 4 support for ActionChains methods
- Supports Selenium 4 ActionChains methods
- Raised custom Page factory exceptions
Installation
pip install selenium-page-factory
Pre-Requisite
Every Page in Page Object Model should have WebDriver object as class member
as shown below
class PageClass(PageFactory):
def __init__(self,driver):
self.driver = driver
self.timeout = 15
self.highlight = True
self.mobile_test = False

clear_text | click_button |
double_click | get_list_item_count |
select_element_by_text | select_element_by_index |
select_element_by_value | get_all_list_item |

element_to_be_clickable | text_to_be_present_in_element |
