require 'page_navigation' module PageObject # # Module to facilitate to creating of page objects in step definitions. You # can make the methods below available to all of your step definitions by adding # this module to World. This idea was first discussed in Alister Scott's blog # entry http://watirmelon.com/2011/06/07/removing-local-page-references-from-cucumber-steps/. # # @example Making the PageFactory available to your step definitions # World PageObject::PageFactory # # @example Visiting a page for the first time in a Scenario # visit_page MyPageObject do |page| # page.name = 'Cheezy' # end # # @example using a page that has already been visited in a Scenario # on_page MyPageObject do |page| # page.name.should == 'Cheezy' # end # # If you plan to use the navigate_to method you will need to ensure # you setup the possible routes ahead of time. You must always have # a default route in order for this to work. Here is an example of # how you define routes: # # @example Example routes defined in env.rb # PageObject::PageFactory.routes = { # :default => [[PageOne,:method1], [PageTwoA,:method2], [PageThree,:method3]], # :another_route => [[PageOne,:method1, "arg1"], [PageTwoB,:method2b], [PageThree,:method3]] # } # # Notice the first entry of :another_route is passing an argument # to the method. # module PageFactory include PageNavigation # # Create and navigate to a page object. The navigation will only work if the # 'page_url' method was call on the page object. # # @param [PageObject, String] a class that has included the # PageObject module or a string containing the name of the class # @param Hash values that is pass through to page class a # available in the @params instance variable. # @param an optional block to be called # @return [PageObject] the newly created page object # def visit_page(page_class, params={:using_params => {}}, &block) on_page page_class, params, true, &block end # Support 'visit' for readability of usage alias_method :visit, :visit_page # # Create a page object. # # @param [PageObject, String] a class that has included the PageObject module or a string containing the name of the class # @param Hash values that is pass through to page class a # available in the @params instance variable. # @param [Boolean] a boolean indicating if the page should be visited? default is false. # @param [block] an optional block to be called # @return [PageObject] the newly created page object # def on_page(page_class, params={:using_params => {}}, visit=false, &block) page_class = class_from_string(page_class) if page_class.is_a?
