Selenium : Unable to identify object using data provider

Question

Beginner in this space, appreciate your help on the problem!

I'm trying to script a path

Login create new user log out

Login method works fine Create user is dependent on Login method to be completed, using data providers and post login to create new user

Issue is after logging in the elements/objects in create user class are not identified. I have tried it using different element finders and browsers. Appreciate if you help around

Answer 1

Have you tried this:

public void entityFieldIsEntered(String field, String value)  {
    WebElement valueElem = new SharedDriver().findElement(By.xpath("(.//*[text()='" + field
            + ":'])[2]/parent::*/span/input"));
    valueElem.sendKeys(new CharSequence[] { value });

}

assuming you are using input wrapper in your html. This code search for text label on the screen, then goes to its parent and navigate to input field.

If you are going to use multiple page objects in one test, you will need to share the same driver between those page objects. Try creating a separate setupDriver class and have each page object take a driver parameter to be constructed. At the beginning of each test setup the driver, then pass in the driver as you create each object.
