Mastering Selenium WebDriver 3.0 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

The second edition of Mastering Selenium 3.0 WebDriver starts by showing you how to build your own Selenium framework with Maven. You'll then look at how you can solve the difficult problems that you will undoubtedly come across as you start using Selenium in an enterprise environment and learn how to produce the right feedback when failing. Next, you’ll explore common exceptions that you will come across as you use Selenium, the root causes of these exceptions, and how to fix them. Along the way, you’ll use Advanced User Interactions APIs, running any JavaScript you need through Selenium; and learn how to quickly spin up a Selenium Grid using Docker containers. In the concluding chapters, you‘ll work through a series of scenarios that demonstrate how to extend Selenium to work with external libraries and applications so that you can be sure you are using the right tool for the job.

Introducing the Query object

To remove the issues we are experiencing here, we are going to start building our page objects using something designed to get around the problems noted earlier: the Query object.

First of all, you will need to add the following dependency to your POM.xml file:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.lazerycode.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>query</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Then we are going to create an abstract class called BasePage that all other pages will be able to inherit from. We are doing this because we are going to need to have access to a RemoteWebDriver object, and we don't want to add this code to every single page object:

package com.masteringselenium.query_page_objects;

import com.masteringselenium.DriverBase;
import org...
