Support
1

Hello
I have a screen witch contain elements, one of these elements is a list
and the list item is contain some elements(strings, images ,)
I want to define the item as a page object using the locaters

I did smth like this

class ScreenPageObject  {
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(id = "list")
    lateinit var list: Items
// initial page object using PageFactory.initElements.......
}

open class Items(element: WebElement) : Widget(element) {
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(id = "CellContainer")
    lateinit var items: MutableList<Item>
}

open class Item(element: WebElement?) : Widget(element) {
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeStaticText[@name=\"TitleLabel\"]")
    lateinit var title: MobileElement
}

but I get an error on lateinit property items has not been initialized

thanks…

better use something like:

    @iOSXCUITFindBys(value = {
            @iOSXCUITBy(id = "list"),
            @iOSXCUITBy(id = "CellContainer")
    })

    @iOSXCUITFindBys(value = {
            @iOSXCUITBy(id = "list"),
            @iOSXCUITBy(id = "TitleLabel")
    })

@Aleksei
the items on the Items class which not initialized

anythings on the items class are not initialized

this line should be in all classes. you have strange a bit page object. normally it looks like:

public class MyPage extends BasePage {

    @iOSXCUITFindBy(id = "xxx")
    @AndroidFindBy(id = "xxx")
    private WebElement mainContainer;

    // header
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(id = "xxx")
    @AndroidFindBy(id = "xxx")
    private WebElement backButton;

    // body
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(id = "xxx")
    @AndroidFindBy(id = "xxx")
    private WebElement seeCountriesCurrenciesLink;

    // ...

    // footer
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(id = "xxx")
    @AndroidFindBy(id = "xxx")
    private WebElement autoRenewSubscriptionLink;

    public MyPagePage(AppiumDriver driver) {
        super(driver);
        // where super in base page does init e.g. 
        // PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(DEFAULT_WAIT_TIME)), this);
    }

    @Step("Check 'MyPage' loaded {sec}")
    public boolean isLoaded(int sec) {
        Logger.log("sec: '" + sec + "'");
        setLookTiming(sec);
        return super.isLoaded(mainContainer);
    }

    @Step("Tap 'SeeCountriesCurrencies' link")
    public MyOtherPage tapSeeCountriesCurrenciesLink() {
        Logger.log();
        Assert.assertTrue(tap(seeCountriesCurrenciesLink), createAssertionLog("FAILED"));
        return new MyOtherPage(driver);
    }
}

just ignore Step annotation from Allure and logs line

yeah I already have the initial line on base class, but I didn’t add it when I copy this code

my question is about the Widget class, how is initialize the elements? should it also have this line PageFactory.initElements…etc??

6

yes it should
…

ok, when I add this
init {
PageFactory.initElements(AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), this)
}

on both Item and Items
the title always is located as the title of first element in the list
do u know why?

8

what? show pls code and say what you are expecting

here

open class Items(element: WebElement) : Widget(element) {
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(id = "CellContainer")
    lateinit var items: MutableList<Item>

init {
PageFactory.initElements(AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), this)
}
}

open class Item(element: WebElement?) : Widget(element) {
    @iOSXCUITFindBy(xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeStaticText[@name=\"TitleLabel\"]")
    lateinit var title: MobileElement

init {
PageFactory.initElements(AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), this)
}

}

the items list on the Items class, all of its items have the same title element and its the first one

I expect that each item should locate its tittle
right?

this is list of elements

this is only one element

“TitleLabel” only in last.

PS I am not sure in your code as far as I am more with Java

Why you need search elements inside classes of some page? Why not define all on one page…

I have example like this

I have a screen having list of components
each component have some component such as title (my project is more complex but I put here a part of it)
