For Page Factory page can we pass the value for @FindBy from a xml file

[Abhijit Biradar]

Hi friends,

I have a query regarding Page Factory design pattern.

Can we pass the value for @FindBy from a xml file...? Means for our project we maintain a xml file which contain  all parameter( config, test data, object identification value , etc...)

So, what i want to know can we read that identification type & it's value from xml file & pass to @FindBy annotation...?

currently we pass values hard coded like below.

for example:

@FindBy(name="uid")

WebElement userName;

Thanks in adv.

Regards,

Abhijit

Abhijit,

This was an interesting problem for me. So I decided to spend a little bit of time on this and created a blog post that should help you build this on your own.

My blog post link : https://rationaleemotions.wordpress.com/2016/06/27/pagefactory-page-objects-and-locators-from-an-external-file/

As an example I have used JSON files, but you should be able to alter this and make use of Xml files as well.

Thanks & Regards
