how to initialize entFacade object?

[ibmer921150]

Hi there,

If I define the WebElementFacade on PageObject class as following. The WebElementFacade will be initialized and work.

@FindBy(linkText = "About us")
    WebElementFacade aboutUs;
   
    public void navigateToSubMenu(String submenu) {
            this.shouldBeVisible(aboutUs);
            aboutUs.click();
        }
    }

If I defined the WebElementFacade on PageObject class in HashMap. The WebElementFacade object will return null. May I know how to initialize the WebElementFacade before put it into HashMap or where I should call PageFactory.initElements(getDriver(), this) ? Thanks

    HashMap<String, WebElementFacade> hmap = new HashMap<String, WebElementFacade>();

    @FindBy(linkText = "About us")
    WebElementFacade aboutUs;
   
    public void navigateToSubMenu(String submenu) {
            setHash();
            getHash(submenu).click();
        }
    }

    public void setHash() {
        hmap.put("About us", aboutUs);
    }

    public WebElementFacade getHash(String submenue) {
        WebElementFacade wf = hmap.get(submenue);
        return wf;
    }

You can add a web element dynamically (not using the @FindBy annotation) using the findBy() method (or the "$" shortcut).

Your code was incorrect....that's why you have a null pointer return.

I see you put the "aboutUs" to the hmap, then you tried to retrieve the element using "submenu"?  I do not see when/where you set (or pass( the "submenu" = "aboutUs".

That's where you got the null pointer.

findBy() or $ is working. Awesome, thanks John!
