Timeouts and Intervals

Previously there was ability to set common retry timeout and interval values. Now it is possible to set specific parameters for operations of different kind.

New methods of AtataContextBuilder:

  • UseBaseRetryTimeout and UseBaseRetryInterval - base values.
  • UseElementFindTimeout and UseElementFindRetryInterval - used in the process of element finding.
  • UseWaitingTimeout and UseWaitingRetryInterval - used by waiting operations.
  • UseVerificationTimeout and UseVerificationRetryInterval - used by verification operations like Should.Contain("some text").

Usage

AtataContext.Configure().
    UseBaseRetryTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5)).
    UseBaseRetryInterval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5)).
    UseWaitingTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)).
    UseVerificationTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)).
    Build();

Generic ClickAndGo and DoubleClickAndGo methods

2 generic methods were added to Control<TOwner>:

public TNavigateTo ClickAndGo<TNavigateTo>(TNavigateTo navigateToPageObject = null, bool? temporarily = null)
    where TNavigateTo : PageObject<TNavigateTo>;

public TNavigateTo DoubleClickAndGo<TNavigateTo>(TNavigateTo navigateToPageObject = null, bool? temporarily = null)
    where TNavigateTo : PageObject<TNavigateTo>;

They allow to navigate to different target page objects.

Usage

Go.To<SomePage>().
    SomeButton.ClickAndGo<AnotherPage>();

Go.To<SomePage>().
    SomeButton.ClickAndGo(new AnotherPage("some parameter"));

WaitForScriptAttribute

New base trigger attribute for a waiting for script to be executed was added. An inherited class should override BuildScript method and optionally BuildReportMessage.

Example

public class WaitForJQueryAjaxAttribute : WaitForScriptAttribute
{
    public WaitForJQueryAjaxAttribute(TriggerEvents on = TriggerEvents.AfterClick, TriggerPriority priority = TriggerPriority.Medium)
        : base(on, priority)
    {
    }

    protected override string BuildReportMessage<TOwner>(TriggerContext<TOwner> context)
        => "Wait for jQuery AJAX execution";

    protected override string BuildScript<TOwner>(TriggerContext<TOwner> context)
        => "return jQuery.active == 0";
}

PerformActions method

New method of PageObject<TOwner>:

public TOwner PerformActions(Func<Actions, Actions> actionsBuilder);

Performs the specified set of WebDriver actions. Can be used for any complex actions, for example pressing a combination of keys.

Usage

Go.To<SomePage>().
    PerformActions(x => x.KeyDown(Keys.Control).SendKeys("a").KeyUp(Keys.Control));
