Global Events

The functionality allows to subscribe to Atata built-in and custom events as well as publish events.

EventBus

Added EventBus class with IEventBus interface with a set of methods:

public void Publish<TEvent>(TEvent eventData);

public object Subscribe<TEvent>(Action eventHandler);

public object Subscribe<TEvent>(Action<TEvent> eventHandler);

public object Subscribe<TEvent>(Action<TEvent, AtataContext> eventHandler);

public object Subscribe<TEvent, TEventHandler>()
    where TEventHandler : class, IEventHandler<TEvent>, new();

public object Subscribe<TEvent>(IEventHandler<TEvent> eventHandler);

public void Unsubscribe(object subscription);

public void UnsubscribeHandler(object eventHandler);

public void UnsubscribeAll<TEvent>();

public void UnsubscribeAll(Type eventType);

Added public IEventBus EventBus { get; } property to AtataContext, which can used to subscribe to and publish events at any time of test cycle.

IEventHandler

The event handler interface to implement for event handler classes:

public interface IEventHandler<in TEvent>
{
    void Handle(TEvent eventData, AtataContext context);
}

IConditionalEventHandler

The event handler interface to implement for conditional event handler classes:

public interface IConditionalEventHandler<in TEvent> : IEventHandler<TEvent>
{
    bool CanHandle(TEvent eventData, AtataContext context);
}

EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder

The builder of event subscriptions. Added public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder EventSubscriptions { get; } property to AtataContextBuilder, which provides the methods to subscribe to Atata and custom events during AtataContext building.

The list of its methods:

public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder Add<TEvent>(Action eventHandler);

public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder Add<TEvent>(Action<TEvent> eventHandler);

public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder Add<TEvent>(Action<TEvent, AtataContext> eventHandler);

public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder Add<TEvent, TEventHandler>()
    where TEventHandler : class, IEventHandler<TEvent>, new();

public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder Add<TEvent>(IEventHandler<TEvent> eventHandler);

public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder Add(Type eventHandlerType);

public EventSubscriptionsAtataContextBuilder Add(Type eventType, Type eventHandlerType);

Usage

Subscribe action event handler

AtataContext.GlobalConfiguration
    .EventSubscriptions.Add<DriverInitEvent>(e => e.Driver.Maximize());

Subscribe action event handler as method

Method can have no parameters, single event type parameter, or event type parameter with AtataContext parameter.

Examples:

private static void OnDriverInitEvent()
{
}

private static void OnDriverInitEvent(DriverInitEvent eventData)
{
}

private static void OnDriverInitEvent(DriverInitEvent eventData, AtataContext context)
{
}

Then subscribe it:

AtataContext.GlobalConfiguration
    .EventSubscriptions.Add<DriverInitEvent>(OnDriverInitEvent);

Create and subscribe specific event handler class

Create an event handler class, for example for DriverInitEvent:

public class DriverInitEventHandler : IEventHandler<DriverInitEvent>
{
    public void Handle(DriverInitEvent eventData, AtataContext context)
    {
        // TODO: Implement.
    }
}

Subscribe it during AtataContext building:

AtataContext.GlobalConfiguration
    .EventSubscriptions.Add(new DriverInitEventHandler());

Create and subscribe universal event handler class

Create a univeral event handler class, which can be used to subscribe to any event type:

private class UniversalEventHandler : IEventHandler<object>
{
    public void Handle(object eventData, AtataContext context)
    {
        // TODO: Implement.
    }
}

Subscribe it during AtataContext building to different events:

AtataContext.GlobalConfiguration
    .EventSubscriptions.Add<DriverInitEvent>(new UniversalEventHandler())
    .EventSubscriptions.Add<AtataContextCleanUpEvent>(new UniversalEventHandler());

Built-in Events

AtataContext Events

• AtataContextInitEvent - an event that occurs when AtataContext is started to initialize.
• AtataContextInitCompletedEvent - an event that occurs when AtataContext is initialized.
• AtataContextCleanUpEvent - an event that occurs when AtataContext is cleaning up.
• DriverInitEvent - an event that occurs when AtataContext driver is initializing.

PageObject Events

• PageObjectInitEvent - an event that occurs when PageObject<TOwner> is started to initialize.
• PageObjectInitCompletedEvent - an event that occurs when PageObject<TOwner> is initialized.
• PageObjectDeInitEvent - an event that occurs when PageObject<TOwner> is deinitialized.

Screenshot Events

• ScreenshotFileSavedEvent - an event that occurs when a screenshot file is saved.

Old Event Subscription Methods Became Obsolete

Methods of AtataContextBuilder became obsolete:

• OnBuilding -> Use EventSubscriptions.Add<AtataContextInitEvent>(...) instead.
• OnBuilt -> Use EventSubscriptions.Add<AtataContextInitCompletedEvent>(...) instead.
• OnDriverCreated -> Use EventSubscriptions.Add<DriverInitEvent>(...) instead.
• OnCleanUp -> Use EventSubscriptions.Add<AtataContextCleanUpEvent>(...) instead.

The old methods will continue to work but will generate warnings on their usage.
