New `On` and `OnOrTo` navigation methods

The new methods were added to Go and AtataNavigator classes:

public T On<T>()
    where T : PageObject<T>;

Continues with the specified page object type. Firstly, checks whether the current AtataContext.PageObject is T, if it is, returns it; otherwise, creates a new instance of T without navigation. The method is useful in case when in a particular step method (BDD step, for example) you don’t have an instance of current page object but you are sure that a browser is on the needed page.

public T OnOrTo<T>()
    where T : PageObject<T>;

Continues with the specified page object type or navigates to it. Firstly, checks whether the current AtataContext.PageObject is T, if it is, returns it; otherwise, creates a new instance of T with navigation. The method is useful in case when in a particular step method (BDD step, for example) you don’t have an instance of current page object and you are not sure that a browser is on the needed page, but can be.

Usage

Go.OnOrTo<SomePage>();

AtataContext.Current.Go.On<SomePage>();
