How to create custom ControlDefinitionAttribute.
There are cases when custom ControlDefinitionAttribute has to be created to define some specific controls.
For example, there are pages containing the following paragraph element: <p class="error-message"> which we need to test.
To create a custom control definition attribute, create a new class inherited from the existing ControlDefinitionAttrbiute.
using Atata;
namespace SampleApp.UITests
{
public class ErrorMessageDefinitionAttribute : ControlDefinitionAttribute
{
public ErrorMessageDefinitionAttribute()
: base("p") // Sets the base XPath of the scope element.
{
ContainingClass = "error-message"; // Sets the containing CSS class name.
ComponentTypeName = "error message"; // Sets the name of the component type.
// It is used in report log messages to describe the component type.
}
}
}
namespace SampleApp.UITests
{
using _ = SomePage;
public class SomePage : Page<_>
{
[ErrorMessageDefinition]
public Text<_> ErrorMessage { get; private set; }
}
}
