* The POM Locator class is a child class of string which contains methods with_index( ) and with_option( ) for inserting values. For example: | * The POM Locator class is a child class of string which contains methods with_index( ) and with_option( ) for inserting values. For example: | ||
In a page class, the locator for items in the themes category list: | |||
loc = locator.Locator | |||
theme_category_link = | |||
loc("css=div[class~='other-categories'] h3:contains('Themes') + ul + ul li:nth-child(%d) > a") | |||
In a test case, to create a locator for the 2nd category in the list : | |||
cat_locator = theme_category_link.with_index(2) | |||
If a list requires an offset to index an element (i.e. the 1st element is accessed by “:nth-child(2)” ) the page class may define an alternate locator class which defines with_index( ) to include the offset. | |||
In the case of the Themes landing page the ThemesLoc class maps a single index into the (row, column) pair the page is implemented in. | |||
