Repeatable annotations & HasSessionDetails API #497

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-10-28T09:23:36Z

Change list

Migration to Java 8. Repeatable annotations for page objects:

Annotations AndroidFindAll, AndroidFindBys, iOSFindAll, iOSFindBys, SelendroidFindAll,
SelendroidFindBys became deprecated.
Annotations AndroidFindBy, iOSFindBy, SelendroidFindBy became repeatable.
The new annotation io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.HowToUseLocators was added to help to define the searching strategy (chain or using all possible locators) correctly.

Also were added:

The io.appium.java_client.HasSessionDetails interface. It has methods implemented by default. This interface is implemented by AppiumDriver
The refactoring of the io.appium.java_client.AppiumFieldDecorator and related supporting tools. Now it uses session data instead of the class of the given driver for the routing between annotations.

Types of changes

Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)

The old usecase for the chained searching:

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement;
import io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBys;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;

@FindBys({@FindBy(someStrategy1), @FindBy(someStrategy2)}) 
@AndroidFindBys({@AndroidFindBy(someStrategy1), @AndroidFindBy(someStrategy2)}) 
@iOSFindBys({@iOSFindBy(someStrategy1), @iOSFindBy(someStrategy2)}) 
RemoteWebElement someElement;

@FindBys({@FindBy(someStrategy1), @FindBy(someStrategy2)}) 
@AndroidFindBys({@AndroidFindBy(someStrategy1), @AndroidFindBy(someStrategy2)}) 
@iOSFindBys({@iOSFindBy(someStrategy1), @iOSFindBy(someStrategy2)}) 
List<RemoteWebElement> someElements;

@SrinivasanTarget The issue which you pointed has got fixed.

SrinivasanTarget · 2016-10-30T06:32:24Z

@TikhomirovSergey I like this PR. Gonna be a big change. Code LGTM 👍 Haven't run through the tests, will run through it soon.

saikrishna321 · 2016-10-30T17:48:53Z

@TikhomirovSergey i'm finding hard to understand the use-of @HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = CHAIN, iOSAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE) can you please throw some light on this ?

SrinivasanTarget · 2016-10-30T19:31:47Z

@saikrishna321 Please find the simple use case below,

@HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = CHAIN,iOSAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE)
@AndroidFindBy(some UISelector()) @AndroidFindBy(Some view or text inside it) 
@iOSFindBy(xpath1) @iOSFindBy(xpath2)
List<RemoteWebElement> someElements;

Based on above code snippet,

CHAIN finds all the elements that matches some view or text inside it (second @AndroidFindBy) that appears under element that matches some UISelector (first @AndroidFindBy)

ALL_POSSIBLE finds all possible iOS elements that matches either xpath1 or xpath2

Incase if we didn't mention any of HowToUseLocators by default it is CHAIN

saikrishna321 · 2016-10-31T03:19:54Z

@SrinivasanTarget yah i get this... but what does CHAIN and ALL_POSSIBLE do ?

SrinivasanTarget · 2016-10-31T04:47:45Z

@saikrishna321 Have updated the comments above. Let me know if it is not clear.

SrinivasanTarget · 2016-10-31T07:18:04Z

@TikhomirovSergey Have run through android tests and everything LGTM.Also @codacy is Green.

TikhomirovSergey · 2016-10-31T09:14:57Z

@saikrishna321

yah i get this... but what does CHAIN and ALL_POSSIBLE do ?

That means that each one platform-specific locator can be a part of the chaing of the searching or it is one of possible variants to find the desired element/the desired list of elements as well.

Before we have been using such annotations as @AndroidFindBys({@AndroidFindBy(1),@AndroidFindBy(2)})/@iOSFindBys({@iOSFindBy(1), @iOSFindBy(2)}) to define the searching chain and @AndroidFindAll({@AndroidFindBy(1),@AndroidFindBy(2)})/@iOSFindAll({@iOSFindBy(1), @iOSFindBy(2)}) to define possible locators for the searching.

Now we are migrating to Java 8. It provides repeatable annotations: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/annotations/repeating.html

So I think that some annotations above are redundant now. We could define the chain like:
@AndroidFindBy(1) @AndroidFindBy(2)/@iOSFindBy(1) @iOSFindBy(2)
But it is still possible that end user needs to define these locators as the set of possible variants to find an element.

So

@HowToUseLocators(iOSAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE, androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE)
@AndroidFindBy(1) @AndroidFindBy(2)
@iOSFindBy(1) @iOSFindBy(2)

If the end user needs for combined strategy for each target platform then

@HowToUseLocators(iOSAutomation = CHAIN, androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE)
@AndroidFindBy(1) @AndroidFindBy(2) //each one locator is the 
//possible variant to find elements
@iOSFindBy(1) @iOSFindBy(2) //it is for the chained searching

or

@HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE)
@AndroidFindBy(1) @AndroidFindBy(2) //each one locator is the 
//possible variant to find elements
@iOSFindBy(1) @iOSFindBy(2) //it is for the chained searching by default

How does iOS feels?

SrinivasanTarget · 2016-10-31T09:20:02Z

@TikhomirovSergey

How does iOS feels?

Have upgraded my xcode to 8 so i cant run through existing tests on XCUITest Mode. But test code for iOS looks good to me.

saikrishna321 · 2016-10-31T13:21:44Z

@SrinivasanTarget @TikhomirovSergey I'm still on xcode 7, any help needed to run the iOS test ?

saikrishna321 · 2016-10-31T13:27:49Z

@TikhomirovSergey well explained, i had a chat with @SrinivasanTarget on @CacheLookup will take a look on it ..

SrinivasanTarget · 2016-10-31T14:31:42Z

I'm still on xcode 7, any help needed to run the iOS test ?

@saikrishna321 May be you can help us with IOSPageFactoryTest.

saikrishna321 · 2016-10-31T18:50:45Z

@TikhomirovSergey @SrinivasanTarget all tests passed( Tested on iPhone 9.3 Simulator, xcode 7) 👍
