PageUtilities Class for Web Automation The PageUtilities class is designed to provide various utility functions for web automation tasks. This class is specifically tailored for interaction with web pages using the Selenium library. It offers methods to handle interactions with web elements, perform actions like clicking, sending keystrokes, and more.
Getting Started To use the PageUtilities class, you need to have the Selenium library installed. You can install it using the following command:
pip install selenium
Make sure you have a compatible web driver for your browser installed as well. There is a script to check driver installs included.
You can use the PageUtilities class by creating an instance and passing the web driver instance to its constructor. Here's an example of how to use the class to interact with web elements:
from selenium import webdriver from page_utilities import PageUtilities # Import the PageUtilities class
driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Use the appropriate driver for your browser
page_utils = PageUtilities(driver)
element_to_click = driver.find_element_by_id("element_id") page_utils.click_element(element_to_click)
input_element = driver.find_element_by_name("input_name") page_utils.set_attribute_value(input_element, "Hello, PageUtilities!")
The click_element method allows you to click on a specified element. It supports both regular clicking and clicking based on element coordinates.
The send_keystrokes_to_element method enables you to send keystrokes to a specific element. This is useful for interacting with input fields or triggering certain actions on the page.
The get_attribute_value and set_attribute_value methods provide functionality to get and set attribute values of web elements.
The element_is_displayed method allows you to check if a specific element is displayed on the page within a specified timeout.
The handle_alert_window method can be used to switch to an alert window, retrieve its text, and accept the alert.
The check_home method helps you determine if the current page is the "home" page by examining the URL.
The scroll_page_bottom method lets you scroll the page to the bottom.
The PageUtilities class provides options for customization, such as enabling click based on element coordinates and taking screenshots before clicks. These settings can be configured using the provided properties.
For more details on each method's parameters and usage, refer to the docstrings within the class implementation.
Compatibility The provided code has been designed to work with Selenium and is compatible with various web drivers and browsers. Make sure to use the appropriate web driver for your chosen browser.
