Page Objects for Python

Page Objects are a testing pattern for websites. Page Objects model a page on your site to provide accessors and methods for interacting with this page, both to reduce boilerplate and provide a single place for element locators.

This project is an implementation of this pattern for Python using Selenium webdriver. It is agnostic to test harnesses and designed to help you build up libraries of code to test your sites.

Quick Example

>>> from page_objects import PageObject, PageElement
>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>>
>>> class LoginPage(PageObject):
        username = PageElement(id_='username')
        password = PageElement(name='password')
        login = PageElement(css='input[type="submit"]')
>>>
>>> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
>>> driver.root_uri = "http://example.com"
>>> page = LoginPage(driver)
>>> page.get("/login")
>>> page.username = 'secret'
>>> page.password = 'squirrel'
>>> assert page.username.text == 'secret'
>>> page.login.click()
