Does it also support Page object model

[QA-Rahul]

I have been using normal Python and behave BDD. Today I come across this behave-webdriver and curious to know if it supports page object model.

I tried to implement it within my existing framework but seems I could not.

Your given example has almost everything like steps, features, etc but it has no page class. In page object model generally we devices logic and data. Currently, if I use your this framework. I will have to write data and login both into step class I assume.

Looking for some helpful inputs.

You can always create new steps and you can choose to use the driver class or not. You should be able to use other frameworks , too.

Can you elaborate more on what you are trying/not able to do?

@spyoungtech - Thank you for your response. Let me give you insights on what I am trying to achieve :

My Project structure:

Project 
      -Base [package]
         --BasePage.py
    
  -features [package]
        -steps [sub package]
           --stepsLogin.py
        login.feature

  -pages
   --loginPage.py

Code :

BasePage.py :

from behave_webdriver.driver import BehaveDriverMixin
from selenium import webdriver
from seleniumrequests import RequestMixin


class BehaveRequestDriver(BehaveDriverMixin, RequestMixin):
    pass

    def browser_initiate(context):
        context.behave_driver = BehaveRequestDriver()

        # behave -D BROWSER=chrome
        if 'BROWSER' in context.config.userdata.keys():
            if context.config.userdata['BROWSER'] is None:
                BROWSER = 'chrome'
            else:
                BROWSER = context.config.userdata['BROWSER']
        else:
            BROWSER = 'chrome'
        # For some reason, python doesn't have switch case -
        # http://stackoverflow.com/questions/60208/replacements-for-switch-statement-in-python
        if BROWSER == 'chrome':
            context.browser = webdriver.Chrome()
        elif BROWSER == 'firefox':
            context.browser = webdriver.Firefox()
        elif BROWSER == 'safari':
            context.browser = webdriver.Safari()
        elif BROWSER == 'ie':
            context.browser = webdriver.Ie()
        elif BROWSER == 'opera':
            context.browser = webdriver.Opera()
        elif BROWSER == 'phantomjs':
            context.browser = webdriver.PhantomJS()
        else:
            print("Browser you entered:", BROWSER, "is invalid value")

        context.browser.maximize_window()
        context.load_BaseURL()
        print("Before scenario\n")


    def close(context):
        context.behave_driver.close()

stepsLogin.py :

from behave import *

@given(u'I navigate to Login page')
def step_impl(context):
    context.click_loginLink()


@when(u'I click onlogin')
def step_impl(context):
    context.click_loginLink_final()

@then(u'I enter valid email')
def step_impl(context):
    context.enter_email()

@then(u'I enter password')
def step_impl(context):
    context.enter_password()


@when(u'I click on Submit')
def step_impl(context):
    context.click_btn_FinalSubmit()


@then(u'I check I am logged in successfully')
def step_impl(context):
    print('Verifying user logged in..')

loginPage.py :

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from Base.BasePage import BehaveRequestDriver
from ElementLocators.loginLocators import LoginLocators
from Utilities.EnvData import EnvData

class LoginPage(BehaveRequestDriver):

    def __init__(self):
        self.btn_login_xpath = "//a[text()='login']"
        self.txtinput_email_id = "email"
        self.txtinput_password_id = "password"
        self.btn_finalsubmit_xpath = "//button[text()='submit']"

    def click_loginLink(self):

        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(self.btn_login_xpath).click()
        self.driver.get(Env.LOGIN_URL)

    def enter_email(self):

        self.driver.find_element_by_id(self.txtinput_email_id).send_keys(Env.LOGIN_USERNAME)

    def enter_password(self):

        self.driver.find_element_by_id(self.txtinput_email_id).send_keys(Env.LOGIN_PASSWORD)

   def click_loginButton(self):

        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(self.btn_finalsubmit_xpath ).click()

environment.py :

from Base.BasePage import BehaveRequestDriver
from Pages.LoginPage import LoginPage

def before_all(context):
    context.BehaveRequestDriver = BehaveRequestDriver()
    context.LoginPage = LoginPage()

I have just divided diff. code into the diff. packages and classes. My page class has actual logic like enter data, click on an element, etc and those I am using in step class.

The issue is when I use the above one, It never goes into class BehaveRequestDriver so something wrong in the first place I think.
