Software to Build a Selenium POM

Question

I have a basic script that parses through HTML and creates a basic POM based on Inputs, Selects etc. It does a decent job but I was curious if there is any 'professional' or popularly used pieces that offers similar functionality?

This is for C# with Selenium 2 using the PageFactory.

Answer 1

I haven't tried it but there's a Chrome Extension called Selenium Page Object Generator that looks like it automates PO creation, and it supports C#.

SWD Page Recorder also automates PO creation, and supports C#.

Answer 2

My current Solution. Parses through the HTML file (C:\QA\Test.html), finds all input tags and Select tags, if they have an ID it will convert them into a POM based format. It then prints out to C:\QA\Pom.txt the basic object for it.

Overall, it does 90% of the work that I need, with minor editing.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.IO;
using CsQuery;
class Solution
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var doc = CQ.CreateDocumentFromFile(@"C:\QA\Test.html");
        var inputFields = doc["input"]; 
        var inputPairs = inputFields.Select(node => new Tuple<string, string>(node.Id, node.Value));
        string pom = String.Empty;
        foreach (var pair in inputPairs)
        {
            var split = pair.Item1.Split('_');
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(pair.Item1.Trim()))
            {
                pom += String.Format("[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = \"{0}\")]\r\n", pair.Item1);
                pom += String.Format("public IWebElement {0};\r\n\r\n", split[split.Length - 1]);
            }
        }

        var selectFields = doc["select"]; 
        var selectPairs = selectFields.Select(node => new Tuple<string, string>(node.Id, node.Value));
        foreach (var pair in selectPairs)
        {
            var split = pair.Item1.Split('_');
            var name = split[split.Length - 1];
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(pair.Item1.Trim()))
            {
                pom += String.Format("[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = \"{0}\")]\r\n", pair.Item1);
                pom += String.Format(@"public IWebElement {0}Element;
                                        public SelectElement {0}
                                        {{
                                            get {{ return new SelectElement({0}Element); }}
                                        }} {1}{1}{1}", name,Environment.NewLine);
            }
        }
        File.WriteAllText(@"C:\QA\Pom.txt", pom);
    }
}
