I am currently learning page object model (POM) and I am trying to access a specific web element using @FindBy but I am not sure how to correctly write the syntax for my element into @FindBy?

What I have is:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[dta-qid='inventory']");

So my question is how do I place a[da-qid='inventory'] correctly into @FindBy?

Edit:

By, a[da-qid='inventory'], what I mean is that it selects every <a> element whose da-qid value begins with 'inventory'.

@FindBy(css="a[dta-qid='inventory']")

I've used that kind of locators in my last project and it's worked like charm. I hope this is that You want :)

I can't give you an exact answer without seeing the full element, but the official documentation on selectors ought to help you out.

This syntax might help u check out. @FindBy(locator="locator value") private WebElement elementName; Don't forget in POM we follow encapsulation concept
