Are you lost with locating the web elements while debugging your test script? \u00a0The highlight feature of Qxf2’s Page Object Model framework helps you to debug locators by giving a visual clue. This blog post will guide you with the steps involved in using the highlight feature of Qxf2’s Page Object Model framework in your test script.<\/span><\/p>\n

The highlight feature in our framework will give you a visual clue of the test flow.\u00a0<\/span>On enabling the highlight feature, the web elements under test will be highlighted during test execution.\u00a0A locator might match with exactly a single web element on a web page. It might match with multiple web elements as well like in the case of reading data from a table.\u00a0<\/span>The highlighting feature has been implemented for both scenarios.<\/p>\n

\n

Steps to invoke the highlight feature in your test script are:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Fork and clone the Qxf2’s Page Object Model framework<\/a>\u00a0and follow the setup instructions detailed out in the Readme.md<\/a> file. To jump start with creating your new project with our framework, you can refer to this blog post: How to start using the Qxf2’s framework with a new project<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u200c
    \n\u200c<\/li>\n
  2. Edit your test script to turn on or off the highlight feature as needed. Call the turn_on_highlight()<\/em> method to enable the highlighting feature. Similarly, call the turn_off_highlight()<\/em> method to disable the highlighting feature of the framework in your test script. The test script namely, test_example_form.py<\/a>\u00a0in our framework has been updated to include this feature<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200c
    \n\u200c<\/li>\n
  3. Run your test script and you will have a visual highlighting that shows the flow of your test. A sample run of our test script namely, test_example_form.py is as follows:
    \nOpen Git Bash and execute\u00a0pytest -k example_form <\/em><\/strong>command. You will see the visual highlighting of the web element under test as in the image below.\u200c
    \n\u200c<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Test<\/a><\/p>\n

    I hope this post helps you with debugging your test script!<\/p>\n
