Selenium Web Driver : How to map html elements to Java Object. - selenium

Question

As part of Selenium Web-driver learning I came across a scenario. Please let me know the professional approach to proceed.
I am testing a eCommerce application where while I click on Mobile link all mobile phones are getting displayed.I want to check whether they are sorted based on name and price. So basically I need to get Name & price of all elements in the result page.
So My Question is there any way I can map html elements to java value objects ? Any API already available for doing this mapping for me ? Something similar to gson api for converting java objects to their corresponding Json representation ?

Answer 1

//Get all the mobile phones links into a list before sorting
List<WebElement> mobilelinks=driver.findElements(("locator"));
Map maps = new LinkedHashMap();//use linked hash map as it preserves the insertion order
for(int i=0;i<mobilelinks.size();i++){
//store the name and price as key value pair in map
maps.put("mobilelinks.get(i).getAttribute('name')","mobilelinks.get(i).getAttribute('price')" );
}
/*sort the map based on keys(names) store it in a separate list
sort the map based on values(prices) store it in a separate list
*/
/* Using webdriver click the sort by name and compare it with the list which we got after sorting
and also click sort by prices and compare it with the list*/
To catch an assertion and continue with the test after assertion failures override the Assertion class and create your own CustomAssertion or use SoftAssertions
CustomAssertion.java
public class CustomAssertions extends Assertion {
private Map<AssertionError, IAssert> m_errors = Maps.newLinkedHashMap();
#Override
public void executeAssert(IAssert a) {
try {
a.doAssert();
} catch(AssertionError ex) {
onAssertFailure(a, ex);
System.out.println(a.getActual());
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
m_errors.put(ex, a);
}
}
public void assertAll() {
if (! m_errors.isEmpty()) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("The following asserts failed:\n");
boolean first = true;
for (Map.Entry<AssertionError, IAssert> ae : m_errors.entrySet()) {
if (first) {
first = false;
} else {
sb.append(", ");
}
sb.append(ae.getKey().getMessage());
}
throw new AssertionError(sb.toString());
}
}
}
Instead of using Assertions class to verify the tests use CustomAssertions class
Ex:
//create an object of CustomAssertions class
CustomAssertions custom_assert=new CustomAssertions();
cust_assert.assertTrue(2<1);
cust_assert.assertEquals("test", "testing");
//and finally after finishing the test in aftersuite method call
cust_assert.assertAll();
Hope this helps you if you have any doubts kindly get back...
