Nightwatch page object elements from step definitions about nightwatch-cucumber

[sharathkonda]

Thanks Igor,

Was able to sort out the page objects after sending the email by referring,
var pageObject = this.page.pageObjectFile()
Some reason was only able to refer to the elements by pageObject.elements.elementName.selector
but not by @elementName from past two days.

---

step definition file:

---

var home = this.page.home();

    this.assert.visible(home.elements.username.selector);

home.login(centreData.CO.username, centreData.CO.password);
this.page.common().waitForLoaderToDisappear();

---

Page Object:

---

var page = {

// page elements (allows @elementkey in tests)
elements : {
    username    : { selector: 'input[id=usn]' },
    password    : { selector: 'input[id=pass]' },
    submit      : { selector: 'input[type=submit]' }
},

// functions to be exposes via the page object via this.page.scriptname().functionname()
functions: {

    login: function(username, password){

        var common = this.api.page.common();

        // always return runtime as this allows chaining within the step methods  
        return common.waitForLoaderToDisappear()
                    .setValue(page.elements.username.selector, username)
                    .setValue(page.elements.password.selector, password)
                    .click(page.elements.submit.selector)
                    .waitForElementVisible(common.elements.logout.selector, 5000);
    }
}

};

// export in a format nightwatch understands
module.exports = {

// commands are exposed within step definition mehtod via this.page.home().functionName  
commands: [page.functions],

// elements selectors allow step definition to use @attributeName to action a selector rather
// than hard coding selectors. For example this.setValue('@username','random-user'); 
elements: page.elements

};

So if I am understanding you correctly the following code snippet is not working for you?

this.page.home().assert.visible('@username');

Regarding

this.page.home().assert.visible('@username');

Its working, I was using this.assert.visible...rather than the
page_object.assert, hence the issue.

Cheers
