Locators Management

TAFLEX PY uses a hierarchical JSON-based system for managing locators, allowing for clean separation and easy overrides.

Directory Structure

src/resources/locators/
├── global.json            # Application-wide locators
├── web/
│   ├── common.json        # Shared web locators
│   └── login.json         # Page-specific locators (Login)
├── api/
│   └── common.json
└── mobile/
    └── common.json

Example: login.json

{
    "username_field": "#username",
    "password_field": "#password",
    "login_button": "button[type='submit']"
}

Usage in Tests

def test_login(web_driver):
    web_driver.navigate_to('https://example.com/login')
    
    # Load page-specific locators
    web_driver.load_locators('login')

    username = web_driver.find_element('username_field')
    username.fill('myuser')

The findElement method will resolve the logical name username_field to the CSS selector #username.
