generate_page_objects_from_snapshot
Parses an XML object snapshot to generate Python page object code, automatically detecting output format based on existing patterns in the test suite.
Instructions
Generate page object references from an XML object snapshot file.
This tool:
Calls parse_object_snapshot.py to filter XML elements and generate basic definitions
Analyzes object reference patterns to understand existing style and locations
Determines output format (simple dicts vs classes/functions) based on existing patterns
Writes the generated Python code to a local temporary file and returns its path
Args:
xml_file_path: Absolute path to the XML object snapshot file
page_name: Name of the page/component these objects belong to
test_suite_path: Path to a suite_* directory.
output_directory: Existing directory where the temporary output file should be created
Note:
To generate the XML snapshot file, a testcase script has to call
saveObjectSnapshot(some_object, "snapshot_name.xml"),
where some_object is the root object of the component to capture.
In case of an empty testcase, a variation of the following can be used:
import object all_top_level_objects = object.topLevelObjects() top_level_object = all_top_level_objects[0] # change to a suitable index in case of multi-window apps. saveObjectSnapshot(top_level_object, "snapshot_name.xml")
The snapshot will be placed next to the test script that is being executed,
so the xml_file_path should be constructed accordingly.
