C# Function that can return either of two different page objects
0
I have a function that returns a WelcomeScreen page object as follows:
public WelcomeScreen UpdateAndSubmitProfile()
{
LastNameField.Clear();
LastNameField.SendKeys("Malik");
Reporter.LogPassingTestStepToBugLogger("Update Last Name profile field, Last Name => Malik");
ProfileSubmitButton.Click();
Reporter.LogPassingTestStepToBugLogger("Click Submit button.");
return new WelcomeScreen(Driver);
}
Now, I want to access this same method but would like it to return another page object LessonPage (return new LessonPage(Driver)). Is there any way to accomplish this using the same method?
c# function selenium selenium-webdriver return-value

You can create a private method with the logic and warp it with two methods, each return a page object
private void UpdateAndSubmitProfile()
{
LastNameField.Clear();
LastNameField.SendKeys("Malik");
Reporter.LogPassingTestStepToBugLogger("Update Last Name profile field, Last Name => Malik");
ProfileSubmitButton.Click();
Reporter.LogPassingTestStepToBugLogger("Click Submit button.");
}
public WelcomeScreen UpdateAndSubmitProfileAndGoToWelcomeScreen()
{
UpdateAndSubmitProfile();
return new WelcomeScreen(Driver);
}
public LessonPage UpdateAndSubmitProfileAndGoToLessonPage()
{
UpdateAndSubmitProfile();
return new LessonPage(Driver);
}

@melleck IMHO this is the best way, and this is how I work. You can return parent class/interface, but if you need a method declared in the derived class you will have to cast the returned object.

Well if both Classes implement one interface you can change the return type of the Method to the Interface.
public Screen UpdateAndSubmitProfile()
{
LastNameField.Clear();
LastNameField.SendKeys("Malik");
Reporter.LogPassingTestStepToBugLogger("Update Last Name profile field, Last Name => Malik");
ProfileSubmitButton.Click();
Reporter.LogPassingTestStepToBugLogger("Click Submit button.");
if(...)
return new WelcomeScreen(Driver);
else
return new LessonPage(Driver);
}

Both classes extend from a BaseApplicationPage class.

Nov 14 '18 at 13:07
then you can use the base application class as well. but pulling the base class out into a interface and have them implement the interface would be best imo

You could also pass in a parameter toUpdateAndSubmitProfile()that controls thatifflow to let the method know where you intend to end up and control the return that way.
