Pomcorn

Pomcorn, or Page Object Model corn, is a Python package that contains base classes to create systems based on Selenium framework and Page Object Model pattern. You can read more about this pattern here. The package can be used to create autotesting systems, parsing scripts and anything that requires interaction with the browser.

The package includes next base classes to create Page Object Model (POM) pages:

  classDiagram
    WebView <|-- Component
    WebView <|-- Page
    Component <|-- ListComponent
    Component .. Locator
    Page .. Component

    class WebView{
        -webdriver: Webdriver
    }
    class Page{
        +wait_until_loaded()
        +open()
    }
    class Component{
        -page: Page
        -base_locator: Locator
        + wait_until_visible()
    }
    class ListComponent{
        -item_locator: Locator
        +count()
        +all()
        +get_item_by_text()
    }
    class Locator{
      -query: String
    }

It also includes classes to locate elements on the web page and a number of additional waiting conditions.

Usage

You need to install pomcorn and Chrome webdriver.

Below is the code that opens PyPI.org, searches for packages by name and prints names of found packages to the terminal. The script contains all base classes contained in pomcorn: Page, Component, ListComponent and Element.

  from typing import Self

  from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
  from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
  from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver

  from pomcorn import Component, Element, ListComponent, Page, locators


  # Prepare base page
  class PyPIPage(Page):

      APP_ROOT = "https://pypi.org"

      def check_page_is_loaded(self) -> bool:
          return self.init_element(locators.TagNameLocator("main")).is_displayed

      @property
      def search(self) -> Element[locators.XPathLocator]:
          return self.init_element(locators.IdLocator("search"))


  # Prepare components
  Package = Component[PyPIPage]


  class PackageList(ListComponent[Package, PyPIPage]):

      item_class = Package

      @property
      def base_item_locator(self) -> locators.XPathLocator:
          return self.base_locator // locators.ClassLocator("snippet__name")

      @property
      def names(self) -> list[str]:
          return [package.body.get_text() for package in self.all]


  # Prepare search page
  class SearchPage(PyPIPage):

      @classmethod
      def open(cls, webdriver: WebDriver, **kwargs) -> Self:
          pypi_page = super().open(webdriver, **kwargs)
          # Specific logic for PyPI for an open search page
          pypi_page.search.fill("")
          pypi_page.search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
          return cls(webdriver, **kwargs)

      @property
      def results(self) -> PackageList:
          return PackageList(
              page=self,
              base_locator=locators.PropertyLocator(
                  prop="aria-label",
                  value="Search results",
              ),
          )

      def find(self, query: str) -> PackageList:
          self.search.fill(query)
          self.search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
          return self.results


  search_page = SearchPage.open(webdriver=Chrome())
  print(search_page.find("saritasa").names)
