support for the test.ai ML element locator

In order to make use of this utility we have to :

• An option to pass the API key to the driver which can read from the config file
  driver = test_ai.TestAIDriver(driver, “API_KEY”)

• An extra field for each element to pass a unique name along with the locator
  driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input.countrycode", element_name='elem_country_code')

I could take this, as soon as the test.ai java library for this is released.

@ricardorlg Here's the some useful links shared by test.ai

Java Selenium SDK & Demo project

I shared this ticket details with Chris and his team at test.ai for a better collaboration.

Hi thanks, I was checking the SDK and demo, it looks to me that initially, I will add support for Screenplay, @wakaleo can u assign me this, as far as I see, the most complex part will be to allow Target resolver strategy to use the custom driver provided by test.ai

[rakeshnambiar]

@wakaleo @ricardorlg Please can we make some progress with this?

[wakaleo]

@rakeshnambiar there is no SLA for open source bug fixes, or even any guarantee that a particular ticket will be addressed (remember, you are asking folk to volunteer their personal and family time to do work for you). If this feature is important to you, and you would like it to progress faster, you have a few options:

1. You can do the work yourself (or pay someone to do it for you) and raise a pull request;
2. You can get your company to purchase a commercial support package (there are several options available that I can provide you with offline if you would like to explore this option)
3. Alternatively, since this is integration with a commercial product, you could ask the vendor (test.ai) to sponsor this work.

I'm working on this in my free time, I don't have an estimated time to finish, It will be ready when it's ready.

[rakeshnambiar]

Hi @wakaleo @ricardorlg thanks for letting me know the situation. I have also asked the test.ai in case they are willing with option#3. Considering @ricardorlg already working on it in parallel, better I will wait.

[rakeshnambiar]

@ricardorlg I knew you are busy with many things and appreciate your efforts. Just wanted to follow-up with the latest status of this request.

[wakaleo]

If test.ai would like to implement an integration, or fund some work (through either commercial support package or sponsoring for example), that would probably be the fastest way to get this feature implemented.

@cnavrides @alexander-wu-aw Please could you able to help with it?

[cnavrides]

@rakeshnambiar yes we can add an item to our board to look into this integration

[rakeshnambiar]

@cnavrides Thanks a lot for your support. I created the issue here dev-tools-ai/java-selenium-sdk#1 Let me know in case there's a separate board available to log such requests.
