This might be a trivial question/answer, however I would like to know if there is a way that I could store an element locator in a variable and then reuse it same as it while working with Selenium and Page Object Pattern.
In my previous work I used to write automation test in Visual Studio and I used Selenium Web-driver along with Page Object Pattern approach. During my work on the Page Objects and later component, I could declare all selectors by FindBy annotation and then reuse it for the purpose of future tests. I have just started my adventure with Playwright and I was wondering if I could achieve same approach. So far all examples in web showed that each time when you have an element selector you perform already an action on it.
Lets say that I have a Page Object Class called “Home Page”. On this page there is a “Submit” button. I would like to get location of this button and store in a variable so I can reuse it in the future. How can I achieve similar out which I used with FindBy annotation?
So instead of having common approach such as -> await page.click(‘button’);
I would like to have something which will look like this -> const submitButton= [location of button tag];
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
