create-playwright-page-objects

Read @.ai/Component/Playwright/CONTEXT.md for the POM pattern and ui-testing-library architecture.

Page objects live in the ui-testing-library, not in the core repo.

1. Listing page object

Create bo{Domain}Page (extends the appropriate BO base page):

  • Selectors: grid table, filter inputs, bulk action checkboxes, row action buttons, toggle switches, pagination
  • Methods: all return values, never assert
    • getNumberOfElementInGrid(page): Promise<number>
    • filterTable(page, filterBy, value): Promise<void>
    • resetAndGetNumberOfLines(page): Promise<number>
    • getTextColumn(page, row, column): Promise<string>
    • goToAddNewPage(page): Promise<void>
    • goToEditPage(page, row): Promise<void>
    • deleteRow(page, row): Promise<string> — returns alert text
    • bulkAction(page, action): Promise<string> — returns alert text
    • getToggleColumnValue(page, row): Promise<boolean>
    • setToggleColumnValue(page, row, value): Promise<string>

Selector naming: {name}{Type} camelCase — e.g. gridTable, filterNameInput, bulkActionDropdownButton, confirmDeleteButton

2. Create/Edit page object

Create bo{Domain}CreatePage (extends BO base page):

  • Selectors: form inputs, dropdowns, file uploads, save button, tab navigation (if tabs)
  • Methods:
    • createEdit{Domain}(page, data): Promise<string> — fills all fields, clicks save, returns alert text
    • getPageTitle(page): Promise<string>
    • getValue(page, inputName): Promise<string> — for verification after reload
  • Properties:
    • pageTitleCreate: string — expected page title for create mode
    • pageTitleEdit: string — expected page title for edit mode
    • successfulCreationMessage: string
    • successfulUpdateMessage: string

3. Conventions

See Playwright/CONTEXT.md for POM conventions (never assert, selector naming, inheritance, library location). Skill-specific reminders:

  • One page object per distinct BO page (listing page, create/edit page)
  • Prefer data-test attribute selectors when available over CSS classes
  • Check if page objects already exist before creating new ones
  • Sort interface / page-object members alphabetically — this is an expected convention in the ui-testing-library
  • Expose expected messages and selectors here, not in the campaign — message strings (success/error) belong as properties on the page object so campaigns assert against them; never hard-code message text in the core campaign
  • Stay compatible with older branches (≥ 9.1.x) — a change must not crash the library on lower versions; branch on version when the DOM differs rather than assuming the latest

Reference: check existing page objects in the ui-testing-library for the exact inheritance pattern and method signatures.
