I'm trying to avoid using a switch-case to verify the locator and then creating an element.
This is how my code looks like:
switch (name.by) {
case "class":
return element(by.className(name.value));
case "cssselector":
return element(by.cssSelector(name.value));
case "id":
return element(by.id(name.value));
case "linktext":
return element(by.linkText(name.value));
case "name":
return element(by.name(name.value));
case "partiallinktext":
return element(by.partialLinkText(name.value));
case "tagname":
return element(by.tagName(name.value));;
case "xpath":
return element(by.xpath(name.value));;
default:
throw new Error ('Invalid option.');
}
It receives as a param a json structure like this:
"rangeFrom": {
"by": "id",
"value": "txtRentFrom"
},
I'm looking for something like:
element(by[name.by](name.value));
Does anyone know if there's a way to avoid using switch-case?
const dict = {
"class": by.classname,
"cssselector": by.cssSelector
...
}
return element(dict[name.by](name.value));
