Summary

Selenium Page Object Generator is an essential tool to improve your workflow. It will generate Page Object Model on active Chrome tab with a single click, provided that all the options and template are configured. The generated Page Object Model will be saved to pre-configured Chrome download folder. It strives to reduce manual involvement, but manual tweak still recommended.

The template is using Handlebars.js expression, a clean logic-less semantic templating language.

This is an early BETA release, it expected to have rough edges, and limited functionality. It currently support 3 different targets: Java, C#, and Robot Framework.

A good idea to assist selenium automation in POM.

You have to keep the Filename short, then the download will start automatically. A lot of people, including me, were confused because there is no explanation on where to find the downloaded java file. It always says it downloaded a java file even though it doesnt. The quality of the generated file is as accurate as you might expect from an automatic generator but its still useful.

takes less time to write a PO from scratch than it does to modify the ones generated with this extension
