Pom Generator

POM Generator Skill

Automatically generate Page Object Model classes by analyzing live web pages using Playwright MCP.

When to Use

• Creating a new Page Object for a web page
• Analyzing page elements to identify selectors
• Generating POM code following best practices
• Setting up POM structure for a new project

Workflow

Step 1: Navigate to Page

Use Playwright MCP to navigate to the target URL:

mcp__playwright__playwright_navigate(url: "https://example.com/login")

Step 2: Capture Page State

Take a screenshot and get HTML for analysis:

mcp__playwright__playwright_screenshot(name: "page_analysis", fullPage: true)
mcp__playwright__playwright_get_visible_html(cleanHtml: true, removeStyles: true)

Step 3: Analyze Elements

Identify interactive elements from HTML:

Step 4: Generate Code

1. Check for BasePage - If project doesn't have BasePage, create it first (see base-page-template.md)
2. Generate Page Object - Create class extending BasePage with:
   • Selectors object (private readonly)
   • Navigation method
   • Form filling methods
   • Action methods
   • Validation methods

Step 5: Close Browser

mcp__playwright__playwright_close()

Code Generation Rules

Naming Conventions

Selector Priority

Choose selectors in this order (see selector-strategies.md):

1. ID - #username (most stable)
2. data-testid - [data-testid="username"]
3. name - [name="username"]
4. aria-label - [aria-label="Username"]
5. Dual selector - #username, [name="username"] (fallback)

Method Categories

Generate methods based on element types (see pom-patterns.md):

// Navigation
async navigate(): Promise<void>

// Form filling (individual)
async fillUsername(value: string): Promise<void>
async fillPassword(value: string): Promise<void>

// Form filling (combined)
async fillCredentials(credentials: {...}): Promise<void>

// Actions
async clickSubmit(): Promise<void>
async clickForgotPassword(): Promise<void>

// Validation
async getErrorMessage(): Promise<string>
async isLoggedIn(): Promise<boolean>

Wait Strategies

Always include proper waits:

// After navigation
await this.page.waitForLoadState('domcontentloaded');

// After form submit
await this.page.waitForLoadState('networkidle', { timeout: 30000 });

// For element visibility
await locator.waitFor({ state: 'visible', timeout: 5000 });

Output Template

BasePage (if needed)

See base-page-template.md for full implementation.

Page Object Template

import { Page } from 'playwright';
import { BasePage } from './BasePage';

export class [PageName]Page extends BasePage {
    private readonly selectors = {
        // Form inputs
        inputName: '#selector',
        // Buttons
        buttonName: '#selector',
        // Feedback
        errorMessage: '#selector',
    };

    constructor(
        page: Page,
        private readonly baseUrl: string = 'https://example.com',
    ) {
        super(page);
    }

    // Navigation
    async navigate(): Promise<void> {
        await super.navigate(`${this.baseUrl}/path`);
        await this.page.waitForLoadState('domcontentloaded');
    }

    // Form Methods
    async fillField(value: string): Promise<void> {
        await this.page.fill(this.selectors.inputName, value);
    }

    // Actions
    async clickButton(): Promise<void> {
        await this.page.click(this.selectors.buttonName);
        await this.page.waitForLoadState('networkidle', { timeout: 30000 });
    }

    // Validation
    async getErrorMessage(): Promise<string> {
        const locator = this.page.locator(this.selectors.errorMessage);
        try {
            await locator.waitFor({ state: 'visible', timeout: 5000 });
            return (await locator.textContent())?.trim() || '';
        } catch {
            return '';
        }
    }
}

Usage Examples

Example 1: Generate Login Page POM

User: Tạo POM cho trang https://example.com/login

Assistant:
1. Navigate đến trang sử dụng Playwright MCP
2. Chụp screenshot và phân tích HTML
3. Xác định elements: inputs, buttons, forms
4. Generate POM class với selectors và methods phù hợp

Example 2: Setup POM cho project mới

User: Setup Page Object Model structure cho project mới

Assistant:
1. Tạo BasePage class (nếu chưa có)
2. Hỏi user về pages cần tạo
3. Generate từng Page Object theo workflow
