Selenium - Java: Is there any a way to get locator using WebElement instead of By class












0















Here is my fluentWait method which is working fine. The method consists of a couple of parameters which I have to provide whenever I call this method.



public static WebElement fluentWait(final WebDriver driver, final By locator) {
FluentWait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver)
.withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(100))
.pollingEvery(Duration.ofMillis(600))
.withMessage("Timeout occured!")
.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
return wait.until((WebDriver webDriver) -> driver.findElement(locator));

}

fluentWait(driver, By.id ("element"));


I am using page object model and I have to hardcode the locator, which is not a best practice at all. Is there any way, so I can call it using something like fluentWait(driver, PageObject.element);?
