Question 1

How do I generate a page object in Ember CLI?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'ember generate page-object [name]' command, which creates a file in tests/pages/ based on the blueprints provided in the README. This streamlines setup for new page objects.

Question 2

Ember CLI Page Object vs using plain QUnit selectors?

Accepted Answer

Ember CLI Page Object adds a structured abstraction layer that reduces boilerplate and improves maintainability for complex tests, but it introduces more overhead compared to direct selector usage in simpler scenarios.

Question 3

Can I use Ember CLI Page Object with Ember Octane?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's compatible with Ember.js v3.16 or above, which includes Octane editions. Check the compatibility section in the README to ensure version alignment for your project.

Question 4

How to handle asynchronous actions in page objects?

Accepted Answer

The addon integrates with Ember's testing helpers for async behavior; refer to the documentation for examples on using waitFor or similar patterns within page object methods.

Question 5

Is Ember CLI Page Object good for component testing?

Accepted Answer

It's optimized for acceptance and integration tests, but can be adapted for component tests. For isolated component testing, Ember's native tools like @ember/test-helpers might be more straightforward.

Question 6

What are the alternatives to Ember CLI Page Object?

Accepted Answer

Alternatives include using ember-test-selectors for simpler selector management or building custom abstractions. Ember CLI Page Object is best for teams wanting a full Page Object pattern implementation within Ember.
