Hi, I had been working on a small feature for Visual Editor :Long external target links being shortened Bug-63104
I had certain queries related to the page objects definition. Certain elements like span which have been defined as below in visualeditor_page.rb span(:linksuggestion, text: "http://www.example.com";) same for: span(:newpage_linksuggestion, text: "DoesNotExist") I was wondering if suppose I want to reuse these elements ,would I have to define a separate element since identification is by text and changing text might cause the other existing tests to fail. But wouldn't adding another element lead to redundancy. Also,would identifying the element by xpath help instead of by text? probably then we could reuse the element. I know css identification is not supported for certain types but I checked the documentation on cheezy/pageobjects. xpath seemed to be supported. I was wondering if there is a workaround for this or is it advisable to add a separate element for my test and identifying by text. Thanks, Jagori
