Smart Selenium

When working with Selenium, it's common to run into these unbearable problems:

• WebElement#click throws ElementClickInterceptedException for no apparent reason.
• It's impossible to keep elements in memory because they're tied to the current page - causing StaleElementReferenceException.

While some can be resolved using a util class, others require an ugly architectural refactor on your end.
This library ends the misery by changing 1 line of your code.

Usage

All you need to do is create your WebDriver like this:

WebDriverdriver = WebDriverFactory.smartify(yourWebDriver);

and suddenly this is possible:

driver.get("www.website.com");
WebElementelement = driver.findElement(someLocator);
driver.get("www.anotherWebsite.com");
//without the library -> throws StaleElementReferenceExceptionSystem.out.println(element.getText());

Behind the scenes

The library wraps WebDriver methods that produce WebElement objects with smart wrappers - so your code doesn't change!
The elements package contains the juice.
