More complex personal @FindBy to personal Element type

[ansonliao]

Hi Oraz,
Thanks for your sharing sample project on how to custom personal Element type and make @FindBy is works on custom personal Element type.

As I can't find any contact information of you in GitHub, so I am paste a issue here for asking some more complex personal Element Type.

I would like custom my Element type with a description field, to store this element's description, so that I can fetch back in page action in test report, for example in ReportNG reporter.

for example:

Public class MyWebElement extends Element {
    Private String description;
    Private WebElement webElement;

    public MyWebElement(WebElement webElement) {
        this.webElement = webElement;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return this.description;
    }
}

and passed the description value to the Element

1. by a annotation, such as @Description below:

public class HomePageObjects {

    @FindBy(id = "sumbit")
    @Description("Home Page: [Submit] button")
    public MyWebElement submitButton;
}

1. by a custom @findby annotation, for example:

public class HomePageObjects {

    @MyFindBy(id = "sumbit", description = "Home Page: [Submit] button")    // this is custom @FindBy
    public MyWebElement submitButton;
}

so that can add test operation information to test report, for example, ReportNG:

public void click(MyWebElement e) {
    reporter.log("Click: " + e.getDescription());
    e.click();
}

could you provide some more guide to me to implement my expectation?

Thanks.
