Semantic Locators in Java WebDriver

Semantic locators can be used with Selenium WebDriver in a similar way to ByXPath or ByCssSelector. Currently only available for Java 8+.

Add the following to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.semanticlocators</groupId>
  <artifactId>semantic-locators</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.0</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Once installed, use Semantic Locators as follows:

import com.google.semanticlocators.BySemanticLocator;
...

WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(new BySemanticLocator("{button 'Google search'}"));
ArrayList<WebElement> allButtons = driver.findElements(new BySemanticLocator("{button}"));

String generated = BySemanticLocator.closestPreciseLocatorFor(searchButton); // {button 'Google search'}

General Semantic Locator documentation can be found on GitHub.
