Ivan, I'm your fan - I really like how you present material so clearly and simply.

But regarding this article, I didn’t understand what a fixture is and what the purpose of creating the files page-object-fixture.ts and test-options.ts is.

Is this some kind of variation of what Artem Bondar calls a page object manager in his course?

Hi Misha, page-object-fixture.ts purpose is to create a separate fixture for every single POM we develop. In that case, we received already prepared classes in our test. The goal of test-options.ts is to merge all custom fixtures (POMs, API, etc) in a single test fixture, which we are going to use in our tests. The setup is inspired from Murat Ozcan but I think there some tweaks to it. You can see in the next article how these custom fixtures of POMs are used in actual tests.

Hope the answer is clear enough :)

Ivan Davidov Roger, thanks a lot!

Misha You are welcome 🙏
