SELENIUM Automation in JAVA 
Hi Alex. I have purchased all your kindle ebooks and feel that you have one of the better contents on Automation framework design (i say automation since the same concepts can be applied to even desktop or mobile apps as well).
I had a few question on the page objects that return other page objects.
In your books, you check if the page is loaded inside the cTor of the page itself. I am finding this to be a bit limiting. In my application framework, the login page has a goToMainPage method which returns an instance of the MainPage as part of the method’s signature. However, for some users, the application may present a “FirstTimeUser” dialog which prompts the user to setup password/profiles and other sundries. This dialog may or may not be displayed depending on if this user has logged in before or not.
Lets say that i want to check if this dialog is displayed and handle it inside the LoginPage.goToMainPage method itself.
If we go with the approach of checking for the page’s existance inside the Page’s ctor itself, then i cant check if the Dialog is displayed since everytime i instantiate the dialog, if its not displayed, it will throw an error. Handling this dialog will require instantiation and then calling its “isDisplayed” method before calling other relevant methods on it. However, for consistancy sake, this will mean that all methods that return other methods will need to instantiate the target page’s class and then call the TargetPage.isDisplayed() method and throw an exception if its not displayed, which, which also seems semi ideal since now the job of determining if a page is loaded and throw an exception is the responsibility of the calling page.
I wanted to know what your thoughts on the matter are i.e. what approach do you use and generally prescribe?
