[Solved] Circular Dependency in classes and StackOverflow Error

by


Your problem is that when you create a HomePage it creates a new LoginPage and whenever you create a LoginPage you create a HomePage. This will clearly result in a never ending (until the stack overflows) cycle.

To solve the problem, do not create the pages during construction. Make setters for them

private static class AppiumBasePage {

    public AppiumBasePage() {
    }
}

public class HomePage extends AppiumBasePage {

    LoginPage loginPage;

    public void setLoginPage(LoginPage loginPage) {
        this.loginPage = loginPage;
    }

}

public class LoginPage extends AppiumBasePage {

    HomePage homePage;

    public void setHomePage(HomePage homePage) {
        this.homePage = homePage;
    }


}

public void test() {
    LoginPage login = new LoginPage();
    HomePage home = new HomePage();
    login.setHomePage(home);
    home.setLoginPage(login);
}

Alternatively you could remove the interdependency entirely by introducing a new class to maintain that.

public class HomePage extends AppiumBasePage {

}

public class LoginPage extends AppiumBasePage {
}

class Pages {

    AppiumBasePage login = new LoginPage();
    AppiumBasePage home = new HomePage();
}

It all depends on what you need to achieve.
