In need help to resolve the "TypeError: getattr(): attribute name must be string" error

[SergeyGuschin]

Hello. I don't understand why I get the "TypeError: getattr(): attribute name must be string" error. I am trying to use POM and split pages from tests.
Here is my cs_page.py code

from pages.base_page import BasePage

class SignupPage(BasePage):
    def cookie_button(self):
        self.click(".cookies-eu-ok.js-cookies-eu-ok")

Here is my test_pom.py

from pages.base_page import BasePage
from pages.cs_page import SignupPage


class TestPom(BasePage):
    def test_pom(self):
        self.open("https://ivoryegg.co.uk/")
        sign_page = SignupPage(self)
        sign_page.cookie_button()

When I run the pytest test_pom.py I have this error.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TestPom.test_pom ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

self = <tests.test_pom.TestPom testMethod=test_pom>

    def test_pom(self):
        self.open("https://ivoryegg.co.uk/")
>       sign_page = SignupPage(self)

Looks like you're calling the object method incorrectly. Do this instead:

from seleniumbase import BaseCase
BaseCase.main(__name__, __file__)

class SignupPage():
    def click_cookie_button(self, sb):
        sb.click(".cookies-eu-ok.js-cookies-eu-ok")

class TestPom(BaseCase):
    def test_pom(self):
        self.open("https://ivoryegg.co.uk/")
        SignupPage().click_cookie_button(self)
        self.sleep(2)

For details, see Syntax Format number 5.

Thank you for your quick response. When I use your example Pycharm highlights the method and says it is static. Is it ok?

[mdmintz]

That's fine. It should still work. I wouldn't be too concerned over PyCharm warnings.

[SergeyGuschin]

Thank you!

Michael, by any chance, do you know why I don't have method suggestions when using sb instead self in Pycharm?

[mdmintz]

PyCharm can only see the methods from direct class inheritance and usage.
