My questions : 1. I’ve created an object (@@googlehomepageobject =
ShaikHomePage.new())of class ShaikHomePage in hooks.rb, how am I able to
create the object without requiring the file shaik_home_page.rb in which
the class is defined?
2. How am I able to use the object created (@@googlehomepageobject =
ShaikHomePage.new()) in hooks.rb in all other files like example_steps
and example2_steps.rb without requiring either hooks.rb or
shaik_home_page.rb files.
Without requiring I’m able to run the Cucumber scenarios successfully,
could somebody help me understand this happens?
Thanks,
