How to define actions in page object modeling - selenium-webdriver

Question

I am newbee to selenium. I was trying to access menu->sub-menu in PageObject Modeling.
My requirement is to click on Menu item and sub-menu item which appears dynamically.
I was going through StackOverflow and in one of the resolutions it was mentioned to write Actions as
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(currentOpenings).build().perform();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(ausJobsSubmenu));
However i can't pass driver in constructor. if I pass constructor i am getting problem while running this script. The error is below
FAILED: checkLinks java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method HomePageLinksClick(WebDriver) in the type HomePageLinksTest is not applicable for the arguments ()
If I include WebDriver driver in constructor as a parameter, my page class is not accepting that as parameter. Can anyone help?
Page Class
package au.com.sreetechconsulting.Pages;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import au.com.sreetechconsulting.TestCases.HomePageLinksTest;
public class HomePage {
public WebDriver driver;
#BeforeTest
public void openBrowser() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://www.sreetechconsulting.com.au/");
}
#Test
public void checkLinks() {
HomePageLinksTest linkClick = new HomePageLinksTest(driver);
linkClick.HomePageLinksClick();
}
}
Test Page Class

private WebElement currentOpenings;
#FindBy(css="#header > div.container > div > div.col-md-9.main-nav > nav > ul > li:nth-child(2) > ul > li:nth-child(1) > a")
private WebElement ausJobsSubmenu;
public HomePageLinksTest (WebDriver driver) {
PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
}
public void HomePageLinksClick() {
//currentOpenings.click();
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(currentOpenings).build().perform();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(ausJobsSubmenu));
}
}

Answer 1

You can keep the driver as a class member from the constructor
public class HomePageLinksTest {
private WebDriver driver;
public HomePageLinksTest (WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
}
public void HomePageLinksClick() {
//currentOpenings.click();
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(currentOpenings).build().perform();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(ausJobsSubmenu));
}
}
And in the test use it like this
#Test
public void checkLinks() {
HomePageLinksTest linkClick = new HomePageLinksTest(driver);
linkClick.HomePageLinksClick();
}
