AnnotationResolver

AnnotationResolver<T> resolves methods annotated with @Paramixel.Id into named Step actions.

import org.paramixel.api.AnnotationResolver;
import org.paramixel.api.Paramixel;

final class Fixture {
    @Paramixel.Id("open")
    public void open() {}

    @Paramixel.Id("reset")
    public static void reset() {}
}

var resolver = AnnotationResolver.create(Fixture.class);
var open = resolver.byId("open");     // returns Action (Step)
var reset = resolver.staticById("reset");  // returns Action (Step)

Signature rules

Resolved methods must be public, accept no arguments, and return void. Instance and static methods are resolved independently. IDs must be unique within the visible class hierarchy for the selected resolution kind.

Usage with Instance

import org.paramixel.api.action.Action;
import static org.paramixel.api.action.Instance.instance;
import static org.paramixel.api.action.Step.step;

var resolver = AnnotationResolver.create(LoginFixture.class);

Action fixture = instance(LoginFixture.class)
        .body(step("login", ctx -> {
            ctx.requireInstance(LoginFixture.class).open();
            ctx.requireInstance(LoginFixture.class).submit();
        }))
        .build();

Resolved methods are cached per class. Use AnnotationResolver.clearCache(type) or AnnotationResolver.clearAllCache() when tests dynamically change resolution context.
