Question

I got warning message in Visual Studio 2010 : “Field is never assigned”.
I use Webdriver PageFactory that assigned field in runtime, how can i suppress this message?

here is sample of code:

public class VideoInfo
    {
        [FindsBy(How = How.ClassName, Using = "detailsTitle")] 
        private IWebElement _videoInfoDetailsTitle; //Here is got the warning message

        public VideoInfo(IWebDriver webDriver)
        {
            PageFactory.InitElements(webDriver, this); //Assigen the field
        }
     }

Answer 1

Since there’s some voodoo going on that the compiler can’t detect; you can just ignore the warning. However, it’s perhaps better to initialise the field explicitly:

[FindsBy(How = How.ClassName, Using = "detailsTitle")]  
private IWebElement _videoInfoDetailsTitle = null;
