Is it possible to get instance of driver inside HtmlBlock in HtmlElements?

Take a look at this code snippet:

@Name("Search form")@FindBy(xpath = "//form[@class='f1']")public class SearchArrow extends Test1 {    public WebDriver driver;}public class SearchPage {    @FindBy(xpath = "//form[@class='f1']")        private SearchArrow searchArrow;    public SearchPage(WebDriver driver) {        HtmlElementLoader.populatePageObject(this, driver);        searchArrow.driver = driver;    }}

As I understand you. You need WebDriver in you page block class, not in Page class.

Simple way, but not elegant, is create a static variable and save WebDriver instance in it, to get the ability use WebDriver in any placein your code.

Addition I guess you instance Pages in your test and in page constructor you call

    HtmlElementLoader.populatePageObject(this, driver);

But I think you may try to init your block manualy.

class Page {    @FindBy(...)    HtmlBlock block;   public Page(){       HtmlElementLoader.populatePageObject(this, driver);       this.block = new HtmlBlock(driver);   }}

And in HtmlBlock create constructor that save WebDriver to local field.

public HtmlBlock(WebDriver driver){    this.driver = driver;    HtmlElementLoader.populatePageObject(this, driver);}

I am not sure in second variant, but something like this should work.
