Picocontainer library in cucumber framework

 PicoContainer is a lightweight, open-source dependency injection container for Java. Like other dependency injection containers, PicoContainer helps manage the dependencies between components in your application. It allows you to define how different parts of your application are connected and then automatically resolves these dependencies at runtime.

With PicoContainer, you can define components (objects) and their dependencies, and then let the container handle the creation and wiring of these components. This makes your code more modular and easier to maintain, as you can change dependencies without modifying the classes themselves. PicoContainer is known for its simplicity and small footprint, making it suitable for small to medium-sized projects.

Certainly! Here's an example of how PicoContainer can be used with Selenium for dependency injection in a test automation scenario:

```java

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.picocontainer.DefaultPicoContainer;

import org.picocontainer.MutablePicoContainer;

public class SeleniumTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        MutablePicoContainer container = new DefaultPicoContainer();

        

        // Register WebDriver in the container

        container.addComponent(WebDriver.class, new ChromeDriver());

        

        // Register PageObject class

        container.addComponent(LoginPage.class);

        

        // Obtain an instance of the PageObject class from the container

        LoginPage loginPage = container.getComponent(LoginPage.class);

        

        // Use the PageObject in the test

        loginPage.open();

        loginPage.login("username", "password");

    }

}

class LoginPage {

    private WebDriver driver;

    

    public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {

        this.driver = driver;

    }

    

    public void open() {

        driver.get("https://www.example.com/login");

    }

    

    public void login(String username, String password) {

        // Find and interact with login elements using the WebDriver

        driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys(username);

        driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);

        driver.findElement(By.id("loginButton")).click();

    }

}

```

In this example, we are using PicoContainer to manage the WebDriver dependency in the `LoginPage` class. 

We register the WebDriver instance (in this case, a ChromeDriver) in the container, and then obtain an instance of the 

`LoginPage` class from the container. The `LoginPage` class depends on the WebDriver, and PicoContainer takes care of inje

cting this dependency when creating an instance of the `LoginPage` class. This approach promotes a cleaner and more maintainable

 codebase and allows for easy integration of the Selenium WebDriver with the Page Object pattern.
