I have Test base class which calls a method from LandingPage class which has the locator for the page under test. When I execute this project, I'm getting Null pointer exception. I'm sure it has something to do with testNG annotations, but I'm unable to find out the reason.
package com.xyz.tests; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite; import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest; import org.testng.annotations.Test; import com.xyz.pageObjects.LandingPage; import com.xyz.pageObjects.LoginPage; import com.xyz.utils.Utils; import engine.Engine; public class LandingPageTest { public WebDriver driver; //Engine engine = new Engine(driver); LandingPage landingPage; LoginPage loginPage; @BeforeTest public void setUp(){ driver = new FirefoxDriver(); driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.get("https://www.go.com"); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS); } @Test public void clickOnSignInLink() { landingPage.SignIn().click(); } Below is my LandingPage class
package com.xyz.pageObjects; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; public class LandingPage { private WebDriver driver; public LandingPage(WebDriver driver) { this.driver = driver; } //By signIn= By.xpath(".//*[@id='pageContainerInner']/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/a"); By signInBtn = By.linkText("Sign In or Create Account"); //By signInBtn2 = By.cssSelector("css=a.signIn"); By closeCrisisMessage = By.xpath(".//*[@id='closeCrisisMessageBtn']"); public WebElement SignIn(){ return driver.findElement(signInBtn); } } Following is the error message
