I am facing an issue with NullPointerException. I tried as much as possible but I'm unable to resolve this. I am implementing a POM model(Selenium) for my project.
The page:
public class VendorsHomePageApp
{
WebDriver driver;
public VendorsHomePageApp(WebDriver driver)
{
this.driver=driver;
}
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using=".//*[@id='navbarCollapse']/ul[1]/li[1]/a")
WebElement dashboardTab;
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using=".//*[@id='navbarCollapse']/ul[1]/li[2]/a")
WebElement tendersTab;
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using=".//*[@id='navbarCollapse']/ul[1]/li[3]/a")
WebElement notificationsTab;
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using=".//*[@id='navbarCollapse']/ul[1]/li[4]/a")
WebElement profileTab;
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using=".//*[@id='navbarCollapse']/ul[2]/li/a")
WebElement vendorName;
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using=".//*[@id='navbarCollapse']/ul[2]/li/ul/li[1]/a")
WebElement vendorHelp;
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using=".//*[@id='navbarCollapse']/ul[2]/li/ul/li[3]/a")
WebElement vendorSignOut;
@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using="html/body/section/div/div/div/div[2]/div/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/a")

@FindBy(how=How.XPATH,using="html/body/section/div/div/div/div[2]/div/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[1]/a")

TestClass:

Any help?
You need to initialize your WebDriver first. As I seeing you are creating the reference of WebDriver but not initialized, try as below :-
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(); //or other driver which you want
Note :- If you want to initialize ChromeDriver you need to download chromedriver and set system property before initialize driver as :-
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
So details answer like as below :-
public class VendorsHomePageTest
{
public WebDriver driver;
@Test
public void verifyVendorsHomePageTest() throws Exception
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
driver = new ChromeDriver(); //or other driver which you want
LoginIntoVendors login=PageFactory.initElements(driver, LoginIntoVendors.class);
login.verifyLoginVendors();
VendorsHomePageApp vhpapp= PageFactory.initElements(driver, VendorsHomePageApp.class);
//driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Thread.sleep(3000);
vhpapp.clickOnNotificationsTab();
vhpapp.clickOnProfileTab();
vhpapp.clickOnTendersTab();
vhpapp.clickOnDashboardTab();
vhpapp.clickOnFirstTender();
}
}
Edited :- You need to create separate class which gives you WebDriver instance as below :-
public class DriverInit {
public WebDriver driver;
private static DriverInit driverInit = null;
public static DriverInit getInstance() {
if (driverInit == null) {
driverInit = new DriverInit();
}
return driverInit;
}
private DriverInit() {
this.driver = new FirefoxDriver();
this.driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
this.driver.get("******");
}
public WebDriver getDriver() {
return this.driver;
}
now you can call it into LoginIntoVendors as below :-
public class LoginIntoVendors
{
@Test
public void verifyLoginVendors() throws Exception
{
WebDriver driver = DriverInit.getInstance().getDriver();
IntiationPage vendorInit=PageFactory.initElements(driver, IntiationPage.class);
vendorInit.clickOnLoginButton();
VendorsLoginAction Loginven=PageFactory.initElements(driver, VendorsLoginAction.class);
Loginven.vendorlogin("***","***@gmail.com", "****");
String title = driver.getTitle();
System.out.println("Title is :" + title );
}
}
and in the VendorsHomePageTest as below :-
public class VendorsHomePageTest
{
public WebDriver driver;
@Test
public void verifyVendorsHomePageTest() throws Exception
{
driver = DriverInit.getInstance().getDriver();
LoginIntoVendors login=PageFactory.initElements(driver, LoginIntoVendors.class);
login.verifyLoginVendors();
VendorsHomePageApp vhpapp= PageFactory.initElements(driver, VendorsHomePageApp.class);
//driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Thread.sleep(3000);
vhpapp.clickOnNotificationsTab();
vhpapp.clickOnProfileTab();
vhpapp.clickOnTendersTab();
vhpapp.clickOnDashboardTab();
vhpapp.clickOnFirstTender();
}
}
Hope it helps..:)
