What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?

Closed 4 years ago.
I am getting Java Null Pointer Exception when trying to run the below code. The test gets failed before the Web page even loads completely.
I have increased the page load timeout and Implicit wait time, but still that didn't work. The same web page is getting loaded within 4 seconds when directly launched through browser. Please find the below code:
//Loginpagetest.java
Loginpage loginpage = new Loginpage();
public LoginPageTest() throws IOException {
super();
}
#BeforeMethod
public void setup(){
initialize();
}
#Test(priority=1)
public void loginPageTitleTest(){
String actualTitle = loginpage.validateLoginPageTitle();
String expectedTitle = "#1 Free CRM software in the cloud for sales and service";
Assert.assertEquals(actualTitle,expectedTitle);
}
//TestBase.java
public void initialize(){
String browsername = prop.getProperty("browser");
if(browsername.equals("chrome")){
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\Pranaykumar\\Downloads\\"chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
}else if(browsername.equals("mozilla")){
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","E:\\geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
driver.manage().window().maximize();
//driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(40, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get(prop.getProperty("url"));
}
//Loginpage.java
public String validateLoginPageTitle(){
return driver.getTitle();
}
//Console

Answer 1

The likely scenario is that you are creating a new instance of the driver inside your Loginpage page object instead of passing the existing instance so it's not initialized... thus the NPE.

Answer 2

Looks like this is not timeout issue, It’s showing NullPointerException. Maybe driver is null.
Check your chrome driver path is correct or not.
‘FAILED: loginPageTitleTest
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.crm.qa.pages.Loginpage.validateLoginPageTitle(Loginpage.java:37)’
If it’s timeout issue, you should get TimeoutExcepton.

Answer 3

Can you please try to wait explicitly for an specific object in initialize() function and after the driver.get(prop.getProperty("url")) line as below code :
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id(objectShouldPresent)));

Answer 4

Kindly remove double quotes(") before chromedriver_win32
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\Pranaykumar\\Downloads\\"chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
