NUll Pointer Exception using getTilte(); Selenium with Java - selenium

Have two classes one Login and the other which is the TestNG class, I created variable to get the Title of the page but when trying to run the test it is displaying null pointer exception, if I remove the getTitle variable it runs.
package main;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
public class Login {
WebDriver driver ;
By userNameTextBox = By.name("email");
By passwordTestBox = By.id("password");
By loginButton = By.id("signInButton");
String titleText = driver.getTitle();
public Login(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver=driver;
}
public void setUserName() {
driver.findElement(userNameTextBox).sendKeys("v-tobias.rivera#shutterfly.com");
}
public void setPassword() {
driver.findElement(passwordTestBox).sendKeys("Indecomm1");
}
public void clickLogin() {
driver.findElement(loginButton).click();;
}
}
package test;

public class LoginTest {
WebDriver driver;
Login objLogin;
#BeforeMethod
public void beforeTest() {
System.setProperty("chromedriver", "/Users/tobiasriveramonge/eclipse-
workspaceAutomation/seleniumAutomation");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://accounts.shutterfly.com/?
redirectUri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shutterfly.com%2F&cid=&brand=SFLY&theme=SFLY");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,Duration.ofSeconds(30));
WebElement element =
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("email")));
element.isDisplayed();
}
#Test
public void Test() {
objLogin = new Login(driver);
//String title = objLogin.getTitle();
// System.out.println(title);
//Assert.assertTrue(loginPageTitle.toLowerCase().contains(" "));
objLogin.setUserName();
objLogin.setPassword();
objLogin.clickLogin();
}
#AfterTest
public void afterTest() {
driver.quit();
}
}
I would like to know why am I getting this exception.
Hi, Have two classes one Login and the other which is the TestNG class, I created variable to get the Title of the page but when trying to run the test it is displaying null pointer exception, if I remove the getTitle variable it runs.

You did not initialize the driver object.
That's why referencing to that not initialized object throws the null pointer exception.
You only declared the driver object type by
WebDriver driver;
but never initialized it.

Selenium webDriver test suite [duplicate]

I'm using Selenium and TestNG for the first time and I've been trying to search an element by its ID but I keep getting an "Cannot instantiate class" error. This is my code:
import org.testng.annotations.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;
public class NewTesting {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
#BeforeTest
public void setUp() {
driver.get("http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/chapter1");
}
#AfterTest
public void tearDown() {
driver.quit();
}
#Test
public void testExample() {
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("verifybutton"));
}
}
Maybe I missed installing something? I installed the TestNG plug-in for eclipse and added the WebDriver JAR files, do I need to do more?
I tried following multiple tutorials but I keep getting errors, I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I now have this:
public class NewTest {
private WebDriver driver;
#BeforeTest
public void setUp() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Program Files\\Selenium\\FirefoxDriver\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/chapter1");
}
#AfterTest
public void tearDown() {
driver.quit();
}
#Test
public void testExample() {
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("verifybutton"));
}
}
It does open the website now but I'm getting a nullpointer exception now:
FAILED CONFIGURATION: #AfterTest tearDown
java.lang.NullPointerException
at NewTest.tearDown(NewTest.java:21)
Replace this set of imports:
import org.testng.annotations.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;
With:
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
Additionally, you have to download the required format of GeckoDriver executable from mozilla/geckodriver, extract the binary and then initialize the FirefoxDriver.
Your effective code block will be:
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
public class NewTesting {
WebDriver driver;
#BeforeTest
public void setUp() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/chapter1");
}
#AfterTest
public void tearDown() {
driver.quit();
}
#Test
public void testExample() {
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("verifybutton"));
}
}
If you're on windows, this previous question may be some help to you.
It mentions that you can download geckodriver, and then initialize your FirefoxDriver like this:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","G:\\Selenium\\Firefox driver\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

My isssue is:
Whenn I run Testcase, The first #Test works fine. but when it goes to second #Test, where "freqcalc =homePage.clickFreqCalcPage()"is used, it tells there is no locator for Frequency Calculator, but that exist.
Also if I use "freqcalc =homePage.clickFreqCalcPage()" as last line in first #Test then it works.
So I want to understand why it does not work for second #Test.
You have to take care of a lot of things in your code as follows :
Loading the page elements even before accessing the url makes no sense. Hence first load the URL then initialize the WebElements on the Page Object.
When you initialize a Page Object get back the object in return.
driver.get(baseUrl);
Home homePage = PageFactory.initElements(driver, Home.class);
Use the returned Page Object to access it's methods.
homePage.clickRadialSelectorPage();
Avoid chaining of Page Objects i.e. initialization of another Page Object through return statement, rather initialize the required Page Object in your Test class.
//avoid
return PageFactory.initElements(driver,Radial_Selector.class);
//within Test Class
Radial_Selector radialselector = PageFactory.initElements(driver,Radial_Selector.class);
radialselector.enterboreDiameter("10");
As you are having seperate Page Objects for different pages try to define the locators e.g. xpath for the associated WebElement in the respective Page Objects only.
//avoid
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='top-navigation']/ul/li[1]/a/span"));
As you are having seperate Page Objects for different pages try to define the Page Object Methods e.g. click() for the WebElement's in the respective Page Factory only.
//avoid
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='top-navigation']/ul/li[1]/a/span")).click();
First #Test works fine because, though you try to initialize Home.class nothing really happens. When driver.get(baseUrl); gets executed the elements gets initialized and your #Test gets passed. But that's not the case with Second #Test. Hence Fails
The problem here is that, the URL is not launched in the second test when the page got initialized because it is missed in the second test.
Solution 1:
Please add the line driver.get(baseUrl) in your second test as given below.
#Test
public void Test_Freq_Calc_BrgFreqCalc_Page() throws Exception {
driver.get(baseUrl);
homePage = PageFactory.initElements(driver, Home.class);
freqcalc = homePage.clickFreqCalcPage();
}
Solution 2: Move the launch URL step to before Test method. Then remove it in first test as given below.
#BeforeTest
public void setUp() {
baseUrl = "http://10.177.2.60:8080/engcalc/";
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get(baseUrl);
}
then remove it in the first test as given below.
#Test
public void Test_RadialSelector_Page() throws Exception {
homePage = PageFactory.initElements(driver, Home.class);
// driver.get(baseUrl);
radialselector = homePage.clickRadialSelectorPage();
radialselector.enterboreDiameter("10");
radialselector.enterboreTolerance("12");
radialselector.clickcalculate();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='top-navigation']/ul/li[1]/a/span")).click();
}

In my Junit test case driver.findElement(By.cssSelector) not being executed

For the Junit Test case, I am trying to open a browser, navigate to my site and the enter an email in an field. Although all my commands are correct, I cant understand why does it specifically stops and shows error for line 33 i.e. driver.findElement(By.cssSelector)
package JUnitTesting;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
//import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class BasicActions {
WebDriver driver;
String BaseUrl;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
//System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Automation\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
BaseUrl = "https://www.flock.co/in/indexd/";
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#Test
public void test() {
driver.get(BaseUrl);
System.out.println("opening the base url");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='main-area']//input[#type='email']")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("._g-s-input>input")).sendKeys("testing#mailinator.com");
System.out.println("Entering a valid email id");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='main-area']/div[2]/div[2]//button[#class ='_g-s-button']")).click();
System.out.println("Redirecting to web.flock.co");
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
driver.quit();
}
}
Appropriate syntax to find element by css class is :
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input._g-s-input"));
I am assuming '_g-s-input' is your css class name, if not so, please replace it with appropriate css class name.

Selenium Pagefactory-I get Null pointer. WebElement is initialized. Implemented page object pattern

I'm very new to OOP and Java. I came across this excellent video of page object factory on page object pattern:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8XH46u1QAw. I tried to implement a similar code for a basic yahoo site and I get a Null pointer error. Can you please help me in troubleshooting this? I appreciate your time. My code is using testNG
Error from console:
FAILED: execute
java.lang.NullPointerException
at PageObject.SearchPage.updateSearch(SearchPage.java:16)
Code:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import PageObject.SearchPage;
public class PgMain {
WebDriver Browser;
#BeforeTest
public void start(){
Browser=new InternetExplorerDriver ();
}
#Test
public void execute(){
SearchPage s=new SearchPage(Browser);
s.navigateTo();
s.updateSearch();//This is when I get the NPE
}
#AfterTest
public void stop(){
}
}
package PageObject;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory;
public abstract class Abs {
WebDriver Browser;
public Abs(WebDriver Browser){
this.Browser=Browser;
}
public SearchPage navigateTo(){
Browser.get("http://finance.yahoo.com/");
return PageFactory.initElements(Browser, SearchPage.class);
}
}
package PageObject;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory;
public class SearchPage extends Abs {
#FindBy (id="UHSearchProperty")
private WebElement searchFinancebtn;
#FindBy (id="UHSearchBox")
private WebElement usersearchBox;
public SearchPage(WebDriver Browser){
super(Browser);
}
public SearchPage updateSearch(){
usersearchBox.sendKeys("GOOG");//NPE
searchFinancebtn.click();
return PageFactory.initElements(Browser, SearchPage.class);
}
}
you initElements only on the returned instance of SearchPage during navigateTo() call.
so for your code to work you'd have to do the following:
SearchPage s = new SearchPage(Browser);
s.navigateTo().updateSearch();
but to be honest this looks very ugly. Why not just to do the following:
WebDriver driver;
SearchPage searchPage;
#Before
public void start() {
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
searchPage = PageFactory.initElements(driver, SearchPage.class);
}
#Test
public void execute() {
s.navigateTo();
s.updateSearch();
}
Also I'd question the excellence of that video.
