Cannot invoke By not finding elements on the webpage

Im writing a selenium project from scratch using the PageObject.
The below code is failing because the selenium webdriver is not finding elements on the webpage .
This is the error i get :
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.openqa.selenium.SearchContext.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By)" because "this.searchContext" is null
DriverBase.java :
In this class i setup the driver

public void performLogin () {
//WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
final String username = prop.getProperty("USERNAME");
final String password = prop.getProperty("PASSWORD");
System.out.println(username);
//wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(this.usernameTextBox));
usernameTextBox.clear();
passwordTextBox.clear();
usernameTextBox.sendKeys(username);
passwordTextBox.sendKeys(password);
submitButton.click();
//wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(this.tokenTextBox));
}
}
LoginPageTests.java :
In this class i write tests and i call methods from LoginPage.java Class
package com.EbankingA11y.testcases;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;

import com.EbankingA11y.pages.LoginPage;
public class LoginPageTest extends DriverBase {
public LoginPageTest() throws IOException {
super();
}
LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage();
#BeforeTest
public void setup() throws InterruptedException {
initialization();
}
#Test
public void login() {
loginPage.performLogin();
}
}

I found that i have to declare the pages in the before methods after the initilisation ()
public class LoginPageTest extends DriverBase {
public LoginPageTest() throws IOException {
super();
}
// here
LoginPage loginPage;
TokenPage tokenPage;
#BeforeTest
public void setup() throws InterruptedException {
initialization();
//here
loginPage = new LoginPage();
tokenPage = new TokenPage();
}
#Test
public void login() {
tokenPage = loginPage.performLogin();
}
}
This is just worked for me

Cucumber-POM hybrid framework implementation issues

I first created a POM model framework for a test practice with LOG4J, listners for Screenshots.
Later tried to add Cucumber BDD framework also into the same framework. I'm able to run the tests as expected, but facing two issues:
POM Framework initial tests are able to take Screenshots, but BDD test fails with Null pointer exception, unable to get the driver object from the Methods.
Logs not getting printed for BDD tests while works fine with POM tests.

Selenium Java - java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property

My FireFox Version 49.0.1
Selenium Version: Selenium-java-3.0.0-beta3
Java: 8.0.1010.13
I have replaced all the existing Selenium Jar Files with the new files. Added the gecko.Driver to my code still I am seeing this message:
Error Message:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property;
My Code:
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.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class AbstractPage {
WebDriver Driver =new FirefoxDriver();
#Before
public void Homescreen() throws InterruptedException
{
System.getProperty("Webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:/geckodriver.exe");
System.setProperty("Webdriver.firefox.bin", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe");
Driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Driver.get("URL");
Driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#After
public void TestComplete() {
Driver.close();
}
#Test
public void Projects() {
Driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-username")).sendKeys("Login");
Driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-password")).sendKeys("Password");
Driver.findElement(By.id("quickSearchInput")).sendKeys("ID");
}
}

You can remove main() method from the code. unzip your gecko driver and save it to your local system with wires.exe.
my sample class path is
G:\ravik\Ravi-Training\Selenium\Marionette for firefox\wires.exe
public class AbstractPage
{
WebDriver Driver;
System.setProperty("WebDriver.gecko.Driver", "C:\\TEMP\\Temp1_geckodriver-v0.10.0-win64.zip");
Driver=new FirefoxDriver();
#Before
public void Homescreen() throws InterruptedException
{
Driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Driver.get("https://QualityAssurance.com");
Driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-username")).sendKeys("Login");
Driver.findElement(By.id("login-form-password")).sendKeys("Password");
//JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) Driver;
//js.executeScript("document.getElementById('login-form-password').setAttribute('value', val );");
}
#After
public void TestComplete() {
Driver.close();
}
#Test
public void Projects() {
Driver.findElement(By.id("quickSearchInput")).sendKeys("WMSSE-229");

Please replace below line
System.setProperty("WebDriver.gecko.Driver", C:\\TEMP\\Temp1_geckodriver-v0.10.0-win64.zip");
You should pass geckodriver.exe not Zip file.
String driverPath = "F:/Sample/Selenium3Example/Resources/";
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette", driverPath+"geckodriver.exe");
You can make your code more cleaner when posting here.

You must do something like this:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:/geckodriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe");
This is a working example, it make you know the context what the above code snippet used

How to upload Multiple files in selenium?

I'm trying to use following code :-
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='attach0']")).sendKeys("first path"+"\n"+"second path""+"\n"third path");
I didn't get result.

you can use AutoIT or JAVA code. Below i have used both for your reference. Try anyone of them
import java.io.IOException;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class AutoITforUpload {
private static WebDriver driver;
private static WebDriverWait waitForElement;
#FindBy(css = "span.btn.btn-success.fileinput-button")
private WebElement Add_files_btn;
#BeforeClass
public static void setUp() {
DesiredCapabilities desicap = new DesiredCapabilities();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:/WorkSpace/Driver/chromedriver.exe");
desicap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
driver = new ChromeDriver(desicap);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/");
waitForElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
}
#Test
public void AutoitUpload() {
// String filepath =
// "D:/Mine/GitHub/BasicProgramLearn/AutoItScript/unnamed.png";
WebElement btn = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span.btn.btn-success.fileinput-button"));
String file_dir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
String cmd = file_dir + "\\AutoItScript\\unnamed.png";
System.out.println("File directory is " + file_dir);
try {
// Using ordinary
Thread.sleep(3000);
for(int i=0;i<3;i++) //multiple times upload ;
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='fileupload']/div/div[1]/span[1]/input")).sendKeys(cmd);
//use any String Array for multiple files
waitForElement(btn);
btn.click();
Thread.sleep(3000);
System.out.println(file_dir + "/AutoItScript/FileUploadCode.exe");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(file_dir + "\\AutoItScript\\ChromeFileUpload.exe" + " " + cmd);
} catch (InterruptedException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#AfterClass
public static void TearDown() {
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver.quit();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void waitForElement(WebElement vElement) {
waitForElement.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(vElement));
}
}
The code in AutoIt is
#include<IE.au3>
If $CmdLine[0] < 2 Then
$window_name="Open"
WinWait($window_name)
ControlFocus($window_name,"","Edit1")
ControlSetText($window_name,"","Edit1",$CmdLine[1])
ControlClick($window_name,"","Button1")
EndIf
Hope this gives you an idea

Is there a way to use testNG with WebDriver so as to do data driven testing?

I have successfully created a data driven framework with selenium 1 and trying to do the same using selenium 2 (WebDriver). I was doing some basic R and D. My code is as below.
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
import org.testng.annotations.*;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import java.io.File;
import jxl.*;
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class FirstTestusingWebDriver {
private WebDriver driver;
private String baseUrl="http://www.google.co.in";
private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
#BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws Exception {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#DataProvider(name="DP")
Object[] createData(){
String[] testData = {"Cheese", "Sudeep"};
System.out.println("Data is getting created");
return testData;
}
#Test(dataProvider="DP")
public void testUntitled(String testData) throws Exception {
driver.get("http://www.google.co.in/");
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys(testData);
driver.findElement(By.name("btnG")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Cheese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia")).click();
}
#AfterClass
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
driver.quit();
String verificationErrorString = verificationErrors.toString();
if (!"".equals(verificationErrorString)) {
fail(verificationErrorString);
}
}
private boolean isElementPresent(By by) {
try {
driver.findElement(by);
return true;
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
return false;
}
}
}
But with this code, the test is not running. Firefox opens and closes while running the test as testNG. Can anyone suggest a proper way to go about it or how to make this work.

just do a slight amendment in ur createData() i.e
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.*;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
import org.testng.annotations.*;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import java.io.File;
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class FirstTestusingWebDriver {
private WebDriver driver;
private String baseUrl="http://www.google.co.in";
private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
#BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws Exception {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#DataProvider(name="DP")
Object[][] createData(){
String[] testData = {"Cheese", "Sudeep"};
System.out.println("Data is getting created");
return new Object[][]{{testData[0]+testData[1]}};
}
#Test(dataProvider="DP")
public void testUntitled(String testData) throws Exception {
driver.get("http://www.google.co.in/");
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys(testData);
driver.findElement(By.name("btnG")).click();
//driver.findElement(By.linkText("Cheese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia")).click();
}
#AfterClass
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
//driver.quit();
String verificationErrorString = verificationErrors.toString();
if (!"".equals(verificationErrorString)) {
fail(verificationErrorString);
}
}
private boolean isElementPresent(By by) {
try {
driver.findElement(by);
return true;
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
return false;
}
}}
now it will work fine..
