Error TestNG BeforeClass initialization code not running before Test

0 votes

I am trying to set some elements on the @BeforeClass section but. But I am getting null pointer exception.

public class Error: TestNG @BeforeClass initialization code not running before Test

RunTest {

private static WebElement user;

private static WebElement pass;

private static WebElement login;


@BeforeClass

public static void driveraBaglan() {

    //Driver is declared here. I removed it to give the simple code.

    user = driver.findElement(By.id("user"));

    pass = driver.findElement(By.id("pass"));

    login = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Log In')]"));

    statusMessage = driver.findElement(By.id("login-status-message")).getText();


}

@Test(priority=1)

public void loginNoInfo() {

        user.clear();

        pass.clear();

}

I get the null pointer error on user.clear() , pass.clear() and login.click() functions. Please help to resolve it.

Below will help:

@BeforeTest: The annotated method will be run before any test method belonging to the classes inside the <test> tag is run.
@BeforeClass: The annotated method will be run before the first test method in the current class is invoked

Change the annotation

@BeforeTest

public static void driveraBaglan() {

    //Driver is declared here. I removed it to give the simple code. 

    user = driver.findElement(By.id("user"));

    pass = driver.findElement(By.id("pass"));

    login = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Log In')]"));

    statusMessage = driver.findElement(By.id("login-status-message")).getText();

}
