NullpointerException while invoking SendKeys through Selenium using PageFactory with Page Object

Question

I have three classes. One for getting all elements from the Webpage, one for performing actions with those elements and one for the test scripts. I get a null pointer except

Answer 1

You can continue to use the @FindBy annotations you just need to make sure you initialise the WebElements. To do this you should initialise your LoginPageElements using PageFactory:

LoginPageElements loginPageElements = PageFactory.initElements(webDriver, LoginPageElements.class);

where webDriver is an instance of the WebDriver you are using to run the selenium tests.

Answer 2

You need to declare the WebDriver instance and add the constructor in LoginPageElements & LoginPageActions class as:

1. LoginPageElements class:

   WebDriver driver;
   
   //constructor
   public LoginPageElements(WebDriver loginDriver)
   {
       this.driver=loginDriver;
   }
   

2. LoginPageActions class:

   WebDriver driver;
   
   //constructor
   public LoginPageActions(WebDriver loginDriver)
   {
       this.driver=loginDriver;
   }
