Fix NullPointerException

in Selenium

Solution

NullPointerException in Selenium often arises when a variable (like a WebElement or WebDriver) is used without being properly initialized or assigned a value (resulting in null). To fix this, ensure that all variables are initialized before use, particularly by properly instantiating WebDriver and locating WebElements before attempting to interact with them. Double-check for null returns from methods and handle them gracefully, for instance, by using null checks or appropriate exception handling.
