  • Is it because you've commented out the definition of `driver`? It's really hard to tell since we can't tell which bits of your code are commented for the purposes of this question and which bits are commented out "for real". – Paul Hicks Feb 28 '16 at 03:40
  • I tried to edit it to make it more readable but I couldn't make enough sense of it. The code as-is cannot compile and I can't tell where one piece ends and the next begins. – Paul Hicks Feb 28 '16 at 03:41

You are not initiated driver, it is null

 public static WebDriver driver;

you may think starting firefox driver as below, but is it returning the driver?

  login.setup("Firefox");

Change this setup method to return driver and assign this to above static webdriver driver;

   driver= login.setup("Firefox");

Thank you, Murali

  • Thanks Murali, COuld you give me an example of what you mean "Change this setup method to return driver and assign this to above static webdriver driver". I'm new to this. Appreciate your help! – user16626 Feb 29 '16 at 22:15
