  • Your `fx:id`s don't match the field names in the controller. – James_D Dec 29 '17 at 14:18
  • Have you tried running it in an debugger and setting a break point on the line that throws the error? – D-Dᴙum Dec 29 '17 at 14:50
  • Maybe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30210170/is-fxml-needed-for-every-declaration/30213067#30213067 is also helpful. @Kerry I'm not sure a debugger here would reveal anything that isn't already immediately obvious from the stack trace: `name` is null. – James_D Dec 29 '17 at 15:16
  • @James_D: `give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime` – D-Dᴙum Dec 29 '17 at 16:58
  • @Kerry At risk of stretching the metaphor too far, you need to teach him what a fish is first. Learning to read and understand a stack trace is a far more fundamental (and important, imho) skill than using a debugger. And a debugger here will not tell you why the field is null, because its initialized via injection by the framework; so it would really just be a distraction. – James_D Dec 29 '17 at 17:02
