Fails to execute second @Test method in TestNG

Question

Fails to hit method2() for following code snippet

public class project 
{
    static WebDriver driver;

    @Test()
    public void method1()
    {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\52013597\\Desktop\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
            WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
            driver.get("url");
    }

    @Test()
    public void method2()
        {
            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"login-panel\"]/div[2]/form/div[3]/input")).clear();
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"login-panel\"]/div[2]/form/div[3]/input")).sendKeys("TOYVA30U5VC");
        }
}

driver object is not available in test method 2 as it is created locally in method 1, you should not create new driver object, instead of that use static object. — Sumit2500, Aug 09 '18 at 10:11

You are missing driver object, either add to method2:

  WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

Or move this statement from method1 to class level.

You have define Webdriver at multiple place, Instead you have to initialize object value to driver in @Test method.

public class project 
{
static WebDriver driver;

@Test()
public void method1()
{
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\52013597\\Desktop\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("url");
}

@Test()
public void method2()
    {
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"login-panel\"]/div[2]/form/div[3]/input")).clear();
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"login-panel\"]/div[2]/form/div[3]/input")).sendKeys("TOYVA30U5VC");
    }
}

Or You can define it in Class level or Separate method without @Test annotation if you want to reuse it in another class.

order isn't guaranteed,so if `method2` will be execute before `method1` `driver` will be null and it won't work – Ori Marko Aug 09 '18 at 06:23
@user7294900 But TestNG executes Test as according to alphabetic order, Isn't it so? – Ishita Shah Aug 09 '18 at 06:29
No according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2669576/order-of-execution-of-tests-in-testng – Ori Marko Aug 09 '18 at 06:31
No, It may be for earlier version. Look at this my demo http://prntscr.com/kghiae – Ishita Shah Aug 09 '18 at 06:34
Anyway it's a bad practice assuming order of unit test that should/can be executed as a **unit** – Ori Marko Aug 09 '18 at 06:37
Yes, Its OP's choice how to handle it. We can give direction only. – Ishita Shah Aug 09 '18 at 06:38
