Using driver.findElement.By.id("usr"),

Im able to locate element and sendkeys But usernameTB.sendKeys(username) is throwing Null Pointer Exception

public class LoginPage extends TestBase {

    // Page Factory or Object Repository
    @FindBy(id = "usr")
        static WebElement  usernameTB;
public LoginPage() {
        PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
    }
public    static void loginFunction(String env, String username, String password) {


        try
        {

        if (env != null && username!=null && password!=null) {
            if (env.equals("dev")) {
                driver.findElement(By.id("usr")).sendKeys(username);

Using static function and at the same time initializing page factory elements – priyanka bonam Sep 13 '19 at 06:56

Yes. Don't use PageFactory for static elements/functions. – Fenio Sep 13 '19 at 06:58
