Mvn clean test command.

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0-M5</version>
   <configuration>
       <includes>
         <include>Tests.java</include>
        </includes>
   </configuration>
 </plugin>

Log File:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.cimb.Listener.TestListener.onTestFailure(TestListener.java:47)
    at org.testng.internal.TestListenerHelper.runTestListeners(TestListenerHelper.java:96)
    at org.testng.internal.TestInvoker.runTestResultListener(TestInvoker.java:220)

It's error point to the first line of onTestFailure method. Source Code:

@Override
    public synchronized void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) {
        test.get().fail("Exception: " + result.getThrowable());

        WebDriver driver = (WebDriver) result.getTestContext().getAttribute("driver");

        String feature = getClass().getName();
        String screenShot;
        try {
            screenShot = CaptureScreenshot.captureScreen(driver, CaptureScreenshot.generateFileName(feature));
            test.get().addScreenCaptureFromPath(screenShot);
            test.get().log(Status.FAIL, screenShot);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            log.error(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

Please help. A billion thanks for your help.

This is the TestNG problem. Why don't you ask the development team of the TestNG library at the GitHub? https://github.com/cbeust/testng — tibor17, Jan 31 '21 at 11:06
