NullPointerException using @Before Annotations with JUnit 5 through Selenium

Below you see @Before startBrowser() creates webDriver.

public WebDriver webDriver;


    @Before
    public void startBrowser(){

        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", driverPath);


        FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
        firefoxOptions.setCapability("marionette", true);


/* ---> */ webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);


    }


    @Test
    void navigateToUrl() {
        webDriver.get("http://demo.guru99.com/selenium/guru99home/");
    }

But I get a nullpointer in @Test void navigateToUrl()

but @Before is supposed to run right?

Annotating a public void method with @Before causes that method to be run before the Test method.

@BeforeEach works however. But I just want to use @Before ! .

As @Yeahseol commented, in JUnit5, @BeforeEach is the equivalent to @Before.

@Before is not supported in JUnit5

This error message...

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at demo.TestTest.navigateToUrl(TestTest.java:42)
    .
    at com.intellij.junit5.JUnit5IdeaTestRunner.startRunnerWithArgs(JUnit5IdeaTestRunner.java:69)

...implies that NullPointerException was raised.

As per the documentation in JUnit 5 Annotations 's most common annotations are:

  • @Test
  • @ParameterizedTest
  • @RepeatedTest
  • @DisplayName
  • @BeforeEach
  • @AfterEach
  • @BeforeAll
  • @AfterAll
  • @Tag
  • @Disabled

Snapshot:

JUnit5Annotations

Solution

As @Before annotation is not supported in JUnit5 and you have to replace it either with @BeforeEach or @BeforeAll.
