        }   
    }
    
    

The function OpenTheSuperAdmin() is running but when ClickOnBanner() is executed, I get the following error: driver cannot be resolved.

Why is OpenTheSuperAdmin() being executed without any errors and the driver error not showing there?

CodePudding user response：

You are instantiating the driver variable inside of the OpenTheSuperAdmin method so it is outside of the scope of the ClickOnBanner test. Please try the following:

    package bannerTstNG;
    
    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
    import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
    import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
    import org.testng.annotations.Test;
    
    public class BannerTestNG {

        private WebDriver driver;        
        
        @BeforeTest
        public void OpenTheSuperAdmin() throws InterruptedException {
            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\myselenium\\bannerTstNG\\driver\\chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");

            driver = new ChromeDriver();

            driver.get("https://ss-superadmin-staging.labaiik.net/");
            driver.manage().window().maximize();
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='email']")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='password']")).sendKeys("admin");
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Login')]")).click();
            Thread.sleep(6000);
        }
    
        @Test
        public void ClickOnBanner() {
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/ul[1]/li[4]/a[1]")).click
        
        }
    }

By declaring the driver as a field in the class you will now be able to access it from any of the tests inside of the class.
