@FindBy annotation is not being initialized

[SrivaniChennupati]

from 4.1.8 , @findby annotation is not getting initialized , Here is an example

I have LaunchPage.java where i have initialized properties username and password.

LaunchPage.java is referenced like this from base class as follows

However when i try to make actions on the property, its getting failed as username is getting null reference error and when i see that page during initialization i can see the following variables, and in here username and password are null.

I would generally advise against using @findby, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't get initialised. Have a look in the PageObject class to see if you can see any reason why it might be getting skipped.

I tried with By locator Strategy and its working. However for FindBy, even if driver is null, framework is getting driver from serenity , so I don't see any issue there and I will try to debug more and see to pin point the issue

Thanks for the help @wakaleo

I can confirm this is still working for the projects I have tried it on. However your Page Object looks a bit odd - you shouldn't have @steps inside a page object or be creating it using the @steps annotation - that is only for step libraries. Page Objects are instantiated automatically and should not contain step libraries, only locators and page-specific logic.

Closed presumed resolved.
