Getting 'nullPointerException' in @AfterMethod [closed]

Question

Code:

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;


public class GoogleTestTestng {
    WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeMethod
    public void setup(){
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(40, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.get("http://google.com");
    }
    @Test
    public void googleTitleTest() {
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        System.out.println(title);
    }
    @AfterMethod
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Exception:

Answer 1

1. Simply use @BeforeTest & @AfterTest instead of @BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod.

2. Launch URL before pageLoadTimeout and implicitlyWait.

3. Make sure you have added double '//' in your driver path.

Try This:

public class GoogleTestTestng {
    public WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeTest
    public void setup(){
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E://chromedriver_win32//chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
        driver.get("http://google.com");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(40, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    }
    @Test
    public void googleTitleTest() {
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        System.out.println(title);
    }
    @AfterTest
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }
}
