Which means that you the following line returns a null.

System.getProperty("F:\\Azar\\SeleniumMaven_Git_Jenkins"
    + "\\src\\main\\java\\com\\qa\\easy\\config\\config.properties")

  • Thanks Joao... But my properties file is exactly in that location. Any advice to fix this or find if it's returning null value ? – user40473 Jul 17 '19 at 10:05

    Are you sure the command doesn't return null? System.getProperty expects the name of a property (os.name, e.g.) not a path to a property file. Can you add a break point and check the result of this command specifically at this point? – João Farias Jul 17 '19 at 10:40
  • When I updated the line as FileInputStream inp = new FileInputStream("F:\\Azar\\SeleniumMaven_Git_Jenkins\\src\\main\\resources\\com\\qa\\easy\\config\\config.properties"); The error is java.io.FileNotFoundException. But I'm able to find this file in the same location in my drive. any issues with access settings ? – user40473 Jul 17 '19 at 11:07

    Thanks Joao.... I found the issue. prop.load(ip); where the issue was. instead of Inputstream method I changed it to Reader method and it is working fine now. – user40473 Jul 17 '19 at 11:20
  • This issue may have different causes, since it's highly coupled to the state of your file system. I would try out using the user.dir property as prefix to the path.
