All the hooks, inheritance, and attribute initialization makes reasoning how the initialization code run very difficult. Probably it would require lots of debugging to understand how it works ATM.

I would suggest simply re-writing it to be cleaner.

E.g.

On the Hooks, you can configure one static class that will hold the driver.

@Before("not @mobile")
    public void beforeDesktop(Scenario scenario) {
        
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C://Users//Bartek//eclipse-workspace/chromedriver.exe");
        val driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.manage().window().maximize();

        // driver.get("https://www.netcarshow.com/"); -> Removing it on purpose
        DriverWrapper.setDriver(driver);

    }

This class would be something like:

public static class DriverWrapper {
  @Setter @Getter
  private Driver driver;
}

Then on your steps, simply use it.

@Slf4j
public class LandingPageStepDefs {

   LandingPage landingPage;

   @Given("The user accesses the home page")
   public void customerAcceptsCookieConsent() {
      landingPage = new LandingPage(DriverWrapper.getDriver());
   }

   @And("Customer accepts cookie consent")
   public void customerAcceptsCookieConsent() {
       landingPage.acceptConsent();
   }

   @And("I click {string} button at the bottom of the page")
   public void iClickButtonAtTheBottomOfThePage(String text) {
       landingPage.clickButtonAtTheBottom(text);
   }


}

  • Can you detail the error? Are you sure beforeDesktop runs before customerAcceptsCookieConsent?

  • The problem was solved, it was not in the code but in intellij runner configuration.
