Getting nullpointer exception in cucumber picocontainer

I am trying to pass webdriver into my step-definition using picocontainer but getting null pointer

Please refer below my utility class having webdriver instance declared as public:- 

package base;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class Utils {
  public WebDriver driver;
}

Please refer below my utility class having hooks to invoke and destroy driver instance:- 

    public class Baseutils extends Utils {

    private Utils obj;

    public Baseutils(Utils obj) {
        this.obj=obj;
    }

    @Before("@chrome")
    public void chromeSetup()
    {
        if(obj.driver==null)
        {
            System.out.println("Chrome instance has been instantiated");
            System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", 
                  PropertiesfileReader.getchromepath());
            ChromeOptions options=new ChromeOptions();
            options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
            options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
            options.addArguments("--no-proxy-server");
            obj.driver=new ChromeDriver(options);
        }
    }

    @Before("@firefox")
    public void firefoxSetup()
    {
        if(obj.driver==null)
        {
            System.out.println("Firefox instance has been instantiated");
            System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",PropertiesfileReader.getgeckopath());
            obj.driver=new FirefoxDriver();
            obj.driver.manage().window().maximize();
        }
    }

    @After
    public void teardown()
    {
        if(obj.driver!=null)
        {
            System.out.println("Browser instance has been closed");
            obj.driver.close();

        }
    }
}

My feature file is described below:- 

Feature: To verify and validate login functionality of Orangehrmdemo website

Background:
Given User navigates to Orangehrm demo

@chrome
Scenario: To verify login for valid user credentials

 Then User validates login page contents
 Then User enters "Admin" and "admin123" and click on login button

The step definition file corresponding to the feature file is given below:-

 public class orangehrmdemoSteps extends Utils {

 private Utils obj;

public orangehrmdemoSteps(Utils obj) {
    this.obj = obj;
 }

WebElement username= obj.driver.findElement(By.id("txtUsername"));
WebElement password=obj.driver.findElement(By.id("txtPassword"));
WebElement loginbutton=obj.driver.findElement(By.id("btnLogin"));

@Given("^User navigates to Orangehrm demo$")
public void user_navigates_to_Orangehrm_demo()  {
    obj.driver.get(PropertiesfileReader.geturltwo());
    obj.driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

@When("^Homepage of website is displayed$")
public void homepage_of_website_is_displayed()  {
    WebElement logo=obj.driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div#divLogo img"));
    Assert.assertTrue("Logo on orange hrm is not displayed", logo.isDisplayed());
}

@Then("^User validates login page contents$")
public void user_validates_login_page_contents() {
  Assert.assertTrue("username field not displayed", username.isDisplayed());
  Assert.assertTrue("password field not displayed", password.isDisplayed());
  Assert.assertTrue("login button not displayed", loginbutton.isDisplayed());
}

@Then("^User enters \"([^\"]*)\" and \"([^\"]*)\" and click on login button$")
public void user_enters_and_and_click_on_login_button(String uname, String pwd)  {
   username.sendKeys(uname);
   password.sendKeys(pwd);
   loginbutton.submit();
  }
}

My runner file is given below:- 

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(strict = true,plugin =

    at ✽.Given User navigates to Orangehrm demo(orangehrmDemo.feature:4)


    Process finished with exit code -1

The line number which is giving error is because driver is null at the highlighted line below:- 

    public class orangehrmdemoSteps extends Utils {

   private Utils obj;

    public orangehrmdemoSteps(Utils obj) {
        this.obj = obj;
    }

    **WebElement username= obj.driver.findElement(By.id("txtUsername"));**
    //line on which nullpointer occurs
    WebElement password=obj.driver.findElement(By.id("txtPassword"));
    WebElement loginbutton=obj.driver.findElement(By.id("btnLogin"));
Solution

  • Issue is solved now as the baseclass was declared in a package outside the package of steps files due to which driver instance was not accessible.
