Selenium TestNG - java.lang.NullPointerException

Question

I am trying to test the login function to Gmail. But it displays an exception error "java.lang.NullPointerException" . Code as follows:

    package gmail;

    import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

    import org.junit.After;
    import org.junit.Before;
    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
    import org.testng.annotations.Test;

    public class Gmail {
        WebDriver driver;

        @Before 
        public void setup() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E://chromedriver.exe");
        driver=new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/");
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(300, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        }

        @After
        public void quit() {
            driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
            driver.quit();
        }

        @Test()
        public void login() {

            WebElement txtUserName=driver.findElement(By.name("Email"));
            txtUserName.sendKeys("[email protected]");

            WebElement txtPassword=driver.findElement(By.name("Passwd"));
            txtPassword.sendKeys("abcd123");

            WebElement btnLogin=driver.findElement(By.name ("signIn"));
            btnLogin.submit();
            }
    }

Error:

Answer 1

Your test annotations does not belongs to TestNG.

Replace

@Before with @BeforeTest 
@After with @AfterTest 
@Test should point TestNG library
