Calling methods from two classes in Selenium C #
This is probably a stupid question, but I haven't found an answer that leads me to a solution yet
Let's say I have a test method to test the functionality of the login portal. It's in TestClassA. I want to run this method in TestClassB TestInitialize method so that I can reliably run selenium on a blank slide to test the functionality behind this portal login.
Here's the test code given
using Login_Elements;
using Dashboard;
namespace Test_Dashboard_Elements
{
[TestClass]
public class DashboardTests
{
IWebDriver _driver;
DashboardElements dash;
[TestInitialize]
public void Test_Setup()
{
dash = new DashboardElements(_driver);
LoginPage login = new LoginPage(_driver);
_driver = new FirefoxDriver();
_driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("exampleurl/login");
login.Login();
}
}
Which calls the DashboardElements instance and passes the selenium web editor, then calls the LoginPage instance and passes the selenium web editor (which I believe is the problem), and calls the login method from LoginPage
IWebDriver _driver;
//Username field
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "username")]
private IWebElement userName;
//Password field
[FindsBy(How = How.Id, Using = "password")]
private IWebElement password;
//Submit Button
[FindsBy(How = How.ClassName, Using = "btn")]
private IWebElement submit_button;
//Constructor
public LoginPage(IWebDriver driver)
{
this._driver = driver;
PageFactory.InitElements(driver, this);
}
//Sends passed string to username field
public void sendUserName(string strUsername)
{
userName.SendKeys(strUsername);
}
//Sends passed string to password field
public void sendPassword(string strPassword)
{
password.SendKeys(strPassword);
}
//Clicks submit button
public void submit()
{
submit_button.Click();
}
public void Login()
{
sendUserName("username");
sendPassword("password!");
submit();
}
Returns
>Message: Initialization method Test_Dashboard_Elements.DashboardTests.Test_Setup threw exception. System.ArgumentNullException: System.ArgumentNullException: searchContext may not be null Parameter name: searchContext
It looks to me like it has to do with passing _driver twice, but I'm not sure how to do it

It looks like the problem is with the instantiation driver
. You are not passing an instance of the driver to DashboardElements()
. To fix this:
- First enter
driver
. -
Transfer an instance
driver
toPageObject
.using Login_Elements; using Dashboard; namespace Test_Dashboard_Elements { [TestClass] public class DashboardTests { IWebDriver _driver; DashboardElements dash; [TestInitialize] public void Test_Setup() { _driver = new FirefoxDriver(); dash = new DashboardElements(_driver); LoginPage login = new LoginPage(_driver); _driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("exampleurl/login"); login.Login(); } }
