Reusing same browser - Getting Error (sessionId should not be null )

[Mohammed Sikander]

I am using NetBeans with JAVA and JUnit.

I am trying to run test cases from different classes. Following are my two classes. In first class class1 i have defined oDefaultSelenium, which will launch browser, and logins to my site.
In the class2 i want to continue with the same browser, by using the same object oDefaultSelenium. But by doing this i am getting the following error message.
"Exception: sessionId should not be null; has this session been started yet?"

public class class1 extends SeleneseTestCase{
  
    DefaultSelenium oDefaultSelenium = new DefaultSelenium(sServerHost, iServerPort, sBrowserType,sBaseUrl);

         public void setUp() throws Exception {
         oDefaultSelenium.start();          
         oDefaultSelenium.setSpeed("5000");
         }

public boolean Login(){
            setUp
            oDefaultSelenium.open("testsite.com");
         }
}

public class class2 extends class1{
       
    public void verifyAdminTabLinks(){
      
        oDefaultSelenium.click(link1);
        oDefaultSelenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
         }

Is there any simple workaround for this?

Thanks,
Sikander

Try creating a constructor and passing the selenium object through the constructor to the other class...

Keep me posted..

Tried, but got following error message - java.lang.NullPointerException

Please use the below code and explain.

Null pointer exception means selenium instance is not created.

Thanks everyone who helped me getting this solved.
Those who are facing same kind of problem, please find the solution below.

Step1: Create ClassA:

package SmokeTest;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class ClassA extends SeleneseTestCase {

    public ClassA(Selenium selenium) {
        super.selenium = selenium;
    }

    public void test_Login() throws Exception
    {
        try{
        selenium.setTimeout("60000");
        selenium.open("codesearch");
    }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        }
}

Step2: Create ClassB

package SmokeTest;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class ClassB extends SeleneseTestCase {
    ClassA a;

    public void setUp() throws Exception
    {

        setUp("http://google.com", "*iexplore");
        a = new ClassA(super.selenium);
    }
    public void test_01 throws Exception
    {
        try
        {
            a.test_Login();
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            System.out.println(ex);
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Step3: Execute these test cases.

package SmokeTest;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import junit.framework.*;
import java.io.*;
import junit.textui.TestRunner;

public class CRLogin extends SeleneseTestCase {

    public static Test suiteToRun(){
           TestSuite suite = new TestSuite();
           suite.addTestSuite(ClassA.class);
           return suite;
   }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TestRunner.run(suiteToRun());
    }
}

Cheers,
Sikander
