Hi,

I have this test for Salesforce Lightning Test-

import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint  
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase  
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory.findTestData  
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject  
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findWindowsObject  
import com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.Checkpoint as Checkpoint  
import com.kms.katalon.core.cucumber.keyword.CucumberBuiltinKeywords as CucumberKW  
import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile  
import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling as FailureHandling  
import com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCase as TestCase  
import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestData as TestData  
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject as TestObject  
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS  
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI  
import com.kms.katalon.core.windows.keyword.WindowsBuiltinKeywords as Windows  
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable  
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys as Keys

WebUI.openBrowser(’’)

WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘[https://uat.lightning.force.com](https://uat.lightning.force.com)%252Flightning%252Fpage%252Fhome’)

WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Delta Credit/Page\_Login Salesforce/input\_Username\_username’), ‘rahanuma.progga@consultant.kkr.com’)

WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Delta Credit/Page\_Login Salesforce/input\_Password\_pw’), ‘1LocSWEqcFbw7wd9q1G7sg==’)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Delta Credit/Page\_Login Salesforce/input\_Password\_Login’))

WebUI.delay(30)

WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject(‘Object repository/Delta Credit/Page\_HomeSalesforce/span\_Relationships’), 30)

WebUI.delay(30)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Object repository/Delta Credit/Page\_HomeSalesforce/span\_Relationships’))

But I’m getting this error - Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object is null

Here I’m trying to click on the span\_Relationships element but in Test it’s actually throwing this error just after it launched the Homepage.

Looking forward for help.

Thanks,  
Raha

How about taking a look at the **xpath** that you have to the span\_Relationships element? It seems that the path is not valid and therefore you get a null.

Another thing is to fix the URL (if it looks like you have copied above):  
`WebUI.navigateToUrl('https://uat.lightning.force.com/lightning/page/home')`

Actually, you may have to **double** slash every single slash so it looks like:  
`WebUI.navigateToUrl('https:///uat.lightning.force.com//lightning//page//home')`

And you may opt for hitting CTRL + SHIFT + o to lessen the mismatch of import statements you have–Mobile, Web Services and Web.
