Multiple sessions are not initializing using testng with selenium 4

[sonali9293]

Problem Statement

I am facing tear down/Null pointer issues (org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException) when running an entire class or a test suit which holds many methods on different browsers and devices. Tests are ran on saucelabs.

when a single method is run, it works absolutely fine but while running the entire class or a suite, it is not working. Also, few methods are passing (say like 3 methods) while the others are getting skipped or failed (going in tear down/Null Pointer or session not created). This is the same even if I am using maven plugin to run. Looks like the driver is not closing the session before starting a new one. What could be the possibilities ? am i missing anything?

Code

` private ThreadLocal webDriver = new ThreadLocal();

public WebDriver getWebDriver() {
    // Starts the ThreadLocal<Boolean> for checking the evidon banner as false
    hasEvidonBeenChecked.set(false);
    if (!BaseTest.isLocal) {
        return webDriver.get();
    } else {
        return localWebDriver;
    }
}

@org.testng.annotations.Test(dataProvider = "remoteBrowsers", priority = 1)
public void TestPractive(String browser, String version, String os, String platformversion, String devicename,
        Method method) throws InterruptedException, OfferNotFoundException, IOException, NullPointerException,
        IndexOutOfBoundsException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException {
    this.createDriver(browser, version, os, platformversion, devicename, method.getName());
    WebDriver driver = this.getWebDriver();
    this.setupImplicitWait(driver, 20);
}`
