Getting null pointer exception when running in jenkins

[OmerCeliker]

Your help or direction is appreciated to solving the issue.
The steps to generate the issue is to run "mvn clean verify"
When maven is run from command line it seems to work okay.
when maven is run from jenkins it is not working.

Thanks.

Run the tests without calling webdriver - useful to check your JBehave wireing

Customise browser size

Can you post the code where the null pointer is happening?

[OmerCeliker]

A request.
Is there a complete log of all changes based on versions released?
That is very valuable as it is difficult by looking at individual release logs
to see which version of serenity is using which selenium drivers.

I had to switch back to pure selenium java code to find correct jar compatible
with firefox browser we have on linux. We are using Xvnc.

$ firefox -version
Mozilla Firefox 45.3.0

This page helped me do this.
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/java/CHANGELOG

Pure java selenium code with Cucumber or Jbehave is working but we like the report display feature of
serenity.

Thanks.

This looks like a problem in the LoginScenarioSteps class (line 25) - what does the code do on this line?

Closing due to lack of activity.
