    Does the 'Name' property exist? What is the property value of 'Name'? Are you checking the null values? What actions are you performing to get this error?

    I experienced a comparable situation yesterday as well. It is possible that there is an issue with your execution plan. I would recommend carefully reviewing the parameters you have provided.

    Hi,

     

    Cannot read property 'Name' of null

    This means that the object that is expected to provide Name property was not found/does not exist.

    Sample pseudocode:

    var obj = page.FindChildByXPath("non-existing XPath"); // object does not exist and null is assigned to obj variable

    Log.Message(obj.Name); // this will fail with the above error
