这个问题在这里已经有答案了：

什么是nullpointerexception，如何修复它(12个答案）
上个月关门了。
我一直在网上搜寻解决办法。这是我第一次实现junit，而且我对java相当陌生（更熟悉python）。我正在为一个学生写一个测试班 Library 类并尝试示例化 Library 对象使用 @Before ，但对于我编写的每个测试方法，我都会不断得到一个空指针异常。下面是测试类：

class LibraryTest {

    public Library l1;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        l1 = new Library("Public Library", "Glasgow");

    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() {
        l1 = null;
    }

    // test methods...

}

抱歉格式化，我不知道如何告诉这个编辑器我的代码从哪里开始和结束。希望足够清楚。
失败的测试示例：

@Test
public void newMembershipNoTest() {
    int before = l1.newMembershipNo();
    int after = l1.newMembershipNo();
    assertEquals(1, after - before);
}

以及测试方法：

public int newMembershipNo()
{
    highestMembershipNo ++;
    return highestMembershipNo;
}

以下是库类的构造函数（所有变量都设置为private）：

public Library(String name, String location)
{
    this.name = name;
    this.location = location;
    allResources = new ArrayList<Resource>();
    members = new ArrayList<Member>();
    authors= new ArrayList<Author>();
    highestMembershipNo = 0;
}

这就是我认为人们所说的堆栈跟踪的意思（我做这件事的时间不长！）
