Why I am getting Data Provider MisMatch error when I try to read from excel file?

Question

I am trying to do data driven testing and I am not able to figure it out why I am getting data mismatch. I am trying to automate just usernames and that is in form of string. Can you please review my code and tell me what I am doing wrong? Below are two files. one is my main method file and one is my excel config file. I have also attached screenshot of my error. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

You are declaring Object[][] credentials = new Object[rows][2]; but you fill only one column keeping other column empty ( null ). Hence the dimension of your array does not match the number of arguments your method accepts.

Fix it with changing that line to:

Object[][] credentials = new Object[rows][1];
