[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-3604) Updating a fact causes NPE with extends

Updating a fact causes NPE with extends --------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-3604 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3604 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-core (expert) Affects Versions: 5.4.0.Final Reporter: Bobby Graham Assignee: Mark Proctor Attachments: ExternalUpdateInheritanceTest.java, inheritance.drl Problem: When there are two rules (A and B) such that B extends A and both A and B reference the same fact in their conditions, calling update on that fact after calling fireAllRules causes a NPE. DRL: {code} package inheritance import org.drools.Address rule "Parent" enabled false when Address(suburb == "xyz") then end rule "Child" extends "Parent" when $addy:Address(street == "123 some street") then System.out.println($addy); end {code} Test: {code} package org.drools.testframework; import org.drools.Address; import org.drools.KnowledgeBase; import org.drools.KnowledgeBaseFactory; import org.drools.builder.KnowledgeBuilder; import org.drools.builder.KnowledgeBuilderFactory; import org.drools.builder.ResourceType; import org.drools.io.Resource; import org.drools.io.ResourceFactory; import org.drools.runtime.StatefulKnowledgeSession; import org.drools.runtime.rule.FactHandle; import org.junit.Test; public class ExternalUpdateInheritanceTest { @Test public void testExternalInheritanceFactUpdates() { KnowledgeBase knowledgeBase = null; KnowledgeBuilder builder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder(); Resource newClassPathResource = ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource("org/drools/lang/inheritance.drl"); builder.add(newClassPathResource, ResourceType.DRL); if (builder.hasErrors()) { throw new RuntimeException(builder.getErrors().toString()); } knowledgeBase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(); knowledgeBase.addKnowledgePackages(builder.getKnowledgePackages()); StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = knowledgeBase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession(); Address address = new Address(); address.setSuburb("xyz"); FactHandle addressHandle = ksession.insert(address); int rulesFired = ksession.fireAllRules(); address.setStreet("123 some street"); ksession.update(addressHandle, address); System.out.println(rulesFired); } } {code} Stack Trace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.createActivation(DefaultAgenda.java:572) at org.drools.reteoo.RuleTerminalNode.modifyLeftTuple(RuleTerminalNode.java:297) at org.drools.reteoo.LeftTupleSource.doModifyLeftTuple(LeftTupleSource.java:297) at org.drools.reteoo.AbstractTerminalNode.modifyLeftTuple(AbstractTerminalNode.java:104) at org.drools.reteoo.SingleLeftTupleSinkAdapter.doPropagateModifyLeftTuple(SingleLeftTupleSinkAdapter.java:205) at org.drools.reteoo.SingleLeftTupleSinkAdapter.propagateModifyObject(SingleLeftTupleSinkAdapter.java:235) at org.drools.reteoo.LeftInputAdapterNode.modifyObject(LeftInputAdapterNode.java:170) at org.drools.reteoo.SingleObjectSinkAdapter.propagateModifyObject(SingleObjectSinkAdapter.java:68) at org.drools.reteoo.AlphaNode.modifyObject(AlphaNode.java:157) at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.doPropagateModifyObject(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:507) at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.propagateModifyObject(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:421) at org.drools.reteoo.ObjectTypeNode.modifyObject(ObjectTypeNode.java:314) at org.drools.reteoo.EntryPointNode.modifyObject(EntryPointNode.java:265) at org.drools.common.NamedEntryPoint.update(NamedEntryPoint.java:474) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.update(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:960) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.update(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:933) at org.drools.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.update(StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.java:284) at org.drools.testframework.ExternalUpdateInheritanceTest.testExternalInheritanceFactUpdates(ExternalUpdateInheritanceTest.java:44)
