[rules-dev] Drools trunk build issue - any info?

I have been trying to synchronize and get my patch to work with the latest version of Drools 5.1.0.SNAPSHOT code from http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossrules/trunk without success. I tried the same snapshot build on another of the Tohu projects that didn't use the new patched code and got the same error. I had tried to build the whole JBoss snapshot from the root pom. Had encountered several issues due to dependency issues. What would you advise in these circumstances? I can roll back my local version to a version that works with the patched code (but then this will not work with the next version containing the current changes as it is). I have included the error below....(may give someone more info about the issue). org.drools.runtime.rule.ConsequenceException: rule: LoyaltyCard at org.drools.runtime.rule.impl.DefaultConsequenceExceptionHandler.handl eException(DefaultConsequenceExceptionHandler.java:23) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireActivation (DefaultAgenda.java:981 ) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem (DefaultAgenda.java:918) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireAllRules (DefaultAgenda.java:1130) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules (AbstractWorkingM emory.java:739) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules (AbstractWorkingM emory.java:705) at org.drools.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.fireAllRules (StatefulKno wledgeSessionImpl.java:200) at org.drools.command.runtime.rule.FireAllRulesCommand.execute (FireAllRu lesCommand.java:56) at org.drools.command.runtime.rule.FireAllRulesCommand.execute (FireAllRu lesCommand.java:13) at org.drools.runtime.impl.BatchExecutionImpl.execute (BatchExecutionImpl .java:35) at org.drools.runtime.impl.BatchExecutionImpl.execute (BatchExecutionImpl .java:15) at org.drools.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.execute (StatefulKnowledg eSessionImpl.java:826) at org.drools.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.execute (StatefulKnowledg eSessionImpl.java:811) at org.drools.runtime.pipeline.impl.ExecutorStage.execute (ExecutorStage. java:29) at org.drools.runtime.pipeline.impl.ExecutorStage.receive (ExecutorStage. java:19) at org.drools.runtime.pipeline.impl.BaseEmitter.emit (BaseEmitter.java:31 ) at org.drools.runtime.pipeline.impl.XStreamFromXmlTransformer.receive(XS treamFromXmlTransformer.java:47) at org.drools.runtime.pipeline.impl.BaseEmitter.emit (BaseEmitter.java:31 ) at org.drools.runtime.pipeline.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionPipelineImpl .insert(StatefulKnowledgeSessionPipelineImpl.java:40) at drools.rex.SessionExecutor$.execute(SessionExecutor.scala:26) at drools.rex.Server.execute(Server.scala:32) at drools.rex.StatefulServer.doPost(Server.scala:75) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:727) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:820) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder.handle (ServletHolder.java:487 ) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.handle (ServletHandler.java:3 62) at org.mortbay.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle (SecurityHandler.jav a:216) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.SessionHandler.handle (SessionHandler.java:1 81) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler.handle (ContextHandler.java:7 26) at org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.handle (WebAppContext.java:405) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle (ContextHand lerCollection.java:206) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerCollection.handle (HandlerCollection. java:114) at org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle (HandlerWrapper.java:1 52) at org.mortbay.jetty.Server.handle(Server.java:324) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handleRequest (HttpConnection.java:50 5) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection$RequestHandler.content (HttpConnectio n.java:843) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseNext(HttpParser.java:648) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpParser.parseAvailable(HttpParser.java:211) at org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection.handle(HttpConnection.java:380) at org.mortbay.io.nio.SelectChannelEndPoint.run (SelectChannelEndPoint.ja va:395) at org.mortbay.thread.QueuedThreadPool$PoolThread.run (QueuedThreadPool.j ava:488) Caused by: [Error: drools.insertLogical(questionnaire): null] [Near : {...
