Re: [rules-dev] NPE with nested patterns

Mauricio, I am seeing exactly what you wrote. What I have found until now is that the harming pattern is inside the last and block (the one starting at line 218 of the single big rule and ending at 235), indeed if you comment away that block the test succeeds. I'll keep you updated on my further findings.
