I am executing "mvn -Ddocumentation -Declipse clean install" on the current sources in SVN, with the following reoccurring result:


Tests run: 4, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.324 sec

Results :

Tests in error:
  testFireAllRules(org.drools.vsm.ServiceManagerRioRemoteTest)
  testExecute(org.drools.vsm.ServiceManagerRioRemoteTest)
  testNamedService(org.drools.vsm.ServiceManagerRioRemoteTest)
  testVsmPipeline(org.drools.vsm.ServiceManagerRioRemoteTest)

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] There are test failures.

Please refer to C:\droolsinst\Drollig\drools-vsm\target\surefire-reports for the
 individual test results.


Looking in surefire reports at the concerned location, I have

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.drools.vsm.ServiceManagerRioRemoteTest.setUp(ServiceManagerRioRemoteTest.java:21)

Which in turn corresponds to the LoC

GenericMessageHandler handler =  ((SessionServiceImpl)rioServer.getSessionService()).getGenericMessageHandler();



Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent this error?



Thanks alot, Markus
