[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-2527) NullPointerException during rule compilation on entry.getValue().getExtractor().getExtractToClass() instead of clear, understandable compiler error because the getter doesn't exist

Mark Proctor commented on JBRULES-2527:
---------------------------------------

managed to recreate the problem, there must be a return value or inline eval that uses the variable.

> When adding this rule, I got a NullPointerException:
> rule "myRule"
>     when
>         MyFact(
>             ...
>             $myVariable : wrongGetterName
>         )
>         ...
> end
> It crashes in
>   PatternBuilder.getDeclarationsMap(PatternBuilder.java:666) (With that line number it must be evil! :))
> on this line:
>   declarations.put( entry.getKey(),
>                               entry.getValue().getExtractor().getExtractToClass() );
> and in debug it shows that
>   entry.getValue() is $myVariable
> and that
>   entry.getValue().getExtractor() is null
> which makes .getExtractToClass() give the NPE
> It turns out that MyFact.getWrongGetterName() doesn't exist (it should be MyFact.getCorrectGetterName()).
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
