How to trace java.lang.NullPointerException error.

Can someone please tell me how to debug java.lang.NullPointerException errors? I have an automated solution written in groovy and every so often in the error log I get the line: ERROR:java.lang.NullP...

Hi and thanks for your reply.

 

The OS is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

SoapUI version is 5.1.2

 

The steps to reproduce are simply running my groovy script. It occurs several times throughout the script because the script loops through many test cases each of which contain several test steps. I know this may not be particularly helpful as you would need my entire project but my employer very likely won't let me share it due to it being intellectual property. I can ask.

 

I find the user-friendliness of SoapUI to be quite poor especially when it comes to debugging things. It never tells you the script or the line number and this makes debugging nearly impossible. It would be great to have a full IDE within it.

 

Regards

In general log files shows the error line of the groovy script, in my opinion. Have you checked soapui.log, soapui-error.log files?
At least you could tell what script is doing, that would help to understand or post the script if possible.
