[Resolved] NPE when a matrix parameter is empty

I discovered a new bug when trying to run my soapUI 4.0.1 based test project in the new 4.5.1 nightly build.
It’s a null pointer exception that occurs when a matrix parameter is left empty:

java.lang.NullPointerException

For your convenience I attach a project file to reproduce the error.
Please start the mock service first, then run the test case. Step 1 will work ok, because all parameters are set. Step 2 will produce the exception, it shows up in the error log.

Please also see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13126&p=43112#p43111

Stephan

    We will fix this as soon as possible. If this is important for your tests and you can't find a work-around, please watch our Nightly-builds, we may release this fix very soon.

    While we work on fixing this issue, here's a work-around that should work for most cases!

    Paste the following Groovy script into the "Setup Script" of each TestSuite where you have this problem:


    testSuite.testCaseList.each { tc ->
     tc.testStepList.each { step ->
      step.properties.each { _, prop ->
       if ( prop.class.name.endsWith( 'RestTestStepProperty' ) && prop.value == null ) {
        prop.value = ''
       }
      }
     }
    }
