POI getCell() with missing cell policy returning null pointer exception
Hello,
I am trying to create a groovy script to read from an excel sheet using Apache poi.
To handle null pointer exceptions when calling getCell(), i am calling it with the MissingCellPolicy CREATE_NULL_AS_BLANK, however, it is still triggering a null pointer exception.
I have attached a screenshot of my code. Any assistance to help resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Although i didn't get a response, i found a work around i thought i would share.
I think the issue is that, although it doesn't throw an error, the getCell MissingCellPolicy isn't fully supported by the compiler SOAPUI OS uses.
I used a combination of using the MissingCellPolicy and exception handling via nested try/catch statements to be able to achieve what i needed.
