TestComplete Jenkins plugin v.1.8 throws NullPointerException on Windows 7 x64 SP1

[Bonibom]

Hi all,

I use the TestComplete Support plugin along with TestExecute component for running tests on a remote VM.

Recently I upgraded the plugin to v. 1.18. The plugin throws an exception on Windows 7 x64 Pro SP1 and all is running fine on Windows 7 x32 Pro SP1. The several attempts gave the same result. I downgraded to plugin v. 1.7 and the exception is not being thrown. Stacktrace is below.

ERROR: Build step failed with exception

Couple things, do you have different versions of Test Complete & Test Execute installations? 

Can you post your Jenkins project configuration and the full console output when you attempt to run this?

Something strange occured. I reverted back to plugin v. 1.8 in order to provide console output but issue is not reproducible.

Regarding versions: both TC and TE are the same version - 12.30.

I will provide more info if such an issue will occure.
