Issue/Introduction

There is a JDBC execution step in the test case. When Select query is executed, getting below exception in DevTest 10.6 workstation:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.itko.lisa.jdbc.JDBCResultSetCache.getRowData(JDBCResultSetCache.java:75)
at com.itko.lisa.jdbc.JDBCResultSetCache.<init>(JDBCResultSetCache.java:59)
at com.itko.lisa.jdbc.JDBCNode.makeGenericCall(JDBCNode.java:475)
at com.itko.lisa.jdbc.JDBCNode.executeSQL(JDBCNode.java:394)
at com.itko.lisa.jdbc.JDBCNodeEditor.doExec(JDBCNodeEditor.java:483)
at com.itko.lisa.jdbc.JDBCNodeEditor$6.doCallback(JDBCNodeEditor.java:417)
at com.itko.util.swing.panels.ProcessingDialog$2.run(ProcessingDialog.java:195)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

 

The query result set has some null values. However, same test is working fine in DevTest 10.3.

So all the JDBC database tests which were running fine using DevTest 10.3, are throwing null pointer exception using DevTest 10.6. 

Cause

Post 10.3 version of DevTest, a regression bug got into the product that caused this Null Pointer Exception.

Environment

Release : 10.4 and above

Component : CA Application Test
