Java Null Pointer

[jagad...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am trying to compare a NULL value retrieved from a variable to NULL value in a table and I am getting NULL pointer exception.

Sample Code:

#Assigning
!| query | select NULL NullVal from dual |
| NullVal? |
| >>NullVal |

#Comparing
!| query | select NULL TestVal2 from dual |
| TestVal2? |
| <<NullVal |


It throws the below error. Is this expected behavior?

java.lang.NullPointerException

I think your use case is valid and it shouldn't fail in this way. https://github.com/dbfit/dbfit/issues/272

We just fixed that with https://github.com/dbfit/dbfit/pull/278. So there will be no such issue with next DbFit release.
