Creating a session with "lttng create --live" without specifying any URL triggers a NULL pointer exception because the output is not set when getting the session descriptor base path.
Indeed, the destination output URL will only be set later in cmd_create_session_from_descriptor(), when setting the default output. When the default output is used, no base path override is possible, therefore it is fine to assign the base_path to NULL in the base path getter.
