---------------------------------------------
Summary: NullPointerException (at
freemarker.core.BlockAssignment.accept:62)
Key: FREEMARKER-165
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-165
Project: Apache Freemarker
Issue Type: Bug
Components: engine
Affects Versions: 2.3.28
Environment: Windows 10; fmpp / http://fmpp.sourceforge.net/ (v0.9.16
per March, 10th 2020)
Reporter: Torsten Rendelmann
Have a xxx.ftl with only this content:
{{<#assign VersionMajor{color:#de350b} in doc{color}>1</#assign>}}
Try to processing this with fmpp results in this error message:
- Executing: xxx.ftl
!!! FAILED
>>> ABORTED! <<<
0 executed + 0 rendered + 0 copied = 0 successfully processed
1 failed, 0 warning(s)
Time elapsed: 0.077 seconds
Error when processing this file: xxx.ftl
java.lang.NullPointerException (at freemarker.core.BlockAssignment.accept:62)
The reason is the assignment of the variable, expected to be defined in another
(not yet included template). Remove the text marked as
{color:#de350b}red{color} and it succeeds.
*Expected*: not an NPE, but a useful error message pointing to the problem.
