Hi,
sorry for the delayed response... holidays...
yes, this is a stupid bug. The greedy anchoring is a rather new
feature and I missed to add some unit tests combining it with composed
(disjunctive/conjunctive) rule elements. Those exploit the normal rule
inference as a look ahead by providing a null ruleApply.
I will fix it asap next week. Thanks for reporting it :-)
Best,
Peter

Hi,
I'm getting the following exception in RUTA:

Going through the trace, I can't see how that could ever not cause an
NPE:
ComposedRuleElement.java:83 calls startMatch(extendedMatch, null,
composedMatch, this, stream, crowd), providing null for ruleApply,
which is
ultimately dereferenced at RutaRuleElement.java:130
Am I using some strange language construct that causes it to go down
some
unexpected branch?
Thanks,
Valentin
