Hi Martin, There definitely should not be a NullPointerException, but the behavior you are describing is not how the processor is designed to work. The setup method that is running needs to load a specific script file from the filesystem. This method runs before any flow files arrive to the processor, so it is not able to evaluate dynamic attributes from the flow file. However, it can still use Expression Language to take advantage of variables defined in the variable registry or environment variables.
To execute arbitrary scripts per flow file (which I really don’t recommend), you would need to use a static harness script which examines each incoming flow file, determines the respective script file, and executes it.
