NullPointerException using Sahi Ant Task w/o browserProcessName

Thragor

Hello,

I had to figure out the cause of an exception I got when changing from Sahi Version in June to Sahi Version (V2) in October:

java.lang.NullPointerException
     at java.net.URLEncoder.encode(URLEncoder.java:188)
     at net.sf.sahi.test.TestRunner.encode(TestRunner.java:206)
     at net.sf.sahi.test.TestRunner.execute(TestRunner.java:130)
     at net.sf.sahi.ant.RunSahiTask.startServer(RunSahiTask.java:95)
     at net.sf.sahi.ant.RunSahiTask.execute(RunSahiTask.java:76)
...

I had to look into the source code to get the reason for this: RunSahiTask seems to define a new property browserProcessName which has no default value. But encode(browserProcessName) is called which fails with the NPE above.

I expect that browserProcessName should be something like the name of the process in the Task List. Thus I set it to iexplore for Internet Explorer and firefox for Firefox. Don't know if this is ok.

Can somebody provide some more details? The page "Automating running of multiple tests/running in batch mode" (sorry, I am not allowed to post the URL) seems to be outdated by the way as it doesn't mention browserProcessName.

Regards,
Mark
