Description rajivderas 2008-10-14 06:32:49 UTC

Created a py project in dev build 55 and tried to debug a file and set the breakpoint at the start of the file and when 
debugged it threw the following exception :

The raised nullpointer is due to impossibility of computing the source line so 
I am not able to reproduce with a sample of my own , so the problem may be related to the source you use , is it
possible to attach the sample you use to the ticket ? This would help me to understand why we got an invalid source line
instead of just fixing by ignoring null lines
 
thanks

Thanks for providing the sample using the 081014 nightly checkout on my linux box I have not been able to reproduce the
symptom.
Looking at the exception location , the reason of the exception is netbeans returning back a null line object to the
debugger when the startup line of the script is requested to show in the editor.
My advice here is to try with a more recent netbeans build.

I have attached the screen showing the NewPythonProject2.py in debug state on the first line of the script
