This issue was originally marked as duplicate of issue 136415, that is already resolved. This issue is still valid, so this seems to be another issue, but it might be related. Build: NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 (Build 200907230233) VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, 14.1-b02, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, 1.6.0_15-b03 OS: Linux, 2.6.29.6-desktop-2mnb, amd64 User Comments: incubos: Started JUnit test by Shift-F6 Stacktrace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.modules.gsf.testrunner.api.RootNodeChildren.displayReport(RootNodeChildren.java:168) at org.netbeans.modules.gsf.testrunner.api.RootNode.displayReport(RootNode.java:161) at org.netbeans.modules.gsf.testrunner.api.ResultPanelTree.displayReport(ResultPanelTree.java:204) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor173.invoke(GeneratedMethodAccessor173.java:0) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)
I can't reproduce this bug. Nevertheless, the NPE at org.netbeans.modules.gsf.testrunner.api.RootNodeChildren.displayReport(RootNodeChildren.java:168) means that runningSuiteNode is null. If so then an assertion error might be thrown before, but only in a case if assertions are enabled. We need see a generated error message to understand what is wrong. Please, restart IDE with the -J-ea option and publish info about assertion error here.
I can hardly reproduce the bug myself. Nevertheless, I'll turn on assertions for the IDE and if this thing happens again, I'll post the error message here. Thank you for your help.
I'll mark this issue as incomplete and random. Please, re-open this issue when additional info will be provided.
