#692 First MockResponseTestStep fails probably if there was no mock call before.

[Heiko Studt]

We try to start automatic testrunner with some MockResponse TestStep. After migrating to SSL we've got the following exception several times:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Following the installed code (5.2.x) the error seems to be in:
com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.WsdlMockResponseTestStep.internalRun(WsdlMockResponseTestStep.java:407)
where the messageExchange is created even for a null getLastResult(). At the end in the inheritance hierachy this is not valid anyway.

As the "Browse SVN" link is broken, I do not see how to access the real code or debug, so this is somewhat to verify.

In my opinion the following code should be changed:

AssertedWsdlMockResultMessageExchange messageExchange = new AssertedWsdlMockResultMessageExchange(
mockRunListener.getLastResult());
result.setMessageExchange(messageExchange);

        if (mockRunListener.getLastResult() != null) {
            lastResult = lastResultTemp;
            mockResponse.setMockResult(lastResult);

            context.setProperty(AssertedXPathsContainer.ASSERTEDXPATHSCONTAINER_PROPERTY, messageExchange);
            assertResult(lastResult, context);
        }

into

        WsdlMockResult lastResultTemp = mockRunListener.getLastResult();
        if (lastResultTemp != null) {
            AssertedWsdlMockResultMessageExchange messageExchange = new AssertedWsdlMockResultMessageExchange(
                    lastResultTemp);
            result.setMessageExchange(messageExchange);
            lastResult = lastResultTemp;
            mockResponse.setMockResult(lastResult);

            context.setProperty(AssertedXPathsContainer.ASSERTEDXPATHSCONTAINER_PROPERTY, messageExchange);
            assertResult(lastResult, context);
        } else {
             result.setMessageExchange(null); //TODO: Really?
        }
