#182 Build fails with NPE (project Spoofax on YellowGrass.org)

Sometimes a non-clean build of a language fails with a NPE. After cleaning the project the build succeeds.

This looks like a Pluto issue, since it is returning a null value somewhere it shouldn’t. Investigating the issue with Sebastian.

On 10 April 2017 at 11:47 Gabriël Konat commented:

This should be fixed in the latest development version, please reopen if this is not the case.
