With master build after make clean, fresh pull of today 21:30 pm 1) Create a firebird embedded db via the db creation wizard. 2) Attempt to create a new table using the table wizard - nothing happens In the console, I see : java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.star.wizards.db.DBMetaData.StringsFromResultSet(DBMetaData.java:966) at com.sun.star.wizards.db.DBMetaData.getCatalogNames(DBMetaData.java:985) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.Finalizer.<init>(Finalizer.java:63) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.TableWizard.buildSteps(TableWizard.java:245) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.TableWizard.startTableWizard(TableWizard.java:363) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.CallTableWizard$TableWizardImplementation.trigger(CallTableWizard.java:82) java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.star.wizards.db.DBMetaData.StringsFromResultSet(DBMetaData.java:966) at com.sun.star.wizards.db.DBMetaData.getCatalogNames(DBMetaData.java:985) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.Finalizer.<init>(Finalizer.java:63) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.TableWizard.buildSteps(TableWizard.java:245) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.TableWizard.startTableWizard(TableWizard.java:363) at com.sun.star.wizards.table.CallTableWizard$TableWizardImplementation.trigger(CallTableWizard.java:82) Alex
I see the same problem on Linux in master commit 95e95e0 fetched 2013-09-19, so setting status NEW. Meanwhile I wonder if a report from a Win or Mac user, positive or negaive, would get us closer to fixing the problem. Terry.
