Description

Hello,

When I call SetError method with a null value for the ErrorInfo parameter, it crashes the session.
This has been reproduced on Linux, but not on Windows where an error is displayed but the exception is correctly handled.

To reproduce the problem, in a service, add the following command in the service Command method:
new nvcmd().SetError("MY_SERVICE", 1, null);
return false;

It may be a NullPointerException in the nvcmd connector that is not correctly handled by the connector, and propagated in the server. Under Linux, it appears that this exception is not correctly caught.

  • Status changed from New to In Progress
  • Assignee set to Pierre Marc
  • Target version set to 4.7.001
  • Operating System changed from Linux to Any
  • Version changed from 4.7.000 to All

This will be corrected in the next release. Now a simple workarround is to not give a null string object as parameter.

The exception is managed now in the code. We also changed the exception management under linux, turning system signals into c++ exceptions so some segmentation fault can now be managed as exceptions. This increases the stability under linux.
