----------------------------------------
Summary: NPE when specifying nullable array in IDL
Key: AVRO-4164
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4164
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.12.0
Reporter: Jeppe Fihl-Pearson
When specifying a schema with a nullable array, a NPE is raised when trying to
convert the AVDL file to AVSC.
Minimal reproduction case:
{{schema Test;}}
{{record Test {}}
{{ array<int>? field = null;}}
{{}}}
When attempting to convert it to AVSC the following exception is emitted:
{quote}Exception in thread "main" org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read field "word" because "ctx" is null
