Paul Hammant commented on JBEHAVE-400:
--------------------------------------
See the Etsy tutorial. If you change the WebDriver sys-prop to 'DoesNotExist'
and run the tests, you'll get the NPE described in this bug report.
It is because new FirefoxDriver() fails during the initialize() of
WebDriverProvider as described, but that is totally hidden by a reference to
StoryRunner.runner being null and causing a NPE.
