I’ll try to summarize again… Trying to fix NETBEANS-189 with PR 2820 which I believe currently fixes the problem. I’ve tried to capture details from the discussion in the ticket.
Change in present fix involves adding checks for null when a connection is not available and allows to progress without a connection, allowing basic sql auto completion without a connection. Review change request (which I tried to implement unsuccessfully) leads me to believe this to be a potentially larger architectural change out of scope of the original issue and should be addressed as separate ticket(s) and not hold up inclusion of the fix. If new issues are needed then I (or someone with more understanding) can raise them. I am looking to close out the review (with acceptance where applicable as I’m newer “commuter”) and submit for next release.
