"String input must not be null"

[freedome97]

In a recent issue (#52 ), the login for KIT Illias wasn't working. Thankfully it got patched and seems to work.

But I compiled the new source code and since then I receive an Null-String Error while the structure is building.
Tried to backtrace and fix it but did not find the solution. Any ideas?

• which branch are you trying to build?
• against which jdk version?
• did you try to delete the settings folder? --> C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.ilias

Sorry, forgot to mention those. This is my first issue on GitHub.

• I built the "develop" branch since it´s the only one with the fix for "KIT Illias"
• echo %java_home% >> jdk1.8.0_271
• Yes, and it threw more errors, saying that it´s missing those files:

looks good - if you start again the errors should go away (they are not a problem at all;))
does it work now?

Yeah I know, just a hint for eventual except-handlers :D
And No :/ The "Refresh"-Button will keep spinning and nothings happens (No displayed courses or downloadable content).
Everything worked just fine before KIT changed their login thingy.

Edit: Also does the "String Null" Error remain.

Update: This is odd. It seems like the String is Null, since the parser can not find any "h4" references inside the document/webpage provided.

Interestingly, even tough the program says that I am "successfully logged in", the webpage it is parsing is the one from the University Konstanz and not Karlsruhe. Therefore lands on the main page and due to fail in login can not parse.

Any idea how to fix this? Sadly, I have no idea in HTML programming or where this error could come from.

• check if you changed the value of project.university to kit here:

  iliasDownloaderTool/pom.xml

  Line 12 in c7ca12a

  <project.university>ube</project.university>

• check if you have the right plugin class here:

  iliasDownloaderTool/src/main/java/control/IliasManager.java

  Line 14 in c7ca12a

  // this.ilias = new KITIlias();

I guess there is the problem. Changing this params might not be that obvious from the documentation - should be added probably :)

I knew I had to change something, but did not find the second change I had to make.
Works now. Thanks for the help 👍 :)
