Null Pointer Exception while executing the scala pragrams

[thugliffe]

I get a null pointer exception while executing the sample code from the examples folder. The error is as :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Process finished with exit code 130

Am I missing something ??

Thanks for reporting this issue.
The examples assume that the project root folder is set as working directory when the programs are executed (the ./data/dummyLogFile.txt as specified in DemoStreamEnvironment must be found).
You can set the working directory in Intellij's "Run/Debug Configurations".

Please let me know if that works for you.

I did what you said but it is still giving me the same null pointer exception. The val webServer is resolving to null.

[fhueske]

So, the path <workingDir>/data/dummyLogFile.txt points to this file?

[thugliffe]

yes.

.You can also disable the local web frontend in this class:
https://github.com/dataArtisans/flink-streaming-demo/blob/master/src/main/scala/com/dataartisans/flink_demo/utils/DemoStreamEnvironment.scala

The current master does not have that issue any more, so you could also set
the Flink dependency of the example to 1.0-SNAPSHOT.

I found the cause for the exception. It was due to the default port 8081 being used by some other service. I changed the default port number in the file DemoStreamEnvironment.scala by adding the following code segment and it worked like a charm.

config.setInteger(ConfigConstants.JOB_MANAGER_WEB_PORT_KEY,9999)

Thanks for your help.
