Rules applied on (a lot of) existing transactions - Unrecoverable error

[ajoaris]

Bug description
I am running Firefly III version x.x.x, and my problem is:
Created a new rule, trigger on a multiple string description. Transaction well selected when creating it. Applying it on existing transactions produced an unrecoverable error.

Whoops! An error occurred.
Unfortunately, this error was not recoverable :(. Firefly III broke. The error is:

Argument 1 passed to FireflyIII\Factory\CategoryFactory::setUser() must be an instance of FireflyIII\User, null given, called in /var/www/html/app/TransactionRules/Actions/SetCategory.php on line 58

Steps to reproduce
As described above.

Could you extract a stacktrace from your logs please? I'm curious to learn where this code is called.

Wait never mind, I can't read. Will be fixed in the next release but it's a symptom of underlying problems so I'm curious what will happen in the future.

Fixed in the latest beta, I'm closing this for consistency's sake.
