DiamondOperatorForVariableDefinitionCheck throws NullPointerException

[stephanenicolas]

When running 'com.github.sevntu.checkstyle:sevntu-checks:1.13.0', we get a stack trace :

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.github.sevntu.checkstyle.checks.coding.DiamondOperatorForVariableDefinitionCheck.isSameTypeArgsInVariableDef(DiamondOperatorForVariableDefinitionCheck.java:86)
    at com.github.sevntu.checkstyle.checks.coding.DiamondOperatorForVariableDefinitionCheck.visitToken(DiamondOperatorForVariableDefinitionCheck.java:65)
    at com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.TreeWalker.notifyVisit(TreeWalker.java:393)
    at com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.TreeWalker.processIter(TreeWalker.java:482)
    at com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.TreeWalker.walk(TreeWalker.java:322)

The problem comes from :

    private static boolean isSameTypeArgsInVariableDef(DetailAST variableDefNode,
            DetailAST typeArgs) {

        DetailAST typeNode = variableDefNode.findFirstToken(TokenTypes.TYPE);
        DetailAST variableDefTypeArgs = typeNode.findFirstToken(TokenTypes.TYPE_ARGUMENTS);

        return variableDefTypeArgs.equalsTree(typeArgs);        // <---     variableDefTypeArgs is null
    }

Btw, we have a lot of constructs using

Type<A> t = new Type<A> {}, that might be where it fails.

@stephanenicolas , thanks a lot.

If you can send share with us exact file - it will be great help, we will recheck code chunk that you have provided.

[romani]

@stephanenicolas , we already have that case in our UTs - https://github.com/sevntu-checkstyle/sevntu.checkstyle/blob/master/sevntu-checks/src/test/resources/com/github/sevntu/checkstyle/checks/coding/InputDiamondOperatorForVariableDefinitionCheck.java#L62 , works fine.

please provide exact file to reproduce a problem, you can obfuscate code if you afraid to share source.

reproduced on code:
Class<?>[] resolvedInterfaces = new Class<?>[5];

and

RuleViolation ruleViolation = new ParametricRuleViolation<Object>();

Thx guys, I couldn't have shared the code.
