Initialization of Themes object raises an NPE in offline execution

[danielfernandez]

When using the Spring-enabled template engine (SpringTemplateEngine class) in an offline environment, a NullPointerException is raised by the Themes object constructor.

See http://forum.thymeleaf.org/Help-needed-with-TemplateProcessingException-Exception-evaluating-SpringEL-expression-td4026209.html

This happens because, in offline execution, no Spring RequestContext object is available.

Should be fixable by first checking whether we are in an online (IWebContext) or offline (IContext) scenario before creating the Themes instance.

Fixed in 2.0.18-SNAPSHOT.

See associated test: https://github.com/thymeleaf/thymeleaf-tests/blob/20130616/src/test/java/org/thymeleaf/tests/offline/OfflineTest.java

Reopening this. Due to a very weird issue during the packaging of 2.0.18 distribution jars, this is solved both in 2.0.18-SNAPSHOT and 2.0.19-SNAPSHOT, but not in 2.0.18 release. Tests went OK because they execute on the snapshot versions (both last 2.0.18-SNAPSHOT and first 2.0.19-SNAPSHOT contain the fix).

Will have to release 2.0.19 really soon in order to solve this (and the javascript inlining stuff at the core) definitively :-(

Nah, false alarm. 2.0.18 works just fine and this fix is correctly included. Closing again. Sorry!
