I am using RegisterGroovy to register a script when my Database opens.

The problem I'm having is that the registered script gives me the following error unless I make a EvaluateGroovy call before using the registered script:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method evaluate() on null object

Parameters:

{}

---Script---

Once I make a EvaluateGroovy call the registered script starts working correctly. The weird thing is the EvaluateGroovy call doesn't need to have anything to do with the registered script. For now to patch the problem, I have added a line to the end of my open script that just has EvaluateGroovy return the verison of FileMaker:

EvaluateGroovy("version = fmpro.evaluate('Get(ApplicationVersion)')" )

Any ideas why the registered script won't run until EvaluateGroovy is used?

Thanks,

Salvador

I've never heard of this happening - could you try doing it again without that line to fix it, and then post the log file here? The log file locations are listed here:

Here the log file:

It look like the problem has something to do with the newly registered script not being able to deal with the text Parameters I'm passing it.

Hi Salvador - thanks for posting that error log. I've posted a new version, 2.02, which I think will fix the problem. Please try that version and let me know if that is fixed.

Jesse

I installed version, 2.02 and the problem has gone away. Thanks for the quick fix and AMAZING plugin.

Sal

Excellent. Thank you! :-)
