[jira] [Resolved] (COLLECTIONS-513) NullPointerException in SwitchTransformer.transform

Thomas Neidhart resolved COLLECTIONS-513.
-----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

This is not a bug.

The constructor of SwitchTransformer states that the array of predicates must not contain null values:

{noformat}
     * @param predicates  array of predicates, cloned, no nulls
{noformat}

but the provided array of predicates is an array with one null value.

I think the way these tests are created are flawed:

{noformat}
        org.apache.commons.collections4.set.CompositeSet var1 = new org.apache.commons.collections4.set.CompositeSet(
                var0);
        org.apache.commons.collections4.functors.UniquePredicate var2 = new org.apache.commons.collections4.functors.UniquePredicate();
        org.apache.commons.collections4.Predicate[] var3 = new org.apache.commons.collections4.Predicate[] { var2 };
        java.lang.Object[] var4 = var1.toArray((java.lang.Object[]) var3);
{noformat}

Here var1 is an empty set, whose contents are copied into an object array var4. But the toArray() method is called with an non-empty array, which will be modified by the toArray() call and result in this 1-element array with a null value.

I fail to see what this tries to test, as the result of this operation will be in any case wrong

> A relatively complex test case generated by Randoop results in a NullPointerException in SwitchTransformer.transform.
> I'm not sure if this is an incorrect usage of the method, or if it is a real bug.
