Obscure DIS Validator issue

Hi Dojo,

I have an issue raised in my validator and I'm developing on the exact same commit as someone else who doesn't see this issue. I understand its probably a problem w my local environment but I'm uncertain how to debug this.

Critical: Unexpected exception in Test 'CSharpNotifyProtocolNtFillArrayWithColumn': System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I would be glad if there was any direction I should take to fix it.

I was recommended to update DIS to the latest version 3.1.14 (I was running 3.1.7) Typically I got notifications in visual studio to update my DIS version but I think the notification was ignored. The update fixes the issue.

Hi Joshua, can you verify whether you are running the latest version of DIS?

Version 1.4.1 of the Skyline.CICD.Validators package fixed an issue regarding a possible NullReferenceException in CSharpNotifyProtocolNtFillArrayWithColumn (see Release Notes) which corresponds with your stack trace.

As of DIS version 3.1.12, DIS ships with a version of the Skyline.CICD.Validators package that includes this fix (see Release Notes).
