java.lang.NullPointerException when running a check

[amoeba]

I am able to get an NPE when I run this (apparently) malformed, single-check suite:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<suite>
    <id>test-lter-suite.1.1</id>
    <name>mdqengine provisional test suite for LTER</name>

  <check>
        <id>check-entity.1.1</id>
        <name>entityNameLength</name>
        <description>Length of entity name is less than 100 characters.</description>
        <environment>python</environment>
        <dialect>
            <name>eml</name>
            <xpath>boolean(/*[local-name() = 'eml'])</xpath>
        </dialect>
        <type>metadata</type>
        <level>INFO</level>
        <selector>
            <name>entityNames</name>
            <xpath>/eml/dataset/dataTable/entityName</xpath>
    </selector>
        <code><![CDATA[
def call():
    mdq_result = {}
      ]]></code>
    </check>
</suite>

Here's my output:

I haven't looked into why this is yet.

I believe this is fixed now.
