Getting null object error

Hi,

As per the example ConsumerInfo consumer = new ConsumerInfo(); //file based broker approach - instead of cloud pact broker consumer.setName("Foo_Consumer");

    consumer.setPactFile(new File("C:/Suresh/att/microservices-pact-mvn-master/microservices-pact-maven-master/microservices-pact-consumer/target/pacts/Foo_Consumer-Foo_Provider.json"));
    Pact testConsumerPact = (Pact) new PactReader().loadPact(consumer.getPactFile());
    ProviderClient client = new ProviderClient();

    List<Interaction> interactions =  testConsumerPact.getInteractions();
    Interaction interaction1 = interactions.get(0);
    Map<?,?> clientResponse  = null;
    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
    Response res = new Response();
    //(int)clientResponse.get("statusCode")
    res.setStatus(200);
    try {
        clientResponse  = objectMapper.readValue(search.getUsername(), Map.class);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        result.setMsg(e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.EXPECTATION_FAILED).body(result);

    }
    //(int) clientResponse.get("status")
    Map<String, Object> validationresult = (Map<String, Object>) ResponseComparison.compareResponse(res, clientResponse, 200, (Map) clientResponse.get("headers"), (String) clientResponse.get("data"));

The above line is throwing error null object exception.
