Confuser.Cli fails with NullRefereenceException

[derekbartram]

Running Confuser.CLI.exe

generates...

[ERROR] Unknown error occurred. Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Confuser.Core.ConfuserEngine.RunInternal(ConfuserParameters parameters, CancellationToken token) in c:\projects\confuserex\Confuser.Core\ConfuserEngine.cs:line 79 Failed at 12:07, 0:00 elapsed.

context.BaseDirectory = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, parameters.Project.BaseDirectory.TrimEnd(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar) + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);

As an annoying secondary issue, when running from a Cruise Control .Net build with NANT, this causes a 'press enter to close' prompt which then locks the build up.

I cannot not reproduce the error here. What command line arguments did you used? You can specifies "-n" option to have no pause when it finishes. (Note that this function is broken at the moment, you can get the fixed version at the build server)

I just used Confuser.CLI.exe

Unfortunately I cannot give you the actual paths and file names for commercial reasons. The input dll is a .Net 3.5 assembly which has references to other files in the same directory. The source and output directories are both on the c drive.

Problem occurs both from NANT and from user command line.

The -n flag is useful to know, thanks.

I suppose you're using declarative obfuscation? Most likely it is caused by invalid input arguments. Please check if your command line matches the syntax:

Confuser.CLI.exe -o <output directory> <input files>

For example:

Confuser.CLI.exe -o C:\App\Confused C:\App\Application.exe

User error... was missing the -o flag.
