Description
When I try to run Saxon Java 12.4 EE or SaxonCS 12.4 from the command line to validate the attached XML against the attached XSD schema, the validation error is found fine.
However, when I try to use -report:report.xml to have Saxon generate a validation report, it fails with java.lang.NullPointerException for Saxon EE Java and System.NullReferenceException for SaxonCS.

Fatal error during validation: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I file that on category command line as the only schema related category "Schema conformance" doesn't seem adequate for the Saxon specific validation report. But the error seems to occur as well in C# code trying to use the SaxonCS API to generate a validation report.

- Category changed from Command Line to Internals
- Status changed from New to In Progress
- Applies to branch trunk added
Thanks, problem reproduced.
It's failing because a uniqueness constraint violation doesn't have any associated path property.
I should certainly change the invalidity reporting so it doesn't fail if there is no path property on the invalidity. I should also look at whether it's possible to add this property to uniqueness violations.

- Subject changed from Saxon 12.4 (tested with both Java EE and SaxonCS EE) with XSD based validation finds a validation error but hits a NullPointerException when trying to generate a validation report to XSD based validation finds a validation error but hits a NullPointerException when trying to generate a validation report
- Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
- Assignee set to Michael Kay
- Fix Committed on Branch 12, trunk added
I made both changes: the reporting no longer crashes if no path is available, but this particular error (and a few others similar to it) now include path information in the error details.
