Problem:

Why do I get error "java.rmi.RemoteException: getNode(): nodeId = xxx null"?

Resolution:

This issue could occur if the "legacyName" attribute is used in the plugins created for nunit, junit and wsh test definitions types.

To resolve this error one would need to delete this attribute ["legacyName="your_value"] from the configuration XML file "your_plugin_name.xml".

If you are using the above attribute in your plugin, then calling a method (e.g. getNode()) on the test definition created using that plug-in may result in following exception:

AxisFault
faultCode:{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope} Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: java.rmi.RemoteException: getNode(): nodeId = 90. null

Please note: after deleting the attribute "legacyName" from your configuration xml file, the existing test definitions of the plugin-type won"t work so one would need to create new test definitions.
