Reading context param

[Anonymous]

Greetings:

I am trying to read file name as an input from context param and pass it to s3Get to read it from a bucket. I tried using s3List and s3Get to read files and it works fine. But my requirement is to read a file that is given through command line argument. I am getting NullPointer exception when the code is trying to look for the context param in the context. I ran the debugger and found the following code acting weird. I appreciate any help. 

if (inContext == null) {
inContext = S3ReadFile.class.getClassLoader()
.getResourceAsStream("config/contexts/" + contextStr + ".properties");
}
if (inContext != null) {
// defaultProps is in order to keep the original context value
if (context != null && context.isEmpty()) {
defaultProps.load(inContext);
context = new ContextProperties(defaultProps);
}

inContext.close();
} else if (!isDefaultContext) {
// print info and job continue to run, for case: context_param is not empty.
System.err.println("Could not find the context " + contextStr);
}

I am using Studio for Data Integration v7.3. Here are my project details.

How are you passing parameters from the command line? Did you try "–context_param yourParameter=whatYouWant"?

Yes, that is what I tried. I also tried setting up prompt value to test run from the studio. Same error both times.

You have to connect tS3Get to tS3Connection to ensure tS3Get starts after the connection has been established:
tS3Connection--(OnComponentOk)-->tS3Get

S3Get is not using existing connection. I have connection details given
with in S3Get. I don't really need tS3Connection.

So what if you really remove tS3Connection?

I just tried that too. Same issue.
