########## File path: src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugins/pmd/exec/PmdExecutor.java ########## @@ -429,7 +430,7 @@ private void writeFormattedReport( Report report ) throws MavenReportException { Renderer renderer = createRenderer( request.getFormat(), request.getOutputEncoding() ); - writeReport( report, renderer, request.getFormat() ); + writeReport( report, renderer, renderer.defaultFileExtension() ); Review comment: Here a NPE might occur (and it does in the integration test multi-module), if the request format "none" is used, which means "no report" - and then there is no renderer. Since write report is a private method, I'll change that to determine the file extension after the check that we have a renderer. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
