Webpage retriever XML error after upgrading to 5.3.

I am not sure if this is an upgrade problem or something other, but I now get an error when using the Webpage Retriever and try to download something in an XML-format. The error I get is the following:

“Execute failed: Cannot invoke “String.length()” because the return value of “org.knime.core.data.xml.XMLCellContent.getStringValue()” is null”

If I take out the “Output as XML” tab, the downloader works as expected, however the downstream tools of course won’t work when they are expecting XML.

Any ideas what might be the issue?

I confirmed the issue is with 5.3. after having run the workflow successfully with 5.2.5.

Hi @jrauhamaki,

sorry for the inconvenience. The issue will be fixed with 5.3.1, due to be released soon (internal ticket AP-22864 – you’ll find it in the changelog).

Best,
Manuel
