Error occurring when selecting node
I'm working on an email template and I have data definition field for the font size of the document. I was able to place this snippet of code in one of my format which is the body of the email:
#set( $fontSize = $_MathTool.toInteger(${_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($contentRoot, '/system-data-structure/body-font').value}))
then I just place ${fontSize}
into the
corresponding sections of the format.
I have the email styles in a separate format and I attempted to do the same thing but I got this error
An error occurred: Could not transform with Script format "emails/assets/Style": org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'selectSingleNode' in class org.jdom.xpath.JaxenXPath threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at velocityTransform-1465235137313[line 63, column 49]
Do I have to use a different xpath expression to locate the node without error?

Hi Matthew,
Generally, you will see this error when attempting to use
$contentRoot
without applying an Index Block to the region along with the format. If there is no Index Block applied,$contentRoot
is effectively anull
object, so the XPath Tool method will throw an error.When you have a moment, please verify if you have an Index Block applied to the region.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

I actually do not. Neither does my other region and seems to work without a calling page block. When I do add an index block to my style format it does work though.

Thank you form confirming, Matthew. If your other region is DEFAULT, the format is working because this region is slightly different in that if no Index Block is assigned the page's structured data will be applied to the
$contentRoot
variable.Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Not a problem at all, Matthew. Glad to hear I was able to point you in the right direction.
I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional questions.
Have a great day!
