Command Line Error: Object Reference Not Set

hagenl

I'm running SQL Compare from the Command Line to create a script for deploying objects into a (currently empty) database. The database uses SQL Authentication & the script is being saved to a network drive.

When I run the script, I receive the following error:

17:18:15.677|Fatal  |Command Line        |1  |Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
RedGate.Shared.Utils.CommandLine.FatalExecutionException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Using Verbose logging, this happens after the object differences are printed out + 2 Synchronization warnings are shown re: my user account.

Could someone point me in the direction of what might be causing this error to appear?

My mistake: the variable passed into the database name was null.

Would be nice if that error message were slightly more helpful, but problem resolved.
