Error laying out SQL

Hi Redgate Team,

formatting the following code will cause the error "Error laying out SQL"
The S from Select is highlighted and the error Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
SELECT
	cus.CustomerAlternateKey AS CustomerNumber
,	pro.ProductAlternateKey AS ProductNumber
,	pro.EnglishProductName AS ProductName
,	SUM(fisb.OrderQuantity) AS TotalOrderQuantity
,	SUM(fisb.DiscountAmount) AS TotalDiscountAmount
FROM
	dbo.FactInternetSalesBig AS fisb
INNER JOIN
	DimProduct AS pro
ON
	pro.ProductKey = fisb.ProductKey
INNER JOIN
	DimCustomer AS cus
ON
	cus.CustomerKey = fisb.CustomerKey
GROUP BY
	cus.CustomerAlternateKey, pro.ProductAlternateKey, pro.EnglishProductName
	OPTION(IGNORE_NONCLUSTERED_COLUMNSTORE_INDEX);
GO

Thanks for fixing this!

Regards
Torsten

    I get a similar error, and it highlights the first character of the script and says "Value cannot be null. Paramater name: token"

    I am getting the same error: lp3r2t728wgl.png
    It seems to happen on CREATE or ALTER scripts. If I change the above code to a DECLARE statement instead of a CREATE or ALTER PROCEDURE then it formats fine.

    The issue seams to be happening on Formatting Styles that are user-defined. If I change to one of the REDGATE STYLES in the "Formatting styles" window then the code is formatted correctly.

    This didn't start happening until I updated to 9.1.2.4363

    I believe I have found the option that is causing the bug. The option "Align data types and constraints" in the "Schema (DDL)" group seems to cause the provided styles to fail. If I uncheck this option on any of my custom styles, the error goes away.

    I just upgraded to 9.1.3.4467 today and I can no longer do "Format SQL" for a CREATE or ALTER PROCEDURE. (not sure if other statements cause it to fail).

        SQL Prompt was unable to complete this operation.
        Problem areas have been highlighted.
       
        Errors during parsing the script:
        Ln: 1 Col: 1 - Value cannot be null.
        Parameter name: token

    I now see that this issues has been around for a few days. Is there a fix coming out soon?

    Hi
    Yes, update from today to 9.1.3.4467 has same problem. But there is now a nice popup with the failure.

    Btw I opened a support call and this is logged as SP-6865  in their bug tracking system.

    @bauerju Is there a way of tracking this bug? That is, is there a public facing side to their bug tracking system? This one is a huge issue with me and I would like to keep a close eye on it's fix. If I would have know it existed, I would not have upgraded yet (and it's a pain to downgrade SQL Prompt...)
