Common Errors
Exception Message:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Exception invoking method DisableEmitter on class InterfaceSteps.
Issue:
The error message received when using an incorrect ID provides no hints regarding the underlying issue.
Reason:
This error occurs when an invalid or non-existent ID is used for the Enable Emitter/Receiver or Disable Emitter/Receiver steps. As a result, the object reference is not properly set, leading to the exception.
Fix:
While the Flow continues, any warnings will be recorded in the Logging Dashboard under System > Administration > System Tools. If an invalid ID is specified for the Enable or Disable Emitter/Receiver steps, the Flow will proceed, but a log entry will indicate that the emitter ID was not found.
