Building the AST sometimes fails, throwing an exception about solidity-parser-antlr HOT 3 OPEN

Yes, this is the unfortunate result of trying to build an AST using tolerant mode. If the toleration extends beyond simple things like missing a semicolon into full parts of the tree missing (like the identifier with the contract name in this case) then we have to guard against that everywhere.

We should check if this is only a problem in the places where we are accessing getText() or requires a much bigger refactoring to handle every possible subnode not existing.

I just wrapped all calls to getText with a function that handles nulls, that should solve your error and several others. Leaving this open to investigate if there are similar issues triggered by more obscure syntax errors.

Thanks for the quick answer and fix fede 🙌🏻

I'll get back to this issue if I find this problem in other cases.
