Transient RULE_ERROR

I wish I could provide more information, but the error is transient and therefore cannot be deterministically reproed.

PowerShell version: 6.2.1
PSScriptAnalyzer version: 1.18.3
OS Version: Ubuntu 1604

PSScriptAnalyzer is failing occasionally with the following error:

Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At /source/.build/Assert-ValidStyle.ps1:21 char:11

Inizia da .build/Assert-ValidStyle.ps1 e dalla chiamata a Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer, quindi esamina powershell-helpers.psm1 e il contesto RULE_ERROR segnalato. Prova a eseguire il comando sul repository con PowerShell 6.2.1 e PSScriptAnalyzer 1.18.3; il lavoro è completato quando il fallimento intermittente dovuto a un riferimento nullo è stato identificato e prevenuto.
