[NETCONF-210] Yangtools Null Pointer when running a binding API call to a mounted device with a new model

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 07:38:40 +0000

This is a continuation of NETCONF-70.

Two issues are put forward:
1) The 4350 defect is not actually adequately solved by the 4577 fix, which provides an impractical workaround (it is not realistic to expect an operator/user to mount and maintain a separate cache for each device)
2) Tests with the 4577 fix in Beryllium show that the problem is still there, although at a different point, with a null exception error.

The scenario for this is to have a binding aware app, which uses device-model version X, attempt to commit via mounted netconf a configuration on a device running device-model version Y (Y>X).
