Description
new WebDriverProvider() {
public void initialize() {
throw new RuntimeException(); // or Error or something
}
}
... does not get reported. It's consumed because of a later NPE
The NPE is in StoryRunner, concerning member variable 'reporter' which is not set before use, in this situation.

See the Etsy tutorial. If you change the WebDriver sys-prop to 'DoesNotExist' and run the tests, you'll get the NPE described in this bug report.
It is because new FirefoxDriver() fails during the initialize() of WebDriverProvider as described, but that is totally hidden by a reference to StoryRunner.runner being null and causing a NPE.
