Should a String's isNullOrEmpty() count as a null check in an if... else block?

if(bridgeName == null || bridgeName.isEmpty()) {
			errors.put("add-search-name","Name must not be blank")
		} else {
			if(4 > bridgeName.length) {

			}

works fine, but if I replace the if condition with

if(bridgeName.isNullOrEmpty())

the name length check isn't null safe.

See this issue, it's targeted for `1.2-Beta`: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issueMobile/KT-14397

Ah. Makes sense when you read the ticket.

Actually, I thought Kotlin 1.2 was already released?
