NPE - Cannot invoke "org.pac4j.core.profile.definition.ProfileDefinition.newProfile(Object[])"

[djtfmartin]

Im seeing the following error in development, typically on restarting an application. This is with the spring boot 3 branch.

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.pac4j.core.profile.definition.ProfileDefinition.newProfile(Object[])" because the return value of "org.pac4j.oidc.profile.creator.OidcProfileCreator.getProfileDefinition()" is null
