This only fixes the crash when running an scratchpad analysis with a loaded projects including addons. It will now show an error instead.

The execute function is not available in that context and it requires some refactoring. But I think that is something to look into in the context of https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/13976.

I moved the checks from the executor tests as the code being tested was not specific to those classes and actually lives in CppCheck.

hmm.. ideally I would like to make it clear that it's a bug in cppcheck. The user should not start looking for some command callback options. but I don't have a very good suggestion..

Well - it should never happen. It's kind of akin to "unreachable" code.

why isn't this reported to the errorlogger. GUI does not capture stderr. And plugins will probably not write this. So the user will have no clue why it does not work.

Because that was never properly implemented for this. It's the same in another cases and there's TODOs in the code. Will check if we have tickets about this.
