S-1 subset using geographical coordinates with snappy

I am having trouble with creating the Subset Sentinel-2, but I assume the Topic is entirely the same so I would like to ask the question in here.

I have tried to run The snappy example from GitHub

But got this error:

It is possible that this error is also related to s2tbx.GDALInstaller error as I have tried to use gpt tool with same Sentinel-2 product and WKT geoRegion and got this error instead:

Error: java.lang.NullPointerException

@marpet if you have a moment, would you be willing to look into it with me? I noticed that the last commit to snappy_subset.py example has failed jenkins tests.

This is where I got so far:
If I run the code line by line in Jupyter Lab, I can open the product and work with it. The code always hangs on the same line

sub_product = op.getTargetProduct()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RuntimeError                              Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-19-03cefc25ad88> in <module>
----> 1 sub_product = op.getTargetProduct()

RuntimeError: java.lang.NullPointerException

Most strangely, if I resample the product first

product = ProductIO.readProduct(file)

parameters = HashMap()
parameters.put('targetResolution',10)
result = snappy.GPF.createProduct('Resample', parameters, product)

op = SubsetOp()
op.setSourceProduct(result )
op.setGeoRegion(geom)
op.setCopyMetadata(True)

sub_product = op.getTargetProduct()

Everything just works! Can anyone make sense of it? Thanks for any help.
