JIRA NullPointerException when switching Workflow scheme

Loredana

Hi all,

I have a problem since I imported a workflow as xml and assigned it to a production project. The workflow itself worked fine on my test system and also looked fine as a diagramm in production.

I noticed in production that in the Workflow Text-Modus 3 Step-Names are not linked with the proper Status and 2 don't have any:

Now, although I changed this missfits, I can't assign the new Workflow (Workflow-Scheme) or the old one to the Project, since I keep getting the same java.lang.NullPointerException:

Cause:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Stack Trace: [hide]

Can anyone help please?

Problem solved:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/%27NullPointerException+in+SelectProjectWorkflowSchemeStep2.getNumAffectedIssues%27+Due+to+Workflow+Step+that+Doesn%27t+Have+a+Linked+Status?src=search

Two steps had no linked statuses, therefore the nullpointer exception.

I created two temporary statuses (Administration >> Issue Settings >> Statuses > Add New Status). These new statuses automatically got the id's that were missing, and that the pointer was pointing to. After that the exception was gone and I could replace the scheme.

try with the jelly script

&lt;JiraJelly xmlns:jira="jelly:com.atlassian.jira.jelly.enterprise.JiraTagLib" xmlns:core="jelly:core" xmlns:log="jelly:log"&gt;
 
  &lt;!-- Grab managers. Do it using ComponentAccessor now which gives better compatibility in Jira 5! r --&gt;
  &lt;core:invokeStatic className="com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor" method="getWorkflowSchemeManager" var="workflowSchemeManager"/&gt;
  &lt;core:invokeStatic className="com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor" method="getProjectManager" var="projectManager"/&gt;
 
 
  &lt;!-- Get the project with key "MYPROJECT" using ProjectManager --&gt;
  &lt;core:invoke on="${projectManager}" method="getProjectObjByKey" var="project"&gt;
    &lt;core:arg type="java.lang.String" value="MYPROJECT"/&gt;
  &lt;/core:invoke&gt;
&lt;log:warn&gt;Project ${project} found&lt;/log:warn&gt;
 
  &lt;!-- Get the workflow scheme "myScheme" --&gt;
  &lt;core:invoke on="${workflowSchemeManager}" method="getSchemeObject" var="scheme"&gt;
    &lt;core:arg type="java.lang.String" value="myScheme"/&gt;
  &lt;/core:invoke&gt;
&lt;log:warn&gt;Scheme ${scheme} found&lt;/log:warn&gt;
 
  &lt;!-- Assign scheme to project --&gt;
  &lt;core:invoke on="${workflowSchemeManager}" method="addSchemeToProject" &gt;
    &lt;core:arg  value="${project}"/&gt;
    &lt;core:arg  value="${scheme}" /&gt;
  &lt;/core:invoke&gt;
 
 
&lt;/JiraJelly&gt;

The Jelly Script didn't work:

Could not run script.
