NPE in ADWEB

[Stan Huang]

Hi Abhinav,

I'm still getting the error with v1.8.3, unfortunately.

• I created a new, simple project (BUG) using the "Basic software development" template.
• ADWEB is NOT configured for this project.
• I created one issue in that project, using all default values except for the Summary, which I set to "Summary"
• I added a workflow transition that loops from TO DO -> TO DO and associated that transition with a post function script:

package com.onresolve.jira.groovy.test.scriptfields.scripts

import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import groovy.transform.CompileStatic
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.IssueResult
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters
import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

@CompileStatic
private static void testBug(Issue issue, Logger log)
{
    log.debug 'Entered testBug'
    String issueKey = 'BUG-1'
    IssueService issueSvc = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
    IssueInputParameters issueInParams = issueSvc.newIssueInputParameters()
    ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
    log.debug 'Initialization complete'

    IssueService.IssueResult issueRslt = issueSvc.getIssue(user, issueKey)
    Issue theIssue = issueRslt.getIssue()
    log.debug issueKey + ' retrieved'
    issueInParams.setRetainExistingValuesWhenParameterNotProvided(true)
    issueInParams.setSkipScreenCheck(true)

    log.debug 'IssueInputParameters configured'
    IssueService.UpdateValidationResult updateValidRslt = issueSvc.validateUpdate(user, theIssue.getId(), issueInParams)

    log.debug 'validUpdate completed'
    if (!updateValidRslt.isValid())
        return

    log.debug 'IIP validated'
    return
}

log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)


testBug(this.issue, this.log)
return

When executing this code, I get this error in the log:

Additional observations:

• If I disable the ADWEB add on (across the entire JIRA instance), the error does not occur, even though ADWEB is not even setup for this project.
• If I re-enable ADWEB, the error occurs.
• If I do not call setSkipScreenCheck(true) in the script above, this error does not happen.

I'm running:

• Atlassian JIRA Project Management Software v7.1.1 
• Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA v4.3
• ADWEB JIRA Role Based Estimations and Tracking v1.8.3

Let me know if I can provide any more information.

thanks.

Thanks for the detailed post Stan, from this I was able to replicate locally & have uploaded a new version of the plugin that should no longer throw this Null Pointer Error.

Thanks.
