Did anyone have already encountered the same error ? and have found a solution to put back JIRA on it's feets.

Hi Jonathan,

The first thing I would do since this is a custom add-on is see if you're cfname is being set to NULL at any point. If so there is a bug that you can find at Prevent the method updateCustomField() from accepting NULL values:

Problem Definition

The method updateCustomField(Long id, String name, String description, CustomFieldSearcher searcher)() mentioned in this documentation allows NULL values for the name parameter.

If this method is called by a script that passes a NULL value for the name parameter, a 500 error will be returned when accessing any page in JIRA except the admin section, as shown in the screenshot below:

For this reason, the method updateCustomField() should not allow null values.

Hopefully that's all that's going on at this point. If that is the case please vote on JRASERVER-65856 to add impact and make the necessary changes to your code.

If that is not the issue you're running into paste the code you're working with and we 'll go from there.

Cheers,

Branden

Hello @somethingblue

Thanks for your response; It helped me a lot.

You were right, there were cfname values at null in the database (in the customfield table) , after fixing this there were no more null pointer exception from custom fields cache at jira startup.

Theses null values were generated by my plugin, witch create custom fields when the plugin is enabled (with customFieldManager.createCustomField(...)). Now I working on fixing the creation of custom fields to avoid creating customfields with no cfname.

I don't use the method updateCustomField so i don't think my issue is related to JRASERVER-65856. However after fixing my plugin i will add feedback about the use of the createCustomField method.
