knalli created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-33293 (Jira) Updater throws NullPointerException for labels Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: jira-plugin Created: 03/Mar/16 12:25 PM Environment: RHEL5 Jenkins ver. 1.642.2 Jira Plugin 2.2 Jenkins Job with an empty box of labels (and no checkmark) Priority: Minor Reporter: knalli Under a special job configuration situation the plugin throws an exception Mar 03, 2016 12:49:06 PM hudson.plugins.jira.Updater perform WARNING: Error updating JIRA issues. Saving issues for next build. java.lang.NullPointerException at hudson.plugins.jira.Updater.submitComments(Updater.java:177) at hudson.plugins.jira.Updater.perform(Updater.java:128) at hudson.plugins.jira.JiraIssueUpdater.perform(JiraIssueUpdater.java:64) at hudson.tasks.BuildStepCompatibilityLayer.perform(BuildStepCompatibilityLayer.java:78) at hudson.tasks.BuildStepMonitor$3.perform(BuildStepMonitor.java:45) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.perform(AbstractBuild.java:782) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.performAllBuildSteps(AbstractBuild.java:723) at hudson.model.Build$BuildExecution.post2(Build.java:185) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.post(AbstractBuild.java:668) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1763) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:410) As this do not change the job result, we had not noticed that at the beginning. However, this exception results into not saving the state (i.e. commenting on prior Jira issues). And this results into re-commenting on the same issue on every subsequented build. I've tracked down the exception a bit: Updater.java:177 can only throw a NPE if labels is NULL. And this is only possible, if the constructor has been filled with that one. As far as I read this right, the JiraIssueUpdater:61-67 is in charge. That's weired, because JiraIssueUpdate's contructor ensures the non-nullability of labels already. Does the plugin can be created bypassing the specific constructor? Otherwise it does not explain how labels can be null. My workaround is setting master as a label (which is okay for me). But it looks definitely like bug.
