The Situation
- I opened 2 or more GMF editors.
- The focus is in the editor that has at least one diagram.

When I move focus to other editor that doesn't have any diagram yet, I got 2 Exceptions like below.

#1 Exception
org.eclipse.core.runtime.AssertionFailedException: null argument:
at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Assert.isNotNull(Assert.java:85)
at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Assert.isNotNull(Assert.java:73)
at org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.render.internal.commands.CopyImageCommand.<init>(CopyImageCommand.java:96)
at org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.render.internal.providers.ImageSupportGlobalActionHandler$1.<init>(ImageSupportGlobalActionHandler.java:104)
at org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.render.internal.providers.ImageSupportGlobalActionHandler.getCopyCommand(ImageSupportGlobalActionHandler.java:104)
......
This happens because diagramPart.getDiagram() in org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.render.internal.providers.ImageSupportGlobalActionHandler.getCopyCommand(ImageSupportGlobalActionHandler.java:104 returns null if the diagramPart doesn't have any diagram yet.

#2 Exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.actions.internal.ShowConnectionLabelsAction.createOperationSet(ShowConnectionLabelsAction.java:84)
.......
This happens because getDiagramEditPart() in at org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.actions.internal.ShowConnectionLabelsAction.createOperationSet(ShowConnectionLabelsAction.java:84) returns null if the the diagramPart doesn't have any diagram yet.

So, I think those 2 errors had better be fixed.
Thank you.

Hi MyungWoon,

there could be something misconfigured in the diagram, your are testing.
GMF creates the Notation-Diagram and its Domain-Model-counterpart upon every Diagram-creation.
Since these elements define the very root of your models, they should never be deleted.
GMF usually takes care that this won't happen.

Please check your generated

XXXDiagramEditorUtil.createDiagram(URI diagramURI, URI modelURI,IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)

to ensure everything will be created properly on diagram-creation.

So the case you are describing, the DiagramEditPart's query for its Notation-Diagram resulting in a NPE, should never happen.
Did you modify any code, that could possibly corrupt your models?

Regards
Thomas
