Re: [jgit-dev] [egit-dev] history view null pointer

A suspicious piece of coding is at releaseGenerateHistoryJob on GitHistoryPage:

 

                    if (job.getState() != Job.NONE)

                           job.cancel();

                    job.release();

 

The job is released and subsequently the SWTCommitList is disposed although the job.cancel() may not have been effective.

 

But with https://git.eclipse.org/r/6210 the problem should be solved, too.

I have pushed an EGit fix for this NPE to Gerrit targeting stable-2.0: https://git.eclipse.org/r/6210


Thanks for reporting it,

Kevin

hey

i today switched to latest master jgit and egit, and i now have a very well reproducible (occurring every time i switch to the history view now) null pointer exception. the .log contains:

seems that for _some_ reason the walker is null in that case... i saw that the method is resetting that field, and immediately thought of multi-threading, so i added a synchronized to all methods of RevCommitList that set the walker. this may not be "the" fix, but it works better now (i saw no more NPEs). if this indeed is a valid fix (i doubt that ;)), tell me and i push it.
