Jenkins / Bug JENKINS-32694
NullPointerException at CreateTextFile.CreateFileTask.call()
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: Sanketh PB
Components: text-file-operations-plugin
Created: 31/Jan/16 3:43 PM
Priority: Critical Critical
Reporter: Noam Manos

On Windows 2008, when setting File Path =
My_Config.txt

It fails with Null pointer exception.

To resolve I use:
$

{WORKSPACE}

/My_Config.txt

Trace is:

Re: NullPointerException at CreateTextFile.CreateFileTask.call()

Having the same problem.

Only absolute path to file fixes the problem.
Please make the paths relative to $WORKSPACE

Re: NullPointerException at CreateTextFile.CreateFileTask.call()

This was implemented to use absolute paths. Sure, I will fix this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Introduced "Create at Workspace" checkbox. If this is enabled the specified file will be created at workspace directory.
It is allowed to create file at network drive or fixed drive, so I cannot by default create the file at workspace directory always.

Re: NullPointerException at CreateTextFile.CreateFileTask.call()

This change is unusable in UNIX-like systems, such as Linux where directory delimeter is a slash and not a backslash () like it is in Windows.
Currently the plugin assumes the OS is Windows and the delimiter is backslash ().

File Path: context/Dockerfile.ubuntu-14.04-extended
Create at Workspace: True
results in :

17:49:02 Creating/updating file at '/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/ubuntu-14.04-extended/workspace\context/Dockerfile.ubuntu-14.04-extended'
17:49:02 File does not exist at '/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/ubuntu-14.04-extended/workspace\context/Dockerfile.ubuntu-14.04-extended', new file will be created.
17:49:02 File successfully created/updated at /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/ubuntu-14.04-extended/workspace\context/Dockerfile.ubuntu-14.04-extended

This creates a direcotry named "workspace\context/" inside job.
Please fix.

Re: NullPointerException at CreateTextFile.CreateFileTask.call()

Using "create at workspace" with relative path or just specifying $

{WORKSPACE}

/path .... both ways work well in ver 1.3.1 in Linux.

Re: NullPointerException at CreateTextFile.CreateFileTask.call()
So it is probably related to Windows.
Also happens on  with  Jenkins 1.656.
