          [JENKINS-20201] Github plugin failure - NullPointerException when attempting do save job

          This is a major issue as you cannot configure any job.

          Reverting the version of this plugin and its dependencies did not work. I had to revert the Jenkins version back to 1.530 as when upgrading this plugin to the latest I also upgraded to Jenkins 1.536 when I had this problem.

          I'm having a similar problem.. I am hoping a bit of info will help...

          Versions (where I'm at now):
          Jenkins : 1.536
          Github API 1.44
          Github Plugin 1.8
          Jenkins Git Client : 1.4.4
          Jenkins Git Plugin : 2.0

          It's a bit hard to figure out which ones I need and what they each do, but this seems to be my minimum config. I have tried downgrading from 2.0 to an earlier version.. many errors during startup. In my case, I'll have to "wait it out" for a fix on my "current" machine. I have tried going back a few revs.. same problem.

          My stacktrace is pretty much identical to the one listed to start this issue.

          Let me know if you to try any specific things.. I have a machine I can experiment with for you.

          Oh.. adding the correct value in the GitHub project field does seem to fix it under this config..

          I don't know if there will be any ill-effects, but a work-around in my case was to just put the word "junk" in there to not get an exception.

          It at least lets me save and allows manual starting of jobs (I haven't checked for other problems caused by this).

          Should at least let you manage your server for now.

          Hi,

          I submitted a PR too, I had patched it for our install yesterday but didn't notice @sogabe's PR. I noticed that he has closed that so I submitted mine;

          https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-plugin/pull/34

          I wrapped the original code in a try/catch to allow for two cases; that the GithubProjectProperty couldn't be bound or that it could be bound but the tcc.projectUrl was still null, which I think was closer to the original intention of the method. I've also added in some logging too.

          I have upgraded jenkins today and i can not edit an existing job, or create a new job, i am stuck with this.

          Please let me know if there is any workaround for this issue.

          How can i downgrade the updated jenkins?
