We have a job which triggers three other jobs and aggregates their test results using post build actions:
- Aggregate post build test results (german: "Nachgelagerte Testergebnisse zusammenfassen")
- [x] Aggregate all post build jobs
- [x] Aggregate failed build result
- Build jobs (german: "Weitere Projekte bauen")
- [x] trigger only on build success
- [ ] trigger even when build is instable
- [ ] trigger even when build fails
When starting this job it fails quickly with an NullPointer exception:
Started by user anonymous

The aggregation is crucial for our dashboard which displays the overall testresults history chart.
P.S.: Sorry, I only use the german translation, so I just guessed the actual english configuration lables above.
