      We've some jobs which check for repo changes only without any build step. They are used to trigger some downstream jobs.

      But instead of triggering the jobs they fire this NPE:

      First time build. Skipping changelog.
      Warning: you have no plugins providing access control for builds, so falling back to legacy behavior of permitting any downstream builds to be triggered
      FATAL: null
      java.lang.NullPointerException

      There are a lot of JENKINS-Issues related to similar problems. But all of them are resolved fixed, cannot reproduce, or duplicated. So this seems to be a new problem.

          [JENKINS-25758] NPE when triggering downstream job (again)

          Daniel Beck added a comment -

          This looks a lot like JENKINS-23191. Make sure the downstream project (the one with the trigger defined) has one of the result options selected.

          You're right. After resetting the result options for all downstream projects everything works well.
