Jenkins 2.7.1 (Docker image)
workflow-job-plugin 2.9.2
When setting up dependencies in a multibranch pipeline, I wrote
properties([ pipelineTriggers([upstream(upstreamProjects: dependencies.join(','))]) ])
I had omitted the threshold parameter, assuming that it would default to SUCCESS (and I wasn't sure what to put in anyway due to JENKINS-40304). The dependencies weren't working. I discovered this NPE in the logs:
Dec 08, 2016 11:08:34 AM hudson.model.listeners.RunListener report WARNING: RunListener failed java.lang.NullPointerException at hudson.model.Result.isBetterOrEqualTo(Result.java:130) at jenkins.triggers.ReverseBuildTrigger.shouldTrigger(ReverseBuildTrigger.java:138) at jenkins.triggers.ReverseBuildTrigger.access$000(ReverseBuildTrigger.java:88) at jenkins.triggers.ReverseBuildTrigger$RunListenerImpl.onCompleted(ReverseBuildTrigger.java:258) at hudson.model.listeners.RunListener.fireCompleted(RunListener.java:202) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun.finish(WorkflowRun.java:582) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun.access$1200(WorkflowRun.java:120) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun$GraphL.onNewHead(WorkflowRun.java:865) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsFlowExecution.notifyListeners(CpsFlowExecution.java:1081) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsThreadGroup$3.run(CpsThreadGroup.java:398) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsVmExecutorService$1.run(CpsVmExecutorService.java:35) at hudson.remoting.SingleLaneExecutorService$1.run(SingleLaneExecutorService.java:112) at jenkins.util.ContextResettingExecutorService$1.run(ContextResettingExecutorService.java:28) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)
From what I can tell, omitting the threshold parameter is causing it to be set to null, leading to the null pointer exception. View Configuration in the GUI didn't reveal any problems, instead showing the threshold as success.
I don't know if there is any way in the Jenkins reflection system to prevent this, but it would be nice if it was possible for the pipeline script to give an error rather than silently inserting properties that cause exceptions, or else to pick a sensible default.
