A userĀ of the vSphere plugin reports this exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.decideWorkspace(AbstractBuild.java:440) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.run(AbstractBuild.java:480) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1737) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:97) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:419)
The code in question is apparently vulnerable to a null return value from getRootPath, perhaps due to race conditions involving an agent going offline right as a build is starting.
