    Description

      A user 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.
