NullPointerException in org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsFlowExecution$ConverterImpl.marshal when changing build information

      Hi,

      We recently updated to Jenkins LTS 2.107.2.
      We also updated our Jenkins plugins to the latest version.

      Now, we have an older build (which ran during LTS 2.107.1) where we want to change the build information.
      When committing the build information we get the error shown below.
      We see this error when we change the build description, when we change the promotion level (promoted-builds-simple plugin)

          Yes, I am with tom_ghyselinck, it still happens and exactly as Tom writes:

          • "this issue was not fixed for me"
          • "I still see the errors when changing build information in older builds (which do not show up in the stage view). Please note that it are builds that were started with plugin version 2.20 installed."
          • However, in contrast to him I solely updated the two attached HPI files (and have not installed other required plugin updates in the last ~2 weeks: last plugin updates are from 2018-04-19 07:15:58; while core is up-to-date 2.119)

          Reinhold Füreder added a comment - - edited Yes, I am with tom_ghyselinck , it still happens and exactly as Tom writes: "this issue was not fixed for me" "I still see the errors when changing build information in older builds (which do not show up in the stage view). Please note that it are builds that were started with plugin version 2.20 installed." However, in contrast to him I solely updated the two attached HPI files (and have not installed other required plugin updates in the last ~2 weeks: last plugin updates are from 2018-04-19 07:15:58; while core is up-to-date 2.119) 2018-05-03 12:18:33 WARNING [org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler$Context log] Error while serving

          And also exactly as tom_ghyselinck described, adding the logger did not change anything and led to NO additional logging whatsoever.

          • And I can view the build in Blue Ocean without any problems
          • I must admit however, that I don't understand this item in your comment:

            4. Update the custom log result (take a support bundle and grab it out of that if needed).

          Please note that I am now updating all Jenkins plugins (at long last) to the very latest and thus also replace the two attached manual installed ones...

          reinholdfuereder tom_ghyselinck Reproduced this – having eliminated all the other possibilities made it quick. This enables what should be the final fix, which enables serializing even if the execution was never loaded.

          Please try the attached SNAPSHOT – it should be released to the update center soon but that will take a few hours to be publicly available. workflow-cps.hpi
