    • Jenkins 2.235.4 with text-finder 1.15 using a job that was originally created with text-finder 1.12

      I have a job defined with text-finder 1.12 settings to mark the build unstable if the text was found in the console log. When I run that job with text-finder 1.15, a null pointer exception is reported like this:

      BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Build step 'Search files or the console log for regular expression(s)' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

      If I save the job and run it again it succeeds. Since the workaround is so simple, I don't know that this is worth any time to fix it. I'm submitting the issue to document it just in case others encounter the same issue.
