All jobs failing to build with java.lang.NullPointerException Error

[mbutry]

Studio 7.1.1.20181026_1147  Cloud Data Management Platform

This just started in the past couple of days.  Things we have tried

1) removing the local copy of the GIT repo and downloading fresh.

2) starting in a clean workspace

3) re-installing java

4) re-installing studio

Can you contact Talend Support about this issue please? The symptoms look very much like an issue with your workspace. If you have tried recreating the workspace and reinstalling, I suspect that there is some sort of configuration issue. Support will be able to webex into your system and see precisely what is happening.

[mbutry · Accepted solution]

I submitted a problem case to Talend support.  After discussing the symptoms with them, we decided that the best solution to get developers back to work, was to create a new GIT repo and associated Talend Project.  Exporting jobs from the broken project and importing them into the new project got us around the failure to compile problem. I'm still working with them to discover the root cause of the problem.

Case #: 00127508

Thanks for sharing this Mike 🙂

Hi

Are you try to refresh the Java and what kind of GC method used ?

[MPT]

Any idea what the issue was? We have Open Studio 7.3 and this null exception came out of nowhere today - suddenly none of our jobs compiled succesfully anymore.

This issue was related to GitHub. This won't be the cause of your issue if you are using TOS. Can you raise another question and give as much detail as you can?

[MPT]

Thanks, I misunderstood that the root cause was unknown at the time when the issue was resolved. In this case there was no need for me to bump this thread up. I'm afraid we're in such a hurry that we're going to roll back to a backup 12 hours before the problems occurred. That should solve the problem. In another moment in time we would have given more time into root cause analysis for the greater good.
