BTP ABAP Trial - Issue when linking any github.com repository

[attilaberencsi]

Hello ABAPGit Team,

when I am trying to connect from EU BTP ABAP Environment Trial(Shared instance) to any public github.com repository the operation: Linking repository is hanging forever after successfully selecting the proper branch and the Transport Request.

I checked the eclipse error log, and found the following:

Unhandled event loop exception

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.abapgit.adt.backend.model.abapgitrepositories.IRepository.getLinks()" because "repository" is null at org.abapgit.adt.ui.internal.util.AbapGitService.isSelectivePullSupported(AbapGitService.java:76) at org.abapgit.adt.ui.internal.repositories.AbapGitView.openSelectivePullWizard(AbapGitView.java:600) at org.abapgit.adt.ui.internal.repositories.AbapGitView.access$9(AbapGitView.java:588) at org.abapgit.adt.ui.internal.repositories.AbapGitView$16.run(AbapGitView.java:516) at org.eclipse.jface.action.Action.runWithEvent(Action.java:474) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection(ActionContributionItem.java:580) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.lambda$5(ActionContributionItem.java:453) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:89) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.sendEvent(Display.java:4251) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1066) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:4068) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3645) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.PartRenderingEngine$5.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:1155) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:338) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.PartRenderingEngine.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:1046) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.E4Workbench.createAndRunUI(E4Workbench.java:155) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.lambda$3(Workbench.java:644) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:338) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:551) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:156) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:152) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:203) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:136) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:104) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:402) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:255) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:77) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:568) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:659) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:596) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1467)

I tried to reinstall eclipse and ABAP Developer Tools + plus the ABAPGit plugin, and also use SAP Machine JDK instead of the built-in JAVA release, but no luck, still facing the issue.

I was able to pull repositories existing (added in January already) from github.com, the issue happens when adding new one only.

Can You please advise, is that because of some issue with the BTP ABAP Environment

or my workstation or somehow related to the plugin ?

Thank You in advance Kind regards, Attila

Hi Attila,

I checked in the trial system but was not able to reproduce the issue and the linking was successful. Could you provide more details to reproduce the issue?

The following information will also help.

1. Is the "Pull after link" checkbox checked in the "Branch and Package Selection" page?
2. After stopping/closing the wizard can you already see the repository as linked?
3. Screenshots of the wizard pages.

P.S. There doesn't seem to be any issue with the BTP ABAP Environment.

Hi Shubham, I am trying to pull the following repository: https://github.com/attilaberencsi/feovp.git

Here is the video for reference: https://abaper.synology.me:5001/sharing/H1RxAE5ur

Thank You, Attila

Hi Atilla,

I still could not reproduce the issue with the repository https://github.com/attilaberencsi/feovp.git and the repository was linked successfully. FYI, I tested in a trial instance for US region, as trial instances for EU are no longer available.

I would request for more information to figure out the issue and fix it.

1. After stopping/force closing the Link wizard, does the repository appear in the list in abapGIT repositories view? (manually refresh the view to be sure)
2. Is the link action successful in case the "pull after link" checkbox is not selected?

Current Diagnosis: The clonedRepository that is to be pulled, is not retrieved successfully. This would suggest there's an issue with the utility to getRepositoryByURL or the link action for repository itself failed. Thus pull leads to NullPointerException.

https://github.com/abapGit/ADT_Frontend/blob/8ffd001f51cd9c11be60636dcd77f6cade617210/org.abapgit.adt.ui/src/org/abapgit/adt/ui/internal/repositories/AbapGitView.java#L590-L596

Current Solution: Updated new version of abapGIT v1.6.5 to handle the NullPointerException elegantly. After answering above queries, please update and check with the new version and share the error messages (if any).

Regards Shubham.

Hi Shubham,

I tried with and without the "Pull after link option", also linking with a completely empty Z package. It is hanging, and when I stop linking, I got this new message:

Maybe that is because EU Trial is no longer available according to Your info, but existing logons are kept like mine, but no more is possible like github ops on the EU instances.

I will try to create a new account in other region, move objects manually. If that works, I will close this. Thank You for Your support.

BR, Attila
