solved by adding this to config file:

  "defaults":{
    "jsonnet": {
      "base_template": "https://github.com/EclipseFdn/otterdog-defaults#otterdog-defaults.libsonnet@main",
      "config_dir": "orgs"
    }
  },

thanks for testing this out. That should have thrown an error indicating the problem instead of a stacktrace.

will change that accordingly. I assume there are other cases where mandatory settings are not properly checked in advance, as in our operational setup things are already defined. But if other people wanna use it as well they ofc run into such issues.

ty for checking it out.
