Error while getting the AccessLevel

[ricky-aug]

While running the below code, for some project it works fine but for some projects it is throwing exception.As i am getting the Access level for the login user at project level. The exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

Pager id=gitLabApi.getProjectApi().getMemberProjects(5);
while(id.hasNext())
{
List projects=id.next();
for(Project project:projects)
{ System.out.println(project.getNameWithNamespace());
System.out.println(project.getNameWithNamespace()+" "+project.getVisibility()+project.getPermissions().getProjectAccess().getAccessLevel().name());
//System.out.println(project.getNameWithNamespace()+","+project.getMergeRequestsEnabled()+project.getPermissions().getProjectAccess().getAccessLevel().name());

		}
	}

I would suspect that an invalid access level is present. You can find the valid values here:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/access_requests.html

GitLab4J turns the numeric value into an enum, and an invalid value will result in the accessLevel being null. Should an INVALID enum be added to capture the case when the level is not one of the predefined levels? That way accessLevel will never be null, it will be one of the following:

NONE, INVALID, GUEST, REPORTER, DEVELOPER, MASTER, OWNER

You can then call AccessLevel.toValue() to fetch the numeric value.

Handling and logging of invalid access levels have been added in the just released 4.8.8

I am not able to find 4.8.8 jar on web

@ricky001
Sometimes it takes a day or so for the jars to become available on maven central. If it is still not available tomorrow, please let me know and I will look into it.

@ricky-aug
Did 4.8.8 resolve your issue? If so, could you close this?

[ricky001]

@gmessner i am not able to find the 4.8.8 jar

[gmessner]

Not sure why. I found it in the 2 main mvn repos:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.gitlab4j/gitlab4j-api/4.8.8
https://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.gitlab4j%7Cgitlab4j-api%7C4.8.8%7Cjar

What Maven repo are you using?
