Problem description

I was just starting to configure a build trigger, checked only "Push events" and hit the Generate button to create a token. This resulted in an error with the above output. Since we rely on tokens this is kind of a job stopper for us.

Thanks and regards

Is there anybody out there?

[bemeyert]

@coder-hugo Thanks a lot. Can you tell me in which version this fix will be available or when the fix will be released?

[coder-hugo]

@bemeyert this fix will be available within the next version maybe I find some time this evening for doing a release. As a workaround you can do the following:

1. Setup you job with the default configuration for the gitlab push trigger
2. Save your job
3. Click on "Generate token"
4. Save your job

In this case this NullPointerException won't occur.

@coder-hugo Thanks a lot. The workaround "works" ;)

This was released in version 1.4.4 of the plugin.
