After upgrading to gradle 2.0 we started seeing this NPE. We didn’t see this in the initial QA. It wasn’t until we started running a lot of concurrent jobs that this started happening. Not sure what other info to provide. It’s not a stack trace that I’ve seen anywhere else in this forum or in jira. Here’s the env: ```gradle #> gradle -version ------------------------------------------------------------ Gradle 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------ Build time: 2014-07-01 07:45:34 UTC Build number: none Revision: b6ead6fa452dfdadec484059191eb641d817226c Groovy: 2.3.3 Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.3 compiled on December 23 2013 JVM: 1.7.0_55 (Oracle Corporation 24.55-b03) OS: Linux 3.11.0-18-generic amd64 ``` We’ve been building each job in it’s own --gradle-user-home to get around [https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-3106](https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-3106). ```gradle gradle --no-daemon -i -b /opt/nim/parserV4/build.gradle -Pcfg=/cbdata/root/rg/chf/2014-07-01/job/151726/buildjob.json -Pstandalone= --stacktrace --gradle-user-home=/cbdata/root/rg/chf/2014-07-01/job/151726/.gradle --project-cache-dir /cbdata/root/rg/chf/2014-07-01/job/151726/.gradle run -PmergeOption=MERGEINDEX Starting Build ================================================ Start building buildSrc FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message) * Try: Run with --debug option to get more log output. * Exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.gradle.profile.ProfileEventAdapter.completed(ProfileEventAdapter.java:72) at org.gradle.messaging.dispatch.ReflectionDispatch.dispatch(ReflectionDispatch.java:35) at org.gradle.messaging.dispatch.ReflectionDispatch.dispatch(ReflectionDispatch.java:24) at org.gradle.listener.BroadcastDispatch.dispatch(BroadcastDispatch.java:83) at org.gradle.listener.BroadcastDispatch.dispatch(BroadcastDispatch.java:31) at org.gradle.listener.BroadcastDispatch.dispatch(BroadcastDispatch.java:83) at org.gradle.listener.BroadcastDispatch.dispatch(BroadcastDispatch.java:31) at org.gradle.messaging.dispatch.ProxyDispatchAdapter$DispatchingInvocationHandler.invoke(ProxyDispatchAdapter.java:93) at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy16.completed(Unknown Source) at org.gradle.initialization.DefaultGradleLauncher.stop(DefaultGradleLauncher.java:193) at org.gradle.initialization.buildsrc.BuildSourceBuilder.createBuildSourceClasspath(BuildSourceBuilder.java:80) at org.gradle.initialization.buildsrc.BuildSourceBuilder.buildAndCreateClassLoader(BuildSourceBuilder.java:51) at org.gradle.initialization.SettingsHandler.findSettingsAndLoadIfAppropriate(SettingsHandler.java:86) at org.gradle.initialization.SettingsHandler.findAndLoadSettings(SettingsHandler.java:46) at org.gradle.initialization.DefaultGradleLauncher.doBuildStages(DefaultGradleLauncher.java:120) at org.gradle.initialization.DefaultGradleLauncher.doBuild(DefaultGradleLauncher.java:105) at org.gradle.initialization.DefaultGradleLauncher.run(DefaultGradleLauncher.java:85) at org.gradle.launcher.exec.InProcessBuildActionExecuter$DefaultBuildController.run(InProcessBuildActionExecuter.java:81) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExecuteBuildAction.run(ExecuteBuildAction.java:33) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExecuteBuildAction.run(ExecuteBuildAction.java:24) at org.gradle.launcher.exec.InProcessBuildActionExecuter.execute(InProcessBuildActionExecuter.java:39) at org.gradle.launcher.exec.InProcessBuildActionExecuter.execute(InProcessBuildActionExecuter.java:29) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.RunBuildAction.run(RunBuildAction.java:50) at org.gradle.internal.Actions$RunnableActionAdapter.execute(Actions.java:171) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$ParseAndBuildAction.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:237) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$ParseAndBuildAction.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:210) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.JavaRuntimeValidationAction.execute(JavaRuntimeValidationAction.java:35) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.JavaRuntimeValidationAction.execute(JavaRuntimeValidationAction.java:24) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$WithLogging.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:206) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.CommandLineActionFactory$WithLogging.execute(CommandLineActionFactory.java:169) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExceptionReportingAction.execute(ExceptionReportingAction.java:33) at org.gradle.launcher.cli.ExceptionReportingAction.execute(ExceptionReportingAction.java:22) at org.gradle.launcher.Main.doAction(Main.java:33) at org.gradle.launcher.bootstrap.EntryPoint.run(EntryPoint.java:45) at org.gradle.launcher.bootstrap.ProcessBootstrap.runNoExit(ProcessBootstrap.java:54) at org.gradle.launcher.bootstrap.ProcessBootstrap.run(ProcessBootstrap.java:35) at org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain.main(GradleMain.java:23) ``` ---

Seeing this in gradle 2.1 as well. Trace line numbers slightly different but it’s the same problem.

Thag/Graeme, can you give exact steps to reproduce your problem? I have a theory that something wrong happens very early during the build initialization and the build fails and tries to run regular finish sequence but the ProfileEventAdapter wasn’t even initialized and throws this NPE. Knowing what exactly happens will help us to apply a fix with confidence rather than doing just some poor workaround. Possibly there can also be some additional information in Gradle log. ---

I haven’t seen the issue for a while with the latest build snapshots of Gradle, so maybe it has been resolved already. It was reproducible simply by using the Gradle tooling API to run a command in 2.2 final ---

OK, we can wait for a while and close the bug if there is no update from you before 2.3 release. ---
