Upgrading from 7.1.0 to 7.2.0 failed

[andre-aktivconsultancy]

Describe the bug
I attempted to upgrade from version 7.1.0 to 7.2.0. This failed in our CI/CD pipeline.

[ERROR] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0 s <<< FAILURE! - in Cucumber
[ERROR] Cucumber.Cucumber  Time elapsed: 0 s  <<< ERROR!
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "io.cucumber.cienvironment.CiEnvironment$Git.getRemote()" because "git" is null

Running this locally works without issue. This seems related to #2438 My best guess is that the CI environment (Jenkins) is detected which triggers the assembling of the Git metadata and this fails for unknown reason.

Happy to provide any additional info, not sure what is relevant though.

To Reproduce
Well, I am not completely sure. I can only reproduce it in our CI/CD pipeline. Jenkins executes the build, a docker container is created in which the actual build is performed which runs some tests with Cucumber.

Expected behavior
Not to fail with a NullPointerException.

Your Environment

• cucumber: 7.2.0
• Docker build image: Debian 10, Maven 3.8.3
• Jenkins 2.319.1

Hi - this seems to be a regression from #2438 - I'll have a look

[aslakhellesoy]

Do you have a full stack trace?

[aslakhellesoy]

I've submitted a fix in #2455.

I assume you're using https://plugins.jenkins.io/git/. If you pass the environment variables defined here to your docker container, it should work with 7.2.0.

Even after we merge #2455 and make a new release you'll have to pass those environment variables if you want git links to show up in Cucumber Reports.

Fixed in v7.2.1.

Thanks @mpkorstanje !

@aslakhellesoy @mpkorstanje
Thanks for the quick response to this! Works like a charm :)

Do you have a full stack trace?

This was all that got logged. I don't think have reduced the log level for Cucumber in our build. So it seems to me that this was all that got logged.

Even after we merge #2455 and make a new release you'll have to pass those environment variables if you want git links to show up in Cucumber Reports.

Thanks for clarifying. We don't really need that info in the Cucumber reports. But good to know anyway.
