java.lang.NullPointerException on Mac OS Big Sur

Jeremy_VITAL · June 25, 2020, 5:21am

Hello, I have update my Mac OS to the beta and I can’t run PP. The only log I have is „java.lang.NullPointerException“.

I can provide you more information if you tell me a report procedure.

I hope you will fix this error with the update of Mac OS, your app is really the best for tracking the performance of a portfolio even the app of big company with subscription or with paid application.

Thanks for you work.

Unfortunately the posted error message is not sufficient enough to allocate the root cause.

The complete stack trace should be stored for MacOS at the following directory:

~/Library/Application Support/name.abuchen.portfolio.product/workspace/.metadata/.log

Please kindly open the newest log file, scroll down to the end of the file w/ the according timestamp und post the complete error message.

I only had this Problem only once on Big Sur - after a few starts and tries.

Most time its starting normal - Welcome Page is normal too.

But on my Depots its all white

To see the Content i need to move the window a bit and (try to) resize it. Then i often see the content but all is frozen and i need to force quit.

Didn’t want to open a now Topic until i seen this one - cause Problems are to expect with first few Betas and i also thought only i have problems.

Thanks for the feedback on macOS Big Sur. As I am personally also developing and running on macOS, I have a high interest for PP to work there.

As @Ragas mentioned above, the log file would be very important for us. Then we can also open bugs with the upstream projects - in the past Eclipse / SWT sometimes also had issues.

@Gonz_o - It would be great if you could send the whole log to portfolio dot performance dot help at gmail dot com

AndreasB · June 25, 2020, 6:59pm

Thanks. The stack trace contains suspicious SWT stack elements. I will open a bug with the eclipse project. You are using the latest PP version, right?

@AndreasB the file doesn’t exit on my system.
(Dir exists - just not the file)

Jeremy_VITAL · June 25, 2020, 7:12pm

Yes I use the last version of PP. I havent found the log if the dir you mentioned to. I had to use the bug report Windows to copy/paste the log.

AndreasB · June 25, 2020, 7:16pm

It is a hidden file (starting with a dot).

Anyway, if you can still start PP, then go to the Help menu → Save error log as …

Jeremy_VITAL · June 25, 2020, 7:32pm

log

I have made a copy of my log. Tell me if you need more info/help.

Gonz_o · June 25, 2020, 7:33pm

Ah - yes.
Always exactly the same error as @Jeremy_VITAL

And yes, i’m on the latest version.

AndreasB · June 26, 2020, 8:12pm

@Jeremy_VITAL @Gonz_o

Can one of you do me the favor and test this build on macOS Big Sur:
https://github.com/buchen/portfolio/releases/download/0.46.5/PortfolioPerformance-0.46.6-SNAPSHOT.dmg

It is identical to the current version, but I have updated to the latest SWT libraries (hoping to get rid of the NPE).

If it works, I need more time to deliver this. It has implications for other builds - in particular that 32bit is not supported anymore on Windows and Linux.

Gonz_o · June 26, 2020, 8:15pm

Works for me
Thank you

chirlu · June 27, 2020, 7:14am

Out of curiosity, would that be 0.12.0 (latest release on GitHub) or 0.7.0 (latest release according to website)?

AndreasB · June 27, 2020, 7:26am

I am not sure where you get theses versions from - I am talking about Eclipse SWT. So far I was bundling version 3.108. For the build, I have update to version 3.114 (https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.16-202006040540/)

Maybe you mean SWTChart? I have not updated SWTChart, but I believe I still use version 0.10 (which is the last version before it was moved to the Eclipse Foundation). I plan to update, but there are incompatible API changes (for which I have already have a patch but which does not cover all yet).

chirlu · June 27, 2020, 8:18am

Ah yes, I meant SWTChart. Sorry for the confusion.

iTim1995 · August 5, 2020, 3:26pm

Is there a workaround to get v0.47.0 running on macOS Big Sur?

iTim1995 · August 5, 2020, 3:52pm

The problem is that my file was already opened under 0.47.0 and is therefore no longer compatible with the version AndreasB posted here (0.46.6).

xact21 · August 9, 2020, 7:10pm

I have the same problem

The problem is that my file was already opened under 0.47.0 and is therefore no longer compatible with the version AndreasB posted here (0.46.6).

xact21 · August 10, 2020, 1:38pm

Is it possible to compile a 0.47.0 version with the same patch as you have done for 0.46.6 or does that need much effort? Would be very nice because yesterday released the public beta and i think many user a like me and installed it
