We’re getting “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” when trying to change Variable Groups or Script Modules assigned to existing projects (via the API or the GUI).
We’re on a hosted instance, so can’t get to diagnostic logs or the underlying database - please could someone take a look at our data and see what’s screwed up that’s stopping us doing this?
Thanks for getting in touch. We’ve discovered a bug related to Automatic Release Creation, that has unforeseen flow on effects to other project actions.
We’re working to fix it I’ll let you know when it’s done.
The work around I have for you at the moment is if you want to do other changes to your project and are impacted by this, disable ARC do those changes, then re-instate ARC. Via the Triggers page.
While the workaround allows for changing of the variable sets assigned to a project, we hit the same ‘Object reference is not set to an instance of an object’ when re-enabling ARC. The list of available steps to choose from in the ARC create screen does not match the available steps on the project process page.
Just wanted to give you an update, we’ve shipped the fix for this issue in 2018.5.9 which is available in the Fast Lane now: https://octopus.com/downloads
