In Jenkins pipeline build, sometimes I've seen null pointer or other exceptions like -
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method trim() on null object
Generally if we run Java program through IDE or command line, if an exception occurs we see at which line number the exception has occurred.
But with Jenkins build output console, it does not show the line number where the exception has occurred.
In this case, based on method name ie trim() from log, I check wherever trim() method is used. But as I've used it at multiple places in same method, it becomes difficult to identify exactly where error has occurred.
Another way is to add echo statements and re-run build and see where it gives this exception but this is time consuming.
Is there any better way/plugin using which I can identify at which line of pipeline code exception has occurred?
I don't really know if it's possible to show the exact line number, but you can wrap your code in try-catch statements and then show the exception info in the catch, like so:
try {
// line with trim()
catch (ex) {
println "Exception while trimming: $ex"
}
could someone help me figure out what to look for in this stacktrace? I've never touched Erlang, so I don't really know where to start.
We're using v19.09 of ejabberd, and getting this error log for many users:

Start with the actual error, which is buried in the middle:
exit:{noproc,{p1_server,call,[none,{set_presence,.....
So there is a noproc error, which occurred during a call to p1_server:call, where the first argument is none. (The call would look like p1_server:call(none, {set_presence,...}).) That is, we're asking the process called none to execute the command set_presence, which fails because there is no process registered with the name none.
Now let's look at the stack trace. I added line breaks:
[{p1_server,call,3,[{file,"src/p1_server.erl"},{line,210}]},
{mod_http_api,handle2,4,[{file,"src/mod_http_api.erl"},{line,267}]},
{mod_http_api,handle,4,[{file,"src/mod_http_api.erl"},{line,228}]},
{mod_http_api,perform_call,4,[{file,"src/mod_http_api.erl"},{line,188}]},
{mod_http_api,process,2,[{file,"src/mod_http_api.erl"},{line,141}]},
{ejabberd_http,process,2,[{file,"src/ejabberd_http.erl"},{line,366}]},
{ejabberd_http,process_request,1,[{file,"src/ejabberd_http.erl"},{line,488}]},
{ejabberd_http,process_header,2,[{file,"src/ejabberd_http.erl"},{line,286}]}]
The first line is where it discovers that there is no such process, on line 210 in p1_server.erl. But we're more interested in why we're passing none as the argument in the first place. The stack trace suggests that's happening somewhere in mod_http_api.erl, but at that point I'm getting lost - it seems like it's extracting the arguments from the command, but I don't understand where the none is coming from...
We'd like to print a message when an assert() fails. Currently in Dart, an assert only takes a boolean. We'd like to give the developer explicit reasons and instructions for what to do when the assert fails.
As of Dart 1.22, assert() takes an optional message.
assert(configFile != null, "Tool config missing.");
If the assertion fails, it will produce something like the following:
Unhandled exception:
'file:///.../main.dart': Failed assertion: line 9 pos 10:
'configFile != null': Tool config missing.
#0 _AssertionError._doThrowNew (dart:core-patch/errors_patch.dart:33)
#1 _AssertionError._throwNew (dart:core-patch/errors_patch.dart:29)
#2 main (file:///.../main.dart:9:10)
Note that the error message includes the actual assertion (configFile != null).
Just to add, if you're executing a dart file via command line, you need to enable asserts as follows, see reference here:
dart --enable-asserts main.dart
There is an open issue with a workaround https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/6190#issuecomment-119103626
assert(() => test || throw "message");
I tried this but this way it doesn't work. A slightly modified working version
var test = false;
assert(test ? true : throw "message");
