All Configuration Jobs result in a Object reference not set to an instance of an object (NullReferenceException)

[williamb_5729]

When preparing to execute a remediation configuration job:

Inedo.Otter.Service.Executions.ActiveJobExecution.BuildConfigurationExecuter always throws a NullReferenceException.

The code (found in the above mentioned method):

      using (RaftRepository raft = RaftRepository.OpenRaft(job.Raft_Name))
        variables = await raft.GetVariablesAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

always fails. job.Raft_Name is always null, which causes RaftRepository.OpenRaft to return null. In turn, raft.GetVariablesAsync() results in a NullReferenceException.

As this stands, it is impossible to execute a configuration remediation job.

Thank you for the report; this is filed as: OT-252

As a workaround, you can assign the server directly to the "Default" raft instead of the "not selected" option.

John, I created a second Database raft and set the server's raft to "Default" before reporting the issue. It did not resolve the error.

The Jobs table in the database will not allow a "RaftId" that is not null for a job with a JobType of "C" . The Jobs table has a CK_Jobs_Raft_Id that enforces the null Raft_Id constraint.

I've temporarily worked around the issue by modifying the Jobs_Extended view to adjust Raft_Id to 1 when it would otherwise be NULL.

Thanks for the update; due to its severity we put out an emergency maintenance release to fix this.
