[Subclipse-dev] NullPointerException - PeekStatusCommand, SwitchToUrlCommand - Errors when no installed client adapters

Hi,

I encounter a NullPointerException when trying to share an existing
Eclipse project in an environment where the required Subclipse plugins
have been installed, but not specific client adapters such as JavaHL
or SVNKit.

My environment:

os.arch=x86
os.name=Windows 7
java.runtime.version=1.7.0-b147
osgi.framework.version=3.7.2.v20120110-1415
org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.feature (1.8.2) "Subversion Client Adapter"
org.tigris.subversion.subclipse (1.8.8) "SVN Team Provider Core"
org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter (1.8.2) "Subversion Client Adapter" [Active]
org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core (1.8.8) "SVN Team Provider Core" [Active]
org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.doc (1.3.0) "Subclipse Documentation" [Resolved]
org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.tools.usage (1.1.0) "Subclipse Usage
Reporting" [Active]
org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.ui (1.8.8) "SVN Team Provider UI" [Active]

Note: No client adapters such as SVNKit have been installed.

I can confirm that installing the SVNKit Client Adapter avoids the exceptions.

Reproduction recipe:

* In a fresh copy of Eclipse, install only the Subclipse and
Subversion Client Adapter plugins.
* In Eclipse, make sure the Package Explorer view is showing. Window
=> Show View => Package Explorer.
* Right-click an open project in the Package Explorer view.
* Highlight Team.
* Click Share Project....
* Click SVN.

Simply clicking the SVN label will pop-up a dialog box titled Problem
Occurred. Clicking Details provides the following:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
java.lang.NullPointerException

The following appears in the .metadata/.log file:

Possible cause:

// line 91 of PeekStatusCommand.java:
client.removeNotifyListener( revisionListener );

client can be null if an exception is thrown during any of the following calls:

// line 68 of PeekStatusCommand.java:
client = SVNProviderPlugin.getPlugin().getSVNClientManager().getSVNClient();

In debugging, I have tracked the following code path:

* PeekStatusCommand.execute calls SVNClientManager.getSVNClient
* SVNClientManager.getSVNClient calls SVNClientManager.getAdapter
* All attempts to set the client variable in SVNClientManager.getAdapter fail
* SVNClientManager.getAdapter throws an SVNException
* Control jumps to the finally block in PeekStatusCommand.execute
* A NullPointerException occurs because the client variable is null

I have found that
org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core.client.SwitchToUrlCommand
exhibits the same problem:

ISVNClientAdapter svnClient = null;
try {
    // snip
    svnClient = root.getRepository().getSVNClient();
    // snip
} finally {
    // snip
    if (conflictResolver != null) {
        svnClient.addConflictResolutionCallback(null);
    }
    // snip
}

Possible resolution:

I believe the problems can be resolved in either of two ways:

* Move the beginning of the try blocks to after the retrieval of the
ISVNClientAdapter.
* Check the ISVNClientAdapter variables aren't null before using them
in the finally blocks.

While a user who hasn't installed a client adapter will still receive
an exception when clicking on the SVN label, I believe the
SVNException with a message of "Unable to load default SVN Client"
will be more useful than a NullPointerException.

Thanks,
Chad Nouis
