5.3.10 : http call errors

dev support
1

We’re in the process of testing our Docker images (all based on lucee/lucee:5.3.10.120-nginx) and have hit a snag where

req = createObject('http');
...
req.send()

errors with

StackTrace string lucee.runtime.exp.NativeException: java.lang.NullPointerException

I am fairly sure this must be a setting or file missing from this particular application, as the code runs fine in less modified containers.

Anyone have any ideas what the missing part might be ?

Disabling the trace log with

sed -i 's!<logger appender="resource" appender-arguments="path:{lucee-config}/logs/trace.log" layout="classic" name="trace"/>!!' /opt/lucee/server/lucee-server/context/lucee-server.xml

seems to fix this.

Is this log file new since earlier 5.3/5.2 ?

@thefalken I checked this issue with the lucee version 5.3.10.x and didn’t able to replicate the issue. I think this NullPointerException on CallStackGet().abs() was seems to be fixed in lucee 6

@thefalken I’ve created a ticket for this issue and added a PR for lucee 5.3.

Thanks !

We actually make a lot of internal HTTP calls to an air gapped API in a few of our products, and would be worried about any performance impact, or what information was in those logs, when writing details of each to a log, so will probably keep it off anyway.

It’s probably a different point if trace level logs should be logged anywhere, by default… feels like it would be a lot ?

There is also a project called CF_curl, which is coldfusions implementation of the curl binary. Curl is very much like a headless browser.

Doesn’t really fit our use case to use a limited wrapper around the standard curl binary :slight_smile:

@thefalken Now the NullPointerException on CallStackGet().abs() issue is fixed in lucee versions 5.3.10.131-SNAPSHOT & 5.4.0.43-SNAPSHOT. So please check the issue in this version and let us know

9

@thefalken Any update on this issue? and do you please check on this issue with lucee fixed version and update here? It helpful to improve the status of this issue

I need to undo the fix we put in and redeploy to our shared dev cluster; sorry it’s taking a while.
