Sonatype Nexus Repository

Hi,
our Nexus produces a null pointer exception when users try to fetch npm packages:

2019-06-28 11:34:46,769+0200 WARN [qtp1902092465-46545] inet org.sonatype.nexus.repository.httpbridge.internal.ViewServlet - Failure servicing: GET /artifacts/repository/npm-group/build

Interestingly it seems to occur only for some packages and for some packages it works.

Hi,

This forum isn’t the right place to debug technical problems.

If you have a support contract with us you can use our support system at https://support.sonatype.com. Please note that the support system is for licensed customers only.

Otherwise, if you think this is a bug, you can try raising an issue at https://issues.sonatype.org in the “Dev - Nexus” issue.

Either way, provide a support zip file if you can get to the Nexus Repo UI. Or provide the complete nexus.log file otherwise.

Regards,
Mahendra

OK, thanks.

Have a look here: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-19905

This was fixed in 3.17.0

There is a patch available on that issue for 3.16.1.

Regards,

Rich
