Getting NullPointerException from RefinedThemes top.vm

[Former user]

Hello,

I'm getting an NullPointerException when using old style wiki markup in RefinedThemes Advanced Theme top.vm section. Other macros seem to work fine (for example {recently-updated})

I have alot of parameters in my normal one, but sake of testing this I just used '{instant-search}' and its still giving the NullPointerException

in the VM I have this line

$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{instantsearch}")

And confluence page displays this: Error formatting macro: instantsearch: java.lang.NullPointerException

atlassian-confluence.log gives:

2021-09-29 11:28:01,609 ERROR [http-nio-8090-exec-8] [renderer.v2.components.MacroRendererComponent] processMacro Unexpected error rendering macro 'instantsearch': null'
 -- url: /display/Space1/Page2 | traceId: dd95bb6afb22ce74 | userName: administrator | referer: https://confluence/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=603344103&draftShareId=9beeb558-7431-4f53-a5b3-ce01f9eae3e3&

if I'd have to guess I think this has something to do with context confluence macro is being loaded, because when I tried in normal page using ‘Wiki Markup’ Macro, instant-search worked normally.

I’ll take a look.

Any additional errors?

What version of InstantSearch are you using?

Thank you!

I did try few things like try making a user macro from the xhtml etc and I somehow got this error also:

Thanks! Just noting for the ticket that the error line is 204: at org.precog.instantsearch.InstantSearchMacro.execute(InstantSearchMacro.java:204)

I think I have a fix for it (if indeed this is the only error). Looks like putting the macro on a non-page entity was causing the bug. I’m hoping with this fix it shouldn’t be a problem.

[Instant Search]

I’ll try to attach the Jar through here.

[Instant Search]

this should fix that one error. Let me know if it fixes the other one as well and I can to a patch release.

Thanks.

[Patrick Forssell]

Perfect! Yeah, instantsearch-2.6.1-RC1.jar did indeed fix it, thank you!

‌

[Instant Search]

Excellent. Thanks for providing the error report. I'll release an official 2.6.1 today with that release fix in it.
