Scheduler.getInstance().run() throws a null pointer

[carneeki]

Hi salandri_s,

Did you wind up fixing this? If so, could you please post your troubleshooting method? Our team (#4774) is having some trouble finding where the null pointer is creeping in as it doesn't appear in our stack trace either.

Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad,

Did anybody post any example code to you? If not, I can share our code with you. I'm heading into the workshop in about 7 hours. I will try and strip out everything to see if I can get rid of the exception. If I have no luck, I'll create a Gist and share the link.

The person above you was correct, you started a command that was not initialized. This throws a NetworkTable error because the commands use NetworkTable to put buttons on the driverstation/dashboard

We found a bug in the C++ and Java libraries where doing a putData() of the Scheduler instance will cause the program to crash. That has been fixed and will be released later today or tomorrow morning.

So if you have code like this:

SmartDashboard.putData(Scheduler.getInstance())

it will be fixed in that update.

Sorry about the annoyance.

Didn't know you could do that

[BradAMiller]

You can do that,

and the update just got pushed out. Look for it in Netbeans.

How? "Check For Updates" is empty

[BradAMiller]

Can you confirm that you aren't seeing the update?

Thanks,

I see the updated WPILibJ plugins (version 429) when I reload the catalog

If you look in this directory:

http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/java/netbeans/update/Release

you'll see the file updates.xml. That is the file that controls the update process and it should be at version 429.

The SmartDashboard also updated both in the NetBeans update and in the plugin update.
