Xwiki won't start after upgrade 17.10.4 -> 17.10.5

Help / Discuss

Hi,

I’ve upgraded our xwiki instance from 10.17.4 to 10.17.5 (Debian trixie, from xwiki’s repos) and now tomcat is throwing fatal errors and won’t start.

System:

  • Debian trixie (13.4)
  • reverse proxy: nginx
  • packages
    • xwiki-common 17.10.5
    • xwiki-pgsql-common 17.10.5
    • xwiki-tomcat10-common 17.10.5

full trace as seen in browser after it crashes:

Root Cause

java.lang.NullPointerException

Note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the server logs.
Apache Tomcat/10.1.52 (Debian)

I cannot find the root cause and when I downgrade to xwiki 17.10.4, it works again.

Is this a known problem or can someone else spot a problem here?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, we’re investigating as it works on some dev machines but not on some others. We’re trying to figure out what the problem is.

Sorry about that. Will post soon.

Ah, thanks for the quick update and reply, good to know, it’s not on our side, I found nothing useful in my logs… will be waiting for an update here, thanks.

In the meantime: should I downgrade to 17.10.4 again and wait for updated Debian packages?

6

yes. I’m going to add the info on the RN page for 17.10.5

7

It’s already there :slight_smile: https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Data/XWiki/17.10.5/

8

Okay, I saw the bug has been added. I downgraded my packages again, waiting for fixed ones.

9

I have the exact same problem after updating to Version 18.2.0. Hope, this version will also get the fix!

10

Both the Windows and the linked resources (aka “Debian package”) related problems have been fixed, and we are now validating that it does not cause other problems before releasing a 17.10.6 and a 18.2.1 versions (hopefully today or on Monday).

Great news, thank you for your quick reaction!

We unfortunately discovered another issue on Windows and have release XWiki 17.10.7 and also 18.2.1 with all fixes.

ah yes, I was wondering about the 17.10.7 update, which came out of nowhere suddenly… :slight_smile:

thank you, my problem is fixed!
