Hello,

I get the error in one of the space 'DTS' using the contributors summary.

{contributors-summary:spaces=DTS|columns=edits}

Error is 'Error formatting macro: contributors-summary: java.lang.NullPointerException '

The same works on other spaces.

Have a nice day.
Regards,
Chandra Shekar

Hi Chandra,

It is strange that the macro would not be working in only one space in your environment. I would suggest raising this request with Atlassian Support initially who might be able to help narrow down if this is a problem with that specific space in your environment or a bug with the macro.

Hello Shannon,

I logged this issue to Atlassian Support https://support.atlassian.com/browse/CSP-14776.
They asked me to log the request here as this was 3rd party plug-in.

Have a nice day.
Regards,
Chandra Shekar

Hello Shannon,

Atlassian Support reviewed the logs and has the following comment :-

I reviewed your log files, I spotted :

The error is generated by Contributors macros instead of Confluence. Thus, I would suggest you to contact the plugin authors as they have better understanding on how the plugin works.

Thank you.

Hi Chandra,

It looks like it is erroring when trying to get the full name of a user that has a null full name. I am having trouble reproducing that situation here because Confluence normally doesn't let you enter a user with no full name.

I have made some updates that should catch this situation, if possible can you please test with the snapshot version of the plugin attached to this issue to verify your problem has gone away (or if it fails somewhere else).

Hello Shannon,

I loaded the plug in provided by you and the page is working OK.

Yes, i confirm that it shows the user's names 'null', so as you suspect the issue is with the names.
Attached is the file for your reference ( UserContribution - NXP wiki.mht )

So, would you make a new release of the plug-in or i continue using the same provided by you now ?

Have a nice day.
Regards,
Chandra Shekar

The fix in this issue will be in the next release, but I am not sure when that will be. The SNAPSHOT version attached to this should provide a workaround for any sites that experience this problem with null user names.
