Description
Null pointer exception with git ignored files.
If there is a file that is already committed and later becomes a part of .gitignore
, this file creates a null pointer exception in spotless when used with ratchetFrom
.
This happens because workingTreeIterator
evaluates to null (here) for these files.
This is an exceptional case so maybe by adding a null check, we will ignore these files?
Steps to recreate the bug(example repo)
- I created a file
Wow.js
inside a packageuseless
(commit) - In a later commit I gitignored this package (names useless) (commit).
- Now even though the package is git ignored the file
Wow.java
will always be there as it was already committed and will create problems for spotless when used withratchetFrom
. - Now if I add spotless it to the project,
spotlessCheck
fails with a null pointer exception due to this file. (commit)
