Build step 'Jira: Move issues matching JQL to the specified version' marked build as failure

The NullpointerException occurs only if APP-NEXT has issues assigned.

Anything else?

the job worked with Jenkins Jira Plugin 3.14

Can you check if the error is still happening with 3.16? There were some bug fixes related to API changes.

[davedevretro]

Still an issue on 3.16 :/

Can you try the build from #664 ? Here is the HPI plugin file.

Thanks! I was able to reproduce it with test cases so that should be solved now. new build here.

Sorry, only just had the opportunity to deploy it and the links gone now - is this now in the master branch?

[rantoniuk]

Yes, it's not yet released, but you can find the HPI on Jenkins master branch build: https://ci.jenkins.io/job/Plugins/job/jira-plugin/job/master/
