Description

 

I recently upgraded my Opendaylight from 0.11.0 to 0.13.1 which uses Karaf 4.2.9

Part of my steps is setting up a systemd service, but when I run the install step as noted here, I get this:

 

 

[root@localhost opendaylight]# bin/shell wrapper:install
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.console.standalone.Main.getJarsInJars(Main.java:157)
        at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.console.standalone.Main.run(Main.java:137)
        at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.console.standalone.Main.run(Main.java:82)
        at org.apache.karaf.shell.impl.console.standalone.Main.main(Main.java:64)

 

The previous version of Karaf I was using, 4.2.2, did not have this issue. It set up my new services and all was fine.

 

I don't necessarily think this error is related to `wrapper:install`. I think there is a bug in the logic of `bin\shell` or in the Java code that it calls.
