Got this in the error log when I opened a review task and synchronized it: @Expected an instance of RichTextAttributeEditor, got "<null>"@ Since I have no clue what it means, I assume this message should be either not shown or with more information (as other users will probably have the same trouble figuring out what's going on). Coult be related to bug 414460
(In reply to comment #0) > Coult be related to bug 414460 I've just seen it without any accompanying NPE, so I don't think they are related. I got this after opening a review, no syncing.
Have *no* idea what's happening here. I think the only rich attribute editor we have is for comment (NEW_COMMENT).. But what might have changed to affect that?
Should be easy to debug if reproducible: set a breakpoint at TaskEditorRichTextPart:108.
On https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/15004/8, Tomek reported: (In reply to comment #21) > Patch Set 7: > * Now I can reproduce https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=414461 quite > reliably, got 5 warnings in a row I still can't get that working. Perhaps it is platform specific. I'll fire up my Windows virtual box, but perhaps you could also check whether https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/15004/8 ahs any impact.

(In reply to comment #4) > On https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/15004/8, Tomek reported: Correection: That was on https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/15004/7 -- it's just possible that the latest patch 8 actually fixs this issue but I'm not sure. I'm unable to reproduce this on Windows either. So I'm a bit flummoxed. Could someone (Tomek?) set a stack trace and do a little more investigation when this occurs?

The warning is logged in @org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui.editors.TaskEditorRichTextPart.createControl(Composite, FormToolkit)@ [1]. In this particular case, apparently, @org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.editors.AbstractTaskEditorPart.createAttributeEditor(TaskAttribute)@ [2] returned @null@ for the given non-null (already checked in @TaskEditorRichTextPart.createControl@) attribute, so @attribute.getMetaData().getType()@ must have been @null@. In https://git.eclipse.org/r/15597 I modified the warning logged so next time it happens we should get a stack trace.

Thomas, has it happen again to you (any chance for the stack trace from comment 8)? I haven't seen it for a while.
nope, haven't seen it anymore. thanks for asking Tomek!
