[JIRA] (JENKINS-14250) E-mail field is not automatically populated when a git plugin creates new user.

[rge...@broadcom.com (JIRA)]

Roger Geere commented on JENKINS-14250 E-mail field is not automatically populated when a git plugin creates new user. I believe that a change to GitChangeSet.java introduced this problem. commit 222647bfb3a2bce31f0e1ea9193f4b804e7811fe Author: Kohsuke Kawaguchi <k...@kohsuke.org> Date: Wed Mar 21 13:27:40 2012 -0700 if (user == null) user = User.get(csAuthorEmail.split("@")[0], true); // set email address for user if needed if (fixEmpty(csAuthorEmail) != null) { + // set email address for user if none is already available + if (fixEmpty(csAuthorEmail) != null && user.getProperty(Mailer.UserProperty.class)==null) { try { user.addProperty(new Mailer.UserProperty(csAuthorEmail)); } catch (IOException e) { In the case where the call to User.get() causes a new user to be created it seems that the Mailer.UserProperty is already set with a Null string. This is not what I would expect from the documentation but I am not a java expert. So the email address from the commit does not get added to user. At any later stage a call to Mailer.UserProperty.gerAddress() seems to cause an abort. The visible result of this is that there is no creation of a directory and config.xml for the user in the jenkins /users directory. Reverting this single change in the current code version shows that the directory and file start to be created again. I am actually hitting a similar problem with the repo plugin which causes problems for the extended e-mail plugin and suspect it may be a similar issue.
