Mark Waite edited a comment on JENKINS-40545   Re: Caught exception evaluating: h.filterDescriptors(it,attrs.descriptors) in /configure. Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException I am able to duplicate the null pointer exception in h.filterDescriptors without any message from the git plugin.  I believe this is a problem in core, though I could easily be wrong. Steps I take to see the problem: # Clone my docker repository and checkout the lts-with-plugins branch {code}   $ git clone https://github.com/MarkEWaite/docker JENKINS-40545   $ cd JENKINS-40545   $ git checkout -b lts-with-plugins -t origin/lts-with-plugins {code} # Build and run that docker image {code}   $ docker build -t jenkins:JENKINS-40545 .   $ docker run -i --rm --publish 8080:8080 --publish 50000:50000 --publish 18022:18022 -t jenkins:JENKINS-40545 {code} # Open a web browser to http://localhost:8080/ # Click the "Git Client Plugin Folder" folder in that web browser # Click the "Git Client Branches - Maven" multi-branch job # Click the "Configure" link in that multi-branch maven job, and watch the console log from the docker image The console log reports: {noformat} Feb 06, 2017 6:55:04 PM hudson.ExpressionFactory2$JexlExpression evaluate WARNING: Caught exception evaluating: h.filterDescriptors(it,attrs.descriptors) in /job/Git-Folder/job/git-plugin-freestyle-multi-branch/configure.

I don't see that null pointer exception when I configure a freestyle job inside a folder.
