Re: Bug in ViewResponseHelper.java of 4627fb2

["Tutkowski, Mike" <Mi...@netapp.com>]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to follow up on this. I was going to open a PR on this, but I realized after a rebase that it had been fixed already in this commit: 4627fb2.

Talk to you later!

    I can open up a PR with my fix.
    
    The problem is that you shouldn’t pass in null for the key of a ConcurrentHashMap, but the code can do this for data disks on VMware (hence the NullPointerException).

    What is the line in that class that may generate a NPE? 291?
    Please do open a PR to propose a fix for this situation.

    Hi,
    
    I noticed an issue today with a fairly recent commit: 4627fb2.
    
    In ViewResponseHelper.java, a NullPointerException can be thrown when
    interacting with a data disk on VMware because the disk chain value in
    cloud.volumes can have a value of NULL.
    
    I can put in a check for NULL and avoid the NullPointerException, but
    perhaps someone knows the history of why this particular field is used in
    this case and can fill me in.
    
    Thanks!
    Mike
