[OLD BUILD] NullPointerException: java.lang.NullPointerException Mac OS 10.10.5

[davidjames]

Hello,

I just started getting this error:

Code: Select all

NullPointerException: java.lang.NullPointerException

when trying to rename files. It happens when I drag and drop and when I use the load button. Any idea what's going on? I've checked for logs but nothing in the container in my library.

Cheers

How did you install FileBot? Mac App Store? PKG Installer?

Is there any more information in the log file? (see FAQ for details on how to find the log file)

This command will help you find the logs wherever they may be:

Code: Select all

find ~ -name error.log 2>&1 | grep filebot

Thanks for the reply. It was a PKG install from a few years ago.

I tried to go to, $HOME/Library/Containers/net.filebot.FileBot/Data/Library/Application Support/User Data but I don't have a net.filebot.FileBot file or folder.

Not sure what to do with that command? Do I use terminal?

It was a PKG install from a few years ago.

I'm confused. The new PKG installer didn't exist until FileBot 4.8.2 which was released just a few months ago. Are you using the latest version of FileBot?

Please run filebot -script fn:sysinfo (in Terminal) and post the output. Please also run find ~ -name error.log 2>&1 | grep filebot (in Terminal) and post the output.

Sorry, I downloaded Filebot a while ago from the site and just installed it.

Command not found when I run first one and nothing happens when I run second.

I guess the latest version is worth a try then:
https://www.filebot.net/#download

Select the macOS installer link.

Will do thanks
