Cause 1 - NullPointerException:
An Application Link has become corrupted in the database, possibly due to deletion and recreation.
Cause 2 - IllegalStateException: adminConfig.currentApplication is not properly initialized!
Likely misconfiguration in the hosts file.
Resolution
Cause 1 - NullPointerException:
Shutdown the Bamboo instance.
Connect to the Bamboo database and execute the following SQL queries:
Always back up your data before making any database modifications. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
The following queries will remove all application links, even those that are working correctly. So, if you have more than application integrated with Bamboo, try to remove the links from the UI and contact support for more help.
1 2 3 4 5DELETE FROM trusted_apps_ips; DELETE FROM trusted_apps_urls; DELETE FROM trusted_apps; DELETE FROM bandana WHERE bandana_key LIKE '%applink%'; DELETE FROM bandana WHERE bandana_key LIKE '%com.atlassian.oauth%';Edit the
<bamboo-home>/xml-data/configuration/administration.xmlfile and remove the entire<currentApplication>tag, if it exists. For example, delete the lines below:1 2 3 4 5<currentApplication> <applicationId>C0A80F180131E4494C2071A449684E94</applicationId> <publicKey>MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAgH2SbSdLy4vKr/A0zeAO$</publicKey> <privateKey>MIIEvAIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBKYwggSiAgEAAoIBAQCAfZJtJ0vLi8q$</privateKey> </currentApplication>Restart the Bamboo instance.
Go to the other application(s) you want to link to Bamboo and remove any application links related to Bamboo.
Try to configure the the Application Link between the other application(s) and Bamboo again using the correct authentication method, which depends on the user base.
Cause 2 - IllegalStateException: adminConfig.currentApplication is not properly initialized!
Ensure you have configured /etc/hosts (Linux) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows):
Run the following command from a Terminal:
1 2 3 4 5# check your $HOSTNAME echo $HOSTNAME # try to ping $HOSTNAME ping $HOSTNAMEIf it returns "ping: cannot resolve <hostname>: Unknown host" then add an entry into your /etc/hosts file. For that edit /etc/hosts file and add following:
1 2127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 <hostname>
