I'm running into a null pointer exception when trying to start coldbox as a REST API using a lucee instance created by commandbox. The error doesn't offer many clues. I'm using coldbox 6.6.1 and Lucee 5.3.8.206. This startup failure does not occur on our shared dev, stage, qa, or production environments, only locally. I've set up my local development server as closely to our shared dev server as I can, however, the following explicit differences are present: • I'm using windows and shared dev is on linux • I'm using EHCache vs Redis There is one post on stackoverflow with the same issue but no answer. I'm out of ideas.

@david.kreimer This is a known Lucee bug

I wish I had asked 2 days ago

If you find and get rid of whatever is erroring when the site comes up, you can usually circumvent it, lol

Yeah, I haven't seen any errors during the startup in the logs or on screen. The code I'm running is the same as what's on our shared dev server (which has been working for months without issue). Thanks for the idea. I think I can stop pulling my hair out 🙂

that did it.. i know exactly where the problem is. i just didnt clone a repo because i thought i didnt need it for my minimal example app deployment smh.

Meh, who knows. That error bit me for a while too

excellent. I'll prep my devops/IT team for that 😄 i'm using RC3 now
