Hello, If I have the SQL Tags option checked when I attempt to do a Find/Replace, I get a NullPointerException. Here are the details: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.sqltags.search.TagSearchProvider$OverridesIterator.next(TagSearchProvider.java:846) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.advance(SearchObjectAggregator.java:116) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.next(SearchObjectAggregator.java:104) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.next(SearchObjectAggregator.java:86) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.next(SearchObjectAggregator.java:30) at com.google.common.collect.Iterators$5.next(Iterators.java:554) at com.google.common.collect.Iterators$7.computeNext(Iterators.java:648) at com.google.common.collect.AbstractIterator.tryToComputeNext(AbstractIterator.java:143) at com.google.common.collect.AbstractIterator.hasNext(AbstractIterator.java:138) at com.google.common.collect.Lists.newArrayList(Lists.java:138) at com.google.common.collect.Iterators.toArray(Iterators.java:339) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchReplaceDialog$SearchTask.run(SearchReplaceDialog.java:932) Ignition v7.5.7 (b1387) Java: Oracle Corporation 1.7.0\_25 If that isn’t checked it works fine with all the others (SQL Bridge, Scripting, Templates, Windows). Any help would be appreciated - thanks! ---

Hi, I believe this was fixed in 7.5.9. Upgrading (probably to the latest, 7.5.10) should take care of this. Regards, ---

Hi, I’m still getting this error as of 7.6.4 and it’s still only when I have the SQL Tags checkbox checked: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.sqltags.search.TagSearchProvider$TagIterator.next(TagSearchProvider.java:667) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.advance(SearchObjectAggregator.java:116) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.next(SearchObjectAggregator.java:104) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.next(SearchObjectAggregator.java:86) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchObjectAggregator.next(SearchObjectAggregator.java:30) at com.google.common.collect.Iterators$6.next(Iterators.java:641) at com.google.common.collect.Iterators$8.computeNext(Iterators.java:735) at com.google.common.collect.AbstractIterator.tryToComputeNext(AbstractIterator.java:143) at com.google.common.collect.AbstractIterator.hasNext(AbstractIterator.java:138) at com.google.common.collect.Lists.newArrayList(Lists.java:144) at com.google.common.collect.Iterators.toArray(Iterators.java:401) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.findreplace.SearchReplaceDialog$SearchTask.run(SearchReplaceDialog.java:932) Ignition v7.6.4 (b2013112117) Java: Oracle Corporation 1.7.0\_45 Thanks, Steve ---
