Bug 311396 NPE thrown when trying to close a part that hasn't been restored
Reported: 2010-05-03 13:26:36 | Status: resolved fixed

An NPE is thrown because we try to ask the part for a context. However, if the part hasn't been rendered yet, we'll get null back. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.e4.workbench.ui.renderers.swt.StackRenderer$6.close(StackRenderer.java:449) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.CTabFolder.onMouse(CTabFolder.java:1590) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.CTabFolder$1.handleEvent(CTabFolder.java:261) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1052) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:4066) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3657) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.internal.PartRenderingEngine$4.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:517) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.internal.PartRenderingEngine.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:455) at org.eclipse.e4.workbench.ui.internal.E4Workbench.createAndRunUI(E4Workbench.java:100) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$3.run(Workbench.java:533) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:519) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:115) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:369) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:179) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:48) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:37) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:600) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:619) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:574) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1407) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1383)
