Travis CI failing `should properly compose sourcemaps when multiple transformations are chained` test

Here’s the error I see in the most recent build:

gulp-google-[secure]: TypeError: Cannot read property 'b' of null
    at l6b (/home/travis/build/google/[secure]/node_modules/[secure]-npm/packages/google-[secure]-js/jscomp.js:8755:375)
    at zxd (/home/travis/build/google/[secure]/node_modules/[secure]-npm/packages/google-[secure]-js/jscomp.js:8175:160)
    at h2b (/home/travis/build/google/[secure]/node_modules/[secure]-npm/packages/google-[secure]-js/jscomp.js:6209:103)
    at Z1b (/home/travis/build/google/[secure]/node_modules/[secure]-npm/packages/google-[secure]-js/jscomp.js:8416:290)

which causes a test failure

  1) gulp-google-[secure]
       javascript version
         should properly compose sourcemaps when multiple transformations are chained:

I’ve debugged the sourcemap issue some more. Here’s the stack trace causing a test failure w/ a pretty-printed GWT compiler:

Here’s the compiled $getSourceMapping method:

function $getSourceMapping(this$static, sourceName, lineNumber, columnNumber){
  var consumer, relativePath, result, resultOriginalPath, source, sourceMap, sourceMapOriginalPath;
  if (sourceName == null) {
    return null;
  }
  sourceMap = castTo($get_23(this$static.inputSourceMaps, sourceName), 434);
  if (!sourceMap) {
    return null;
  }
  consumer = $getSourceMap(sourceMap, this$static.errorManager);
  if (!consumer) {
    return null;
  }
  result = $getMappingForLine(consumer, lineNumber, columnNumber + 1);
  if (!result) {
    return null;
  }
  sourceMapOriginalPath = sourceMap.sourceFile.fileName;
  resultOriginalPath = result.originalFile;
  source = null;
  if ($equals_19(sourceMapOriginalPath, this$static.resolvedSourceMap.originalPath) && $equals_19(resultOriginalPath, this$static.resolvedSourceMap.sourceMapPath)) {
    source = this$static.resolvedSourceMap.sourceFile;
  }
   else {
    relativePath = resolveSibling(sourceMapOriginalPath, resultOriginalPath);
    source = $getSourceFileByName(this$static, relativePath);
    if (!source && !!resultOriginalPath) {
      source = null;
      !!source && $putIfAbsent_0(this$static.sourceMapOriginalSources, relativePath, source);
    }
    this$static.resolvedSourceMap.originalPath = sourceMapOriginalPath;
    this$static.resolvedSourceMap.sourceMapPath = resultOriginalPath;
    this$static.resolvedSourceMap.sourceFile = source;
  }
  return $build_6($setColumnPosition($setOriginalFile($setIdentifier($setColumnPosition($setLineNumber($setOriginalFile(new Mapping$OriginalMapping$Builder, result.originalFile), result.lineNumber), result.columnPosition), result.identifier), source.fileName), result.columnPosition - 1));
}

The stack trace points to the last line in the function,

  return $build_6($setColumnPosition($setOriginalFile($setIdentifier($setColumnPosition($setLineNumber($setOriginalFile(new Mapping$OriginalMapping$Builder, result.originalFile), result.lineNumber), result.columnPosition), result.identifier), source.fileName), result.columnPosition - 1));

implying that source is null.

This function corresponds togetSourceMapping in Compiler.java: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/blob/4bf54b232b13162f6c621b2d1f12cddab5b00701/src/com/google/javascript/jscomp/Compiler.java#L2871

https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/commit/dac995ac563bfe3170280899112699845768e135 introduced a reference to source in the return for that function without first checking that it’s non-null. Probably source was already null in the GWT compiled test before that commit, but it just didn’t matter earlier.

I don’t know why it’s only null in the GWT tests though. That might be an unrelated bug?

Bradford pointed out that prior to https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/commit/dac995ac563bfe3170280899112699845768e135 the Travis build was failing with what looks like a timeout.
