ghProjectCard.content.repository is null

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Try to call getRepository on an issue instantiated from a getContent call on a GHProjectCard throws an NPE.

val gitHub = GitHubBuilder.fromPropertyFile().build()
println(gitHub.myself)
val project = gitHub.getOrganization(organization).listProjects().single { it.number == projectNumber }
val issues = project.listColumns().flatMap { ghProjectColumn ->
    println("Scanning column: ${ghProjectColumn.name}")
    ghProjectColumn.listCards().mapNotNull { ghProjectCard ->
        ghProjectCard.content?.run {
            SecurityBoardIssue(
                title = title,
                dateCreated = createdAt,
                column = ghProjectColumn.name,
                repository = repository.name // throws NPE
            )
        }
    }
}

Expected behavior

Should be able to determine the repository that a project card originates from.

It is still there. root streamlining did not fix this. @JLLeitschuh Great analysis. Thanks.

@JLLeitschuh Here’s the getContent() method: https://github.com/hub4j/github-api/blob/2dc736ab2135bc200903f4bae887ac137c9cfc13/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/github/GHProjectCard.java#L124-L136

GHPullRequest extends GHIssue so the we only need to change GHIssue.getRepository(). https://github.com/hub4j/github-api/blob/2dc736ab2135bc200903f4bae887ac137c9cfc13/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/github/GHIssue.java#L87-L90

Add a null check. If null, get the URL for this item this.getUrl(), truncate it to get the repository url, and retrieve the repository using that url. Does that make sense?

Rough example:

public GHRepository getRepository() {
    if (owner == null) {
        String repositoryUrlPath = getRepositoryUrlPath();
        owner = root().createRequest().withUrlPath(repositoryUrlPath).fetch(GHRepository.class);
    }
    return owner;
}

private String getRepositoryUrlPath() {
    String url = getUrl().toString();
    int index = url.indexOf("/issues");
    if (index == -1) {
        index = url.indexOf("/pulls");
    } 
    return url.substring(0, index);
}
