Exception when creating a new API key

Yesterday I upgraded Octopus Deploy from 1.6 to 2.6 to 3.0. It went relatively smoothly, however when I look at API keys, I notice it is missing. So I click “Create New API Key”, typed in “TeamCity Build”, then “Generate New”, and received this exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any help?

Hi Josh,

It looks like something could’ve possibly been missed in the migration, so could you run the below SQL script and send us the results please.

SELECT *
FROM [User]
WHERE [Username] = '{usernamethatgoterror}'

Thank you and warm regards,
Henrik

We had a bad user in the system with incomplete data. Removing this user solved the problem for other users attempting to get API keys.
