Object Reference error when updating variable set

[lmandersoni]

Receiving Object Reference error when updating variable set through the API. I’m including the version. This started occurring after updating to 2020.5.8.

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

I did a GET on https://octopus.test.com/api/Spaces-1/variables/variableset-LibraryVariableSets-4
Took the response, made my change and PUT on https://octopus.test.com/api/Spaces-1/variables/variableset-LibraryVariableSets-4

Hi @lmandersoni,

Thanks for getting in touch! I will need some further information to get a better idea what could be going wrong here.

Would you be able to provide the script you are using to make these changes? (remove any sensitive information such as url/api key)

You mention upgrading to 2020.5.8, did this same script work before the upgrade? If so, which version did you upgrade from?

I think the above bits of information will help me get started with some testing and I can try to identify what is going wrong here.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

We were on 2020.1.15. I was able to update the variable set through Postman. octopus.py (9.7 KB)
Here is the script that was working.

Thanks- L
