NPE on notification using Email publisher

[RaphC]

Hi

Current Behavior:

I got a NPE while dependency-track try to notify after BOM processed

Steps to Reproduce:

Configure an smtp Add an alert (INFORMATIONAL on PORTOFOLIO) and then select BOM_PROCESSED Upload a BOM from the UI and wait analysis performed

Expected Behavior:

Received an email

Environment:

• Dependency-Track 3.6.1:
• Distribution: Docker
• BOM Format & Version: CycloneDx 1.1
• Database Server: MySQL
• Browser: chrome

Additional Details:

Seems Email publisher attribute not set if I look at NotificationRouter.java:60 source code

final Class<?> publisherClass = Class.forName(rule.getPublisher().getPublisherClass());

Whereas slack, console, webhook, microsoft teams publihser are ok

Record in database seems ok

For some reason, the publisher is blank. I just tried with 3.6.1 and could not reproduce.

Hi @stevespringett , after restarting dependency-track the problem was resolved. A cache ?

I notice if I edit my alert publisher is blank during a while and after a few seconds the correct value 'SendMailPublisher' appears ...

Or a database request latency that make SQL join between NOTIFICATIONRULE and NOTIFICATIONPUBLISHER tables slow ?
