Null pointer exception

[showaid]

Dear Erudika,

I don't know whether you notice this issue, but NullPointerException happens when I try to login before a cookie was made.

It's easy to reproduce the error:

1. Open a browser(e.g. chrome) in a secret mode.
2. Try to login scoold.
3. That's it!

Exception is as below: org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException at

Fixed in v1.28.5.

@showaid BTW, I saw that you posted a question about the "questions near me" feature on Scoold. Indeed, there was a small bug which prevented it from working correctly before 1.28.5. Please, try it now.

[showaid]

@albogdano I've successfully tested "questions near me" feature on Scoold live(live.scoold.com). But it doesn't work on my local environment. I configured not only Scoold but also Para on my laptop and it didn't work. On the other hand, the feature worked when I changed the Para from local to Paraio(paraio.com). It seems that the feature is affected by data store which para uses.

[albogdano]

Ok, this is possible, I'll check the LuceneSearch implementation. What are the symptoms? You just don't get any results?

[albogdano]

@showaid Fixed it!

[showaid]

@albogdano It works! Perfect!
