NullPointerException: null

[sm-tester]

Hi, I have following a case class:

case class UserResp(
     id: Int,
     firstName: Option[String] = None,
     lastName: Option[String] = None,
     email: Option[String] = None,
     avatar: Option[String] = None,
     avatarW: Option[Int] = None,
     avatarH: Option[Int] = None,
     birthday: Option[String] = None,
     gender: Option[String] = None,
     phone: Option[String] = None,
     height: Option[Int] = None,
     place: Option[Place] = None,
     playedCount: Option[Int] = None,
     missedCount: Option[Int] = None,
     hostedCount: Option[Int] = None,
     evaluations: Option[Float] = None,
     position: Option[GPositions] = None,
     created: Option[Long] = None,
     oAuthPlatform: Option[OAuthPlatform.OAuthPlatform] = None
   )

this is Place case class:

 case class Place(
   id: Option[Int] = None,
   title: Option[String] = None,
   address: Option[String] = None,
   latitude: Option[Float],
   longitude: Option[Float],
   city: Option[String] = None,
   region: Option[String] = None
 )

this is GPositions case class:

case class GPositions(id: Int, name: String)

Appears always following error on Runtime:

I don't understand why appears this error, I did not use recursive types

Hi, I'm using 2.11.8 and Spray-json 1.3.2

…

@Boyfox can you paste how you have your jsonFormat implicits?

[sm-tester]

Hi, here declared implicit:
implicit val userRespFormat: JsonFormat[UserResp] = lazyFormat(jsonFormat(UserResp, "id", "firstName", "lastName", "email", "avatar", "avatarW", "avatarH", "birthday", "gender", "phone", "height", "place","playedCount", "missedCount", "hostedCount", "evaluations", "position", "created", "oAuthPlatform"))

[leo-da]

You need to define implicit JsonFormatters for Place, GPositions and OAuthPlatform... that is for sure.

What I also noticed, please correct me if I am wrong... the order matters, Place, GPositions and OAuthPlatform formatters need to be defined before the UserResp formatter.

However, the NullPointerException is kind of bad and probably should be addressed.

[sm-tester]

ok, I fixed, thank you, you can close or delete this issue

[leo-da]

Just curios... don't you guys want to fix this NPE?

[ktoso]

I did not investigate deeply enough to know, let's re-open this however we're not actively working on it right now.

If you're interested a pull request would be really welcome

[leo-da]

sounds good. I will have a look. I was planning to raise the NPE issue, but found this thread.

Leo

For future readers:
Check the order of implicit jsonformats. If class A has an implicit dependency on class B jsonformats, then class B's jsonformats should be defined before class A.
