There is a race condition in the basic and power user portal. In slower environments if there are both VMs and pools, if the run VM is executed, a NPE is thrown. It does not do too much damage since it happens only after the command has been sent to server, but the popup with unhandled exception is shown anyway. Reproduce: 1: have an engine server which is running for some reason quite slow (e.g. slow network between frontend and backend or the engine machine is loaded or something). If the queries return fast it will not reproduce 2: have both VMs and pools 3: click "run" on any VM 4: there is an exception thrown
Tomas - any reason for both this bug and bug 1296458 to be open?
Einav - no reason. The bugzilla behaved strange when I have opened this bug and seems I have accidentally opened it more times. Closing this one *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1296458 ***
