Getting Attempt to de-reference a null object for Community User in Salesforce after update version to latest

[Miller21mi]

Hi ,

I recently updated the version of an unmanaged package, and I’m encountering an issue with the logger.saveLog() method.

When triggered by a community user, logger.saveLog() throws a "System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object" error.
However, when triggered by a regular user, it works without any issues.
Here’s the error log I’m getting:

Class.Logger.saveLog: line 3681, column 1

Any insights on what might be causing this null pointer exception and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi @Miller21mi - there have been a few people recently impacted by this, but I think it'll be resolved once I merge & release PR #831 (hopefully today or tomorrow).

Hi again @Miller21mi - this should now be fixed in release v4.15.5. If you have any more issues with it, please let me know!
