After doing a local commit and trying to create a patch from the history view I get the following when I press the 'Finish' button in the patch creation wizard: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext.run(ModalContext.java:421) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.run(WizardDialog.java:1029) at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.GitCreatePatchWizard.performFinish(GitCreatePatchWizard.java:141) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.finishPressed(WizardDialog.java:827) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.buttonPressed(WizardDialog.java:432) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$2.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:624) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener.java:240) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1053) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:4165) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3754) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java:825) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:801) at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.GitCreatePatchWizard.run(GitCreatePatchWizard.java:101) at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.command.CreatePatchHandler.execute(CreatePatchHandler.java:34) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.HandlerProxy.execute(HandlerProxy.java:293) at org.eclipse.core.commands.Command.executeWithChecks(Command.java:476) at org.eclipse.core.commands.ParameterizedCommand.executeWithChecks(ParameterizedCommand.java:508) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.HandlerService.executeCommand(HandlerService.java:169) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.SlaveHandlerService.executeCommand(SlaveHandlerService.java:241) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.SlaveHandlerService.executeCommand(SlaveHandlerService.java:241) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.SlaveHandlerService.executeCommand(SlaveHandlerService.java:241) at org.eclipse.ui.menus.CommandContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection(CommandContributionItem.java:829) at org.eclipse.ui.menus.CommandContributionItem.access$19(CommandContributionItem.java:815) at org.eclipse.ui.menus.CommandContributionItem$5.handleEvent(CommandContributionItem.java:805) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1053) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:4165) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3754) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:2696) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2660) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$4(Workbench.java:2494) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$7.run(Workbench.java:674) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:667) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:123) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:344) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:179) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:622) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:577) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1410) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1386) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.FileDiff.getProjectRelativePath(FileDiff.java:222) at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.FileDiff.outputEclipseDiff(FileDiff.java:175) at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.FileDiff.outputDiff(FileDiff.java:162) at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.history.GitCreatePatchWizard$1.run(GitCreatePatchWizard.java:169) at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext$ModalContextThread.run(ModalContext.java:121)
You may want to test this with EGit nightly as we reworked the patch creation.
Probably a duplicate of bug 343276?
Michael, did your commit include changes in files that are not in your Eclipse workspace (or alternatively is in a _closed_ project)? Also, where did you get EGit? I'm guessing you instaled it from the Indigo site?

Still an issue?
(In reply to comment #5) > Still an issue? I have not seen this again since reporting it. So if you think it is fixed, then close it.
An NPE there was fixed in the nightly: http://git.eclipse.org/c/egit/egit.git/commit/?id=3535a3e37bca6fee8f69c4d4592d7895f6d08db7 Maybe this was the problem. Let's close this, please reopen if you encounter it again.
