Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Colin Hudler <>]

Grouper 1.6.3. When I run gsh.sh -findbadmemberships -all, it always says:

"Checking Composite Memberships
<..after a few minutes..>
There is no open GrouperSession detected.  Make sure to start a grouper 
session (e.g. GrouperSession.start() ) before calling this method"

Then it exits.

I've hit a dead end debugging it. I can see that the callstack at the 
point it dies:

main
    GrouperSession.staticGrouperSession(boolean) line: 755
    GrouperSession.staticGrouperSession() line: 724
    Composite._getGroup(String) line: 287
    Composite.getOwnerGroup() line: 180
    FindBadMemberships.foundError(Composite) line: 264
    FindBadMemberships.checkComposites() line: 169
    FindBadMemberships.checkAll(PrintStream) line: 150
    FindBadMemberships.main(String[]) line: 114
    NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Method, Object, Object[]) line: 
not available [native method]
    NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Object, Object[]) line: 39
    DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Object, Object[]) line: 25
    Method.invoke(Object, Object...) line: 597
    GrouperShell.handleSpecialCase(String[]) line: 188
    GrouperShell.main(String[]) line: 128
    GrouperShellWrapper.main(String[]) line: 16

The last call into staticGrouperSession() comes from 
FindBadMemberships.foundError(), when it apparently triggers a 
permissions check. However, I know there's a grouper session, right? 
Could it get this far without one? Debugging shows multiple successful 
uses of staticGrouperSession() during initialization, even with 
exceptionOnNull == true.

Debugging reveals that GrouperSession grouperSession = 
staticGrouperSession.get() is indeed null, but only when it was called 
from FindBadMemberships.foundError(), rather than (say) various calls 
through GrouperCheckConfig.

The problem also appears in the shell if I invoke 
FindBadMemberships.checkAll(System.out) without at least storing a 
grouper session in some variable. Unfortunately, I can't work around it 
always, I suspect this is also killing our loader grouper reports.

Any ideas?
