JNY Task Breadcrumb widget breaking on sn_doc_task records Description Users receive a null pointer error when opening a doc task because of two reasons:

1. doc task's aren't a type of task which is currently supported

2. the breadcrumbs widget doesn't check for null values before querying.

Steps to Reproduce

1.) Navigate to the ESC portal 2) Open any doc task if you have one, if not create a journey with a doc task 3) Once a doc task is opened, observe the error banner (screenshot attached) java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "Object.toString()" because "value" is null Failing widget: 'JNY Task Breadcrumb' (7b6bcd340f1f01102208555db4767e66)

Workaround 1. In sys_script_include_f81f3353c35901102920b8889d40dd3f.xml in getSecondHighestParent() change

var task = new GlideRecord('sn_hr_core_task');

to

var task = new GlideRecord('task');

2. In sp_widget_7b6bcd340f1f01102208555db4767e66.xml in the server script change

if (!gr.get('related_record', new jny_JourneyService().getSecondHighestParent(data.sysIdURL)))

to

var secondHighestParent = new jny_JourneyService().getSecondHighestParent(data.sysIdURL); if (!secondHighestParent || !gr.get('related_record', secondHighestParent)) Related Problem: PRB1946455
