NullPointerException at VariablesReplaceBuilder.replaceFileContent (VariablesReplaceBuilder.java:55) on Jenkins 2.277.3

Hi,

I really like this plugin but since the last Jenkins upgrade (to 2.277.3) I see an exception in the log when executing the plugin in a new job:

ERROR: Build step failed with exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.jeeday.jenkins.variablesReplace.VariablesReplaceBuilder.replaceFileContent(VariablesReplaceBuilder.java:55)
at com.jeeday.jenkins.variablesReplace.VariablesReplaceBuilder.perform(VariablesReplaceBuilder.java:50)

Furthermore I have the feeling the UI is a bit odd when adding "Variables Replace" as a new build step:

i.e. I see 3 sections for "Name" & "Value" where I would only expect one.

And (maybe totally unrelated) I have one existing job which seems broken right after the "Variables Replace" plugin:

i.e. the UI seems strange and I cant save/update this job...

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!
Michael

I'm having issues as well in 2.289.1

Looks like there are some issues in the html structure (repeatable.js)

That's a shame I can't find any similar plugin
