Hue Binding v2.5.6-SNAPSHOT // NullPointerException Errors on startup

Add-ons Bindings
#1

I updated to v2.5.6-SNAPSHOT yesterday and I am seeing a lot of NullPointerException Errors when I start up the system. I think there is one such exception for each Hue Thing in my system, but I am showing just one of them below. => Any thoughts about a solution?

2020-06-03 13:47:33.059 [ERROR] [core.thing.internal.ThingManagerImpl] - Exception occurred while initializing handler of thing 'hue:0100:g24:b16': null

Snapshots are unstable. Issues should be reported on Github where they can be fixed.
Snapshots are not designed for daily use. They are for testing purposes only.

The only exception I know of are zwave binding where the snapshot usually just have an updated device database. Not much active development there otherwise, right now.

Yes @Bruce_Osborne I am not an idiot. I am testing. And I have found errors. And I am reporting them here.

#4

Which is the wrong place. Many developers are not here. That is my point.

#5

Please open an issue in Github.
There was a recent refactoring in the hue binding not by myself.

Many thanks. The snapshot distribution is erroring (on openhabian) right now, but I will test it as soon as I do get the new snapshot installed.

Just to confirm: it is indeed fixed. Many thanks for your help.
