Invoke Git action from my custom action properly
Answered
I want to show the dialog related to the creation of a new git branch in my custom action:
package com.michaelcozzolino.dynamicgitbranch.actions;
import com.intellij.openapi.actionSystem.AnActionEvent;
import com.intellij.openapi.project.DumbAwareAction;
import com.intellij.openapi.project.Project;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;
class GitNewBranchAction extends DumbAwareAction {
public GitNewBranchAction() {
}
@Override
public void actionPerformed(@NotNull AnActionEvent e) {
e.getActionManager().getAction("Git.New.Branch.In.Log").actionPerformed(e);
}
/**
* Determines whether this menu item is available for the current context.
* Requires a project to be open.
*
* @param e Event received when the associated group-id menu is chosen.
*/
@Override
public void update(AnActionEvent e) {
// Set the availability based on whether a project is open
Project project = e.getProject();
e.getPresentation().setEnabledAndVisible(project != null);
}
}
I'm getting Null pointer exception when calling actionPerformed(e) on the git action. While with other actions not related to git it works. what am I doing wrong?

Hi Michael,
What is the exact exception? Is it called because the action is null, or does it happen deeper in the stacktrace? Please always provide the full information.

this expression works correctly
java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi Michael,
This action has been registered with ID since 2022.3. What version do you use?
Karol Lewandowski
I'm using
platformVersion = 2023.1
This action needs to have initialized `com.intellij.dvcs.ui.NewBranchAction#myRepositories` field, see `git4idea.ui.branch.GitBranchPopup#fillWithCommonRepositoryActions` initialization.
Also, call the action in the following way:
AnActionEvent event = createAnEvent(e); if (ActionUtil.lastUpdateAndCheckDumb(myAction, event, true)) { ActionUtil.performActionDumbAwareWithCallbacks(myAction, event); }
