Cannot read property 'queryResultType' of null

Cannot read property 'queryResultType' of null

I've found a reason: you need to go to Queries / Share queries select three dots (...) Security you need to Add User Project collection Build service () and specify Read permission to Allow

I get this as well when trying to use shared queries. Also on ADO 2019 On Prem.

I have this same deal with On Prem 2019.

I am also getting this error trying to run a simple shared query.

##[debug]task result: Failed
##[error]Cannot read property 'queryResultType' of null
##[debug]Processed: ##vso[task.issue type=error;]Cannot read property 'queryResultType' of null
##[debug]Processed: ##vso[task.complete result=Failed;]Cannot read property 'queryResultType' of null
Finishing: Send Query Result as E-Mail

How can I resolve this issue?

Having the same problem.

Did you find a solution to this issue?

I guess this is where it fails switch(result.queryResultType) because result is null.
https://github.com/Quadrotech/ADOScheduledWorkItemQuery/blob/master/ado-scheduledworkitemquery-task/ado-scheduledworkitemquery-taskV1/index.ts#L200

This result comes straight out of queryById, so maybe updating that lib might help?

Here's my azure-pipelines.yml

pool:
  vmImage: windows-latest

steps:
- task: ADOScheduledWorkItemQuery@0
  inputs:
    sendMethod: 'SMTP'
    connectedServiceNameSMTP: 'SMTP'
    project: <project id>
    queryType: 'Shared'
    query: <query id>
    sendIEmpty: true
    subject: <subject>
    emailAddresses: <email>

The pipeline log ends with:

##[debug]queryType=Shared
##[debug]query=<query id>
##[debug]null=Shared
##[debug]task result: Failed
##[error]Cannot read property 'queryResultType' of null
