HPM Stopped in initial setup

[budjik-tech]

The install seems to hang or timeout at: "Retrieving list of installed drivers"

Hubitat app log
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'location' on null object on line 2269 (downloadFileAsyncCallback)

code:
def packagesToMatchAgainst = [] for (uri in results.keySet()) { def result = results[uri] def manifestContents = result.result if (manifestContents == null) log.error "Found a bad manifest ${pkg.location}. Please notify the package developer." else {

thebearmay assisted with this suggestion on line 2269: ${pkg?.location}
So changed line to:
log.error "Found a bad manifest ${pkg?.location}. Please notify the package developer."

Installation completed and I was able to Update and Install packages.

It would be nice to know which application/driver was causing the error so perhaps logging during the iteration or key during error may assist.

Same issue. Anytime running "Match" results in this error. Several forum users reporting same thing.

Given the info above, does this mean someone can break HPM by just pushing a bad/malformed manifest to github?
