Cannot invoke "org.rundeck.storage.api.Path.getPath()" because "path" is null

[len-ro]

Hello,

In the process of migrating rundeck 4.17 -> 5.1.2 I noticed none of the jobs ran due to:

[quartzScheduler_Worker-1] - Execution failed: 394004 in project symphony: [Workflow result: , step failures: {2=PluginFailed: Cannot invoke "org.rundeck.storage.api.Path.getPath()" because "path" is null}, Node failures: {devops.diapason-treasury.com=[]}, status: failed]

After investigation I found the stackTrace to be, related to tag v3.2.9:

Failed executing step plugin [com.batix.rundeck.plugins.AnsiblePlaybookWorkflowStep]: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.rundeck.storage.api.Path.getPath()" because "path" is null

	at com.dtolabs.rundeck.core.execution.workflow.BaseWorkflowExecutor.executeWFItem(BaseWorkflowExecutor.java:285)

I managed to fix this by modifying AnsibleRunnerBuilder.java:

public String getPassphraseStorageData(String storagePath) throws ConfigurationException {
        if(storagePath == null) {
            return null;
        }
        Path path = PathUtil.asPath(storagePath);

to return null if storagePath is null.

I am providing the fix if someone needs it also.
Thank you.
