Artifact Evidence error

[krishnamanchikalapudi]

Describe the bug

I am using the JFCLI evidence doc to generate artifact evidence for a JAR file recently uploaded to Artifactory using the jf mvn command. However, when following the Artifact Evidence syntax & sample, I encounter the following error panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference Could someone provide guidance on resolving this issue?

Current behavior

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x2 addr=0x90 pc=0x1029ff21c]

Reproduction steps

• Create Artifact credentials jf c add
• Create artifact json file
  echo "{ \"actor\": \"krishnamanchikalapudi\", \"date\": \"$(date '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')\", \"build_name\": \"${BUILD_NAME}\", \"build_id\": \"${BUILD_ID}\", \"evd\":\"Evidence-Artifact\", \"artifact\":\"target/spring-petclinic-3.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar\" }" > ${VAR_EVD_ARTIFACT_JSON}
• Execute evidence-create command
  jf evd create --predicate ./evd-artifact.json --predicate-type https://jfrog.com/evidence/build-signature/v1 --subject-repo-path krishnam-mvn-dev-local/org/springframework/samples/spring-petclinic/3.4.0-SNAPSHOT/spring-petclinic-3.4.0-20250130.180910-6.jar --key ~/.ssh/jfrog_evd_public.pem --key-alias "KRISHNAM_JFROG_EVD_PUBLICKEY"
