Hello @Siedlerchr, I can confirm this issue persists on Windows 10 when using the latest portable version: JabRef 5.6--2022-01-30--8ca6b7f and is reproduced using the steps above in the original post. I would like to look into this issue myself if possible; I have never contributed to an open source project before but I am quite familiar with Java and see this listed as a good first issue. I am currently reading documentation and familiarizing myself with JabRef's codebase, do you have any other suggestions to get me started? |

@RyanEubank Welcome to JabRef! From the stack strace it seems the issue arose somewhere here. For getting started, just follow the contribution guide: https://devdocs.jabref.org/contributing#contribute-code |

Thanks, I believe I found and fixed the issue; just a simple one line change. However, I've noticed the master branch fails a few tests when running gradlew check, unrelated to any changes here. Is this an issue before submitting any pull requests? |

@RyanEubank no worries, if the Unit test pass on CI/ GitHub action it's fine. |
The change fixes an issue where opening the console at the current library caused a null reference exception. The original error occurred due to an explicit null value being passed into the action's constructor. The fix supplies the correct database to the action when called. See: JabRef#8466
Added Junit tests cases to verify that commands retrieve the correct database, and that the command defaults to the active database otherwise. Tests cases added in response to a bug fix, see: JabRef#8466
