SQLcl project stage errors out:

Benny VaessenJul 24 2026

Hi,

I am trying to set up my project source structure using sqlcl project and following the instructions as in https://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2025/05/getting-started-with-sqlcl-projects/ for an existing codebase.

Everything works fine until a I try to stage. The statement runs into the following error:

ERROR: An error has occurred processing your request:
Cannot invoke "String.toLowerCase()" because the return value of "oracle.dbtools.extension.project.commands.stage.services.StageEntryDescriptor.objectName()" is null

I have added the complete output of the stage statement as an attachment.

My environment:

Oracle database: Oracle Free Autonomous 19c

APEX 26.1.1.

SQLcl 26.2

Can someone help me in solving this error? Am I missing something?

stage.log

Thanks in advance,

Benny
