java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.myfaces.cdi.util.AbstractContextualStorageHolder.destroyAll(AbstractContextualStorageHolder.java:201)

During my integration testing for the new scripts I ran into this issue.

It seems that some viewstate "pointers" are not cleared up properly in my test case, and reference after a while state entries which have dropped out of the state history.

The problem is not related to my scripts, because the same test works for jsf 2.3 flawlessly with the same scripts and a 2.3 shim. So the Javascript code executed is the same.

Reproducible: 

https://github.com/werpu/myfaces-js-integrationtests/tree/faces_40_viestate_bug

then run the project via  mvn clean clean install exec:java -f pom.xml

then point your browser to: http://localhost:8080/IntegrationJSTest/loop/test8-navcase1.jsf?autoTest=true

or follow the link to the loop navigation test in the index.html

The test case performs an implicit Ajax navigation by sending a faces.request execute on a command link, which triggers the navigation.

Note, only the command link is sent as execute not the entire form, but the entire form is refreshed.

Let it run, after roughly a minute you should get following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

viewId=/loop/test8-navcase1.xhtml
location=/Users/werpu2/development/workspace/myfaces-js-integrationtests/src/main/webapp/loop/test8-navcase1.xhtml
