Hi,
We have created a vCenter plugin which adds custom action set menu on VMs, Datastores, Hosts, and Clusters.
In HTML Web Client, when we right-click on the corresponding objects (or) click on actions and try to view the custom action menus it was always showing as "Loading...".
Whereas the same menu is loading in Flex Client without any issues.
When I checked in browser console I was able to find this error logged in there:
"POST https://<VCENTER-IP>/ui/actionsService/menus/com.our.plugin.id.custom.actionSet.menus 500 (Internal Server Error)", followed by notificationService::handleError, showing a huge error stack for a null pointer exception.
PFA screenshot and click here to view the complete error stack JSON, returned by the POST call.

This issue got resolved after restarting the HTML5 web client service.
vCenter version: "vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 Update 1d | 19 December 2017 | Build 7312210"
vSphere Client version: 6.5.0.10000
Browsers used for testing: Chrome (v66.0) and Firefox (v58.02) Latest versions
There are no specific steps to reproduce this issue.
- We installed our plugin in VCSA machine and opened HTML5 web client.
- Before trying to access the action set menu there were few configurations which had to be done through our plugin UI, which was all working fine.
- Now try to right click / click on actions after selecting supported objects. - That's when we hit this issue.
