Could not invoke method: getUnassociatedFiles, reason: null

Getting an NPE in the OOTB workflow on certain branches, 7.3.1 on Linux

No clue what is going on. It hangs getting the deployment target. Default.site has the correct node setting.

No idea how to debug. Any clues:

The workflow scans *all* sites in the branch for a default.site file. And by "site" I mean any child folder of /sites/. More than likely, you have one or more folders in there that aren't actually LiveSite sites, and are missing the default.site file.
