@future failed. Attempt to de-reference a null object

Hello,

The business requirement is to have a lookup relation ship between a Contract and Opportunity. A field on the opportunity must get the SUM of a custom field on the Contracts which belong to the opportunity. I use the @future annotation to increase the CPU time, however, I get an error "Attempt to de-reference a null object".

Here's the code. I got the error on line 6 where I define the Set<ID>
public class contractRollUpCLASS {
    @future
    public static void calculate() {
  
    //limit the size of list by using Sets which do not contain duplicate elements.
    Set<ID> oppIds = new Set<ID>();

    
    //when adding new or updating existing contracts.
    if(trigger.isInsert || trigger.isUpdate) {
        
        for(Contract con : (List<Contract>)trigger.new) {
        
            if(con.Is_Obsolete__c == false)
            oppIds.add(con.Renewal_Opportunity__c);
        }
    }
    
    
    //when deleting contracts.
    if(trigger.isDelete){
        
        for(Contract con : (List<Contract>)trigger.old ) {
           if(con.Is_Obsolete__c == false)
            oppIds.add(con.Renewal_Opportunity__c);
        }
    } 
    System.debug('***************NUMBER OF IDS ************** : '+ String.ValueOf(oppIds.size()));
    
    //Map will contain one Opportunity Id to one sum value.
    map<Id, Double> OpportunityMap = new Map<Id,Double>();
    
    List<Opportunity> oppsToUpdate = new List<Opportunity>();
    
    //aggregate result.
    for(AggregateResult q : [SELECT Renewal_Opportunity__c, SUM(Latest_PD_Renewal_Amount__c) sumLatest FROM Contract WHERE Renewal_Opportunity__c IN : oppIds AND Latest_PD_Renewal_Amount__c != null GROUP BY Renewal_Opportunity__c]) {
        OpportunityMap.put((Id)q.get('Renewal_Opportunity__c'),(Double)q.get('sumLatest'));
    }
    
    for(Opportunity opp : [SELECT Id, Annual_Maintenance_Value__c FROM Opportunity WHERE Id IN : oppIds]) {

        Double sumLatestPD = OpportunityMap.get(opp.Id);
        opp.Annual_Maintenance_Value__c = sumLatestPD;
        oppsToUpdate.add(opp);     
    }    
    update oppsToUpdate;   
    
}
}

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try to call your future method like below

   contractRollUpCLASS.calculate(Trigger.newMap.keySet());

Pass the in in Param and query the record again. try to remove Trigger.New from Future method
