Since Jira 8.x, Scriptrunner JiraUtils.loadComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class) is deprecated

[Cedric Delavy]

With Scriptrunner in a Postfunction of a worflow, I use the JiraUtils.loadComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class) to do a workflow transition. But since release 8.x, this method is deprecated.

I tried to use JiraUtils.loadComponent("workflowTransitionUtil", WorkflowTransitionUtilFactoryImpl.class ) where workflowTransitionUtil is the Class Name. But I get this error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: workflowTransitionUtil. I tried many values without any success

Any idea which Class Name should I use ?

Thanks

Hi @Cedric Delavy 

Here you have an example:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.TransitionOptions

Issue issue
Integer actionId = 61 // The transition ID

IssueService issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
TransitionOptions transitionOptions = new TransitionOptions.Builder()
        .skipConditions()
        .skipPermissions()
        .skipValidators()
        .build()

IssueService.TransitionValidationResult result = issueService.validateTransition(currentUser,
        issue.getId(),
        actionId,
        issueService.newIssueInputParameters(),
        transitionOptions)

if (result.isValid()) {
    issueService.transition(currentUser, result)
} else {
    log.warn result.getErrorCollection().getErrors()
}

Thank you very much, this works perfectly

Hi Alejandro,

Thanks for detailing the alternative class - I was trying to amend your script to use it to transition the parent issue by switching issue.getId() with issue.getParentId() but it's returning a 'Cannot invoke method getParentObject() on null object'
Is it feasible to amend the script to transition the parent?

Thanks
Mike

Hi @ADC UK maybe the problem is what you consider a "parent". You only can get a parent from a subtask. If you want to get the Epic for example, you need to get the issue with IssueLinkManager
