Catch "Issue Delete"/"Issue Move" events in scriptrunner listener

[Guy Incognito]

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup a scriptrunner listener that is linked to two types of issue events:

- Issue delete

- Issue move

When the event is caught, I want to send a notification in slack.

Problem is, I don't know how to distinguish between the two events within the same listener.

So far I had to split the listener and create one linked to delete event, and another one linked to move event. Both use an event of type "IssueEvent"

---

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.slack.SlackUtil
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
// what else should I import?

def myEventClassName = event.class
def myEntityName
def myEvent
def messageHeader1 = "<!here> *ISSUE DELETED WARNING:*\n"
def messageHeader2 = "<!here> *ISSUE MOVED WARNING:*\n"
def messageHeader

if(event instanceof IssueEvent){ // this where I need to catch the delete event
 messageHeader = messageHeader1
 myEvent = event as IssueEvent
 myEntityName = myEvent.getIssue().getKey()
} else { // this where I need to catch the move event
 messageHeader = messageHeader2
 // blah blah
}

SlackUtil.message(
 "my_slack_connector",
 "my_slack_notification_channel",
 messageHeader+"\n"+myEventClassName+": "+myEntityName,
 [
 username: "My bot",
 icon_emoji : ":myavatar"
 ]
)

Hi @Guy Incognito

You can use this to catch the event type:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def eventTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getEventTypeManager()

def eventTypeName = eventTypeManager.getEventType(event.eventTypeId).getName()

log.error("myEventTypeNameMOVED: "+ eventTypeName)

As I found you have to set the listener to global or you have to define all the project the issues can be moved to. I found that if I just set the listener to one project and I move the issue to another one, you won't catch the issue moved event, only if the listener is global or the target project is included either.

Hope this helps!
