ERROR : org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException

Hi!

I am getting this error when creating a new issue. This is a new 4.4 installation.

Invocation of method 'format' in class com.atlassian.jira.datetime.DateTimeFormatterImpl threw exception class java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException : String index out of range: -1 at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTMethod.execute(ASTMethod.java:251) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTReference.execute(ASTReference.java:175) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTReference.render(ASTReference.java:220) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.SimpleNode.render(SimpleNode.java:230) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.VelocimacroProxy.render(VelocimacroProxy.java:171) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTDirective.render(ASTDirective.java:114) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.SimpleNode.render(SimpleNode.java:230) at org.apache.velocity.Template.merge(Template.java:256) at org.apache.velocity.app.VelocityEngine.mergeTemplate(VelocityEngine.java:422) at com.atlassian.velocity.DefaultVelocityManager.getEncodedBody(DefaultVelocityManager.java:77) at com.atlassian.velocity.DefaultVelocityManager.getEncodedBody(DefaultVelocityManager.java:61) at com.atlassian.velocity.DefaultVelocityManager.getEncodedBody(DefaultVelocityManager.java:56) at com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.AbstractOrderableField.renderTemplate(AbstractOrderableField.java:180) at com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.DueDateSystemField.getEditHtml(DueDateSystemField.java:94) at

There's really not enough information to tell. You probably should just log a support ticket with atlassian, although being 4.4 not sure if you can. Have you installed any plugins? Of so, one of these could be causing issues. Other issues may be workflow functions that you have added or something. As I said, not enough information with just that stack trace.

JIRA 4.4 is now live, so definitely raise a support ticket.
