Issue with JMWE 'Scripted (Groovy) Validator'

[Sadath Ali Syed]

I am using 'Scripted (Groovy) Validator' on a Jira SD project workflow on create transition. Though the condition is false, I am able to create an issue. After the issue is created, when I go to the validator and 'Test Groovy Script' for the created issue, it is returning false. Not sure how the issue is getting created in first place. Any idea?

Hi @Sadath Ali Syed ,

it probably means that the condition actually returns true during the issue creation. It could be because Jira Service Management does not set a field value "on time" for the validator to see it.

If you share your validator code, I might be able to figure out what could be wrong.

if ((issue.getAsHtml("attachment").endsWith("pdf")) && (issue.get("customfield_11907") != "Yes")) {
return false
}
else {
return true
}

@David Fischer - The requirement is to enforce users to set one of the radio buttons field to Yes when they attach a pdf attachment.

[David Fischer]

You can't test the attachment field for that, as the attachments are not yet added to the issue when the validator runs (in case validation fails).

To access the attachments added on the transition screen, use the getTransitionAttachments() global function:

issue.get("customfield_11907") == "Yes" || !getTransitionAttachments()?.any{it.mimetype == "application/pdf"}

@David Fischer - Getting the below error when I use the above. Am I doing something wrong here.

Message:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: script_3409a5defb8f9b2823960a64d5a35675.getTransitionAttachments() is applicable for argument types: () values: []

Are you using the latest version of JMWE?

[Sadath Ali Syed]

@David Fischer I updated to latest version of JMWE and doesnt get the above error. However, the code you provided is returning true even if the custom field is not 'Yes'. Could you please help me with it.

[David Fischer]

@Sadath Ali Syed you tested it after publishing the workflow, right? Not in the Groovy Tester which won't see attachments since there is no current transition running during testing.

[Sadath Ali Syed]

@David Fischer - Yes, I did publish the workflow and created ticket attaching pdf and marking the custom field as No. I was able to create ticket. I should have thrown error message from the validator, but it did not.

[David Fischer]

@Sadath Ali Syed was the attachment fully loaded when you clicked on Create? It might take some time for Jira to upload the attachment, there's a progress bar that appears and it must be gone.

Also, was it a real PDF file? The code I shared looks at the mime type, if you want you can switch back to just checking the extension:

issue.get("customfield_11907") == "Yes" || !getTransitionAttachments()?.any{it.filename.endsWith("pdf")}
