LastComment Scripted Field no longer works in Jira 8 (ScriptRunner 5.5.7.1)

Christopher Gronde

We have a commonly used script runner field called Last Comment that no longer works after our most recent update to Jira. 

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.Comment
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def comment = commentManager.getLastComment (issue)
def date = comment.getCreated()

return ((date as String) + " " + comment.body + "<br> Author: " + comment.authorFullName)<span>import</span> <span>com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager<br></span>

 We have already discovered that the first import no longer works and must be replaced with

<span>import</span> <span>com.atlassian.jira.component.pico.ComponentManager</span>

But that breaks other parts of the code.  Can anyone help with the new code or where to find what needs changed?

While I don't have Jira 8 yet ... the ComponentManager has been deprecated for a long time.

And you don't seem to be using it anywhere in your script. Probably just some leftover.

I suspect the following simplified script will work just fine with identical results:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def comment = ComponentAccessor.commentManager.getLastComment(issue)
"$comment.created $comment.body <br> Author: $comment.authorFullName"
