Hi there

I have just upgraded to Jira 8.5 and am facing the same problem in one of my scriptrunner scripts.
In my case, I get the exception from the last line of this scriptrunner code fragment, which is supposed to fire an issue_updated event.

execute from script console:

import org.apache.log4j.Level
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEventBundle
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEventManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEventBundleFactory
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def issueKey = "TEC-123"
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(issueKey)

log.debug('my issue is: ' +issue.key)

// manually fire an update event
IssueEventManager issueEventM = ComponentAccessor.getIssueEventManager()
IssueEventBundleFactory issueEventFactory = (IssueEventBundleFactory) ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueEventBundleFactory.class)
IssueEventBundle eventBundle = issueEventFactory.wrapInBundle(new IssueEvent (issue, null, user, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED.eventTypeId, false))
issueEventM.dispatchEvent(eventBundle)

There isn't any line like "caused by"?

no.
Perhaps this is due to authentication. Since the warning contains anonymous

When this happened?

I could not reproduce the problem yet. Just see it in the log
