JIRA Workflow exception

William Gunkel

Seeing lot of expectations wondering if this is normal

Told by support

This looks like an issue with a third party plugin you have installed - Jira Suite Utilities:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.googlecode.jira-suite-utilities

If you follow that link there is an issues and support section for the vendor. Somebody may have raised this already with them so they should be able to help you.

The Jira Suite Utilities has a validator that allows you to make a field mandatory. It works, but unfortunately throws exceptions into the log when a user does something that fails the validation check.

So, it is "normal", but I think we'd all agree it's not desirable behaviour - it should be a simple "fail", not a full java exception. I am pretty sure I've seen an issue logged in the JSU tracker, but I've not got it bookmarked.

I agree throwing full Java exception is extreme over kill. I opened bug with the developer.. THANKS for response

Unfortunately, this is the way JIRA validators work: the must raise an Exception to signify to JIRA that the validation failed (validate is a void function)

Anthony Van Alp1

Is there any logging levels that can resolve this in Jira configuration?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

There's nothing to resolve - you get an exception in the log if validation fails.

If you're getting other exceptions, then more logging isn't going to tell you a lot - you need to investigate the exception.

If you really want to get rid of this ERROR in your logs, you can deactivate logging for atlassian.jira.workflow.OSWorkflowManager entirely (log level=NONE). But the consequence is that you will never see any error raised by this class anymore, which might hide other problems.

William Gunkel

Still seems that the java error that flags the plugin that requrment was not meet should have a diffrenet logging level so you do not spam your log files. We have good number of required fields in our workflwos

This makes very hard to parse the log files for "real" errors

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Absolutely, it's a pain in the neck having to do it like this. A validator shouldn't have to throw exceptions just to say "no, the data is wrong"
