Scriptrunner - StackOverflowError was thrown during script result serialization to JSON.

Steven Mustari

Using the following code to write a job to post notifications to Slack I am receiving an error I am not familiar with. Is there a better way to go about this? This code will eventually post notifications to a channel based on a filter for each result in the filter on scheduled intervals. The code is not complete but I am recieving the titled error after running it, although my initial test shows a working result. (Single issue)

I have not yet actually tested in the loop.

The error after run is:

StackOverflowError was thrown during script result serialization to JSON. This error is usually caused by attempt to serialize object graph with cycles. Please convert your script result to serializable object tree.

Thank you for any help on this!

Hi Steven

 

This is related to this bug Issue here.

The data returned by your script contains cycles.

See the comment from `Tomasz` on the bug ticket.

 

Script should return result, which doesn't have cycles in object graph, effectively it must be a tree. This is the common requirement to serialize objects to JSON.

 

The error you are reporting is the error we added from ScriptRunner 6.16.0 onwards to warn the user that the return type of the job script must be a serializable object tree

In your case, the return type of the script is likely not important anyway, so you can stop this error by just adding null to the last line of the script so its return type is null and it will not try to serialize the cycling object.

Regards

Matthew
