I can't get the comment created in an issueLinkCreatedEvent

Ignacio Flores_31qrgy

Hi there! with my script I want to replicate the comment entered in the destination issue when I generating a link

The code gives me an error in the following script line:

def lastcomment =event.getComment()

No signature of method: java.lang.String.getComment() is applicable for argument types: () values: []

 

I leave the complete code:

 

import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.link.IssueLinkCreatedEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.Comment
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.nolddor")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

def event = event as IssueLinkCreatedEvent
def issueLink = event.issueLink
def sourceIssue = event.issueLink.sourceObject
def destinationIssue = event.issueLink.destinationObject
def lastcomment =event.getComment()
def comments = ComponentAccessor.commentManager.getComments(sourceIssue)
String lclc = comments.body.last()
log.debug(lclc)
//def commentAuthor = comments.getAuthorApplicationUser()

if (comments) {
//commentManager.create(destinationIssue, loggedInUser, "sdf", true)
def autor= comments.last().getAuthorApplicationUser()
log.warn(autor)
//commentManager.addCommentToObject()
//commentManager.create(destinationIssue, comments.authorApplicationUser, comments.body, true);
commentManager.create(issueLink.getDestinationObject(), autor, lclc, true)
}

log.debug "An IssueLinkCreate event has been catched"
log.debug "Issue (from): ${sourceIssue.key}"
log.debug "Issue (to): ${destinationIssue.key}"

Hi @Ignacio Flores,

You are encountering the error because there is no getComment() method in the bound variable event.

Instead, it would be best if you used the Comment Manager to get the Comment, i.e.:-

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager
.
.
.
def comments = commentManager.getComments(sourceIssue)

 

If you intend to pass the latest comment from the Source Issue to the Destination Issue, you can try this working code:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager
def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def issueLink = event.issueLink

def destinationIssue = issueLink.destinationObject as MutableIssue
def sourceIssue = issueLink.sourceObject as MutableIssue

def comments = commentManager.getComments(sourceIssue)
def latestComment = comments.last()

commentManager.create(destinationIssue, loggedInUser, latestComment.body, true)

Please note, this sample code is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

Below is a print screen of the Listener configuration:-

Below are some print screens of the test:-

1) The destination issue before it is linked to the source issue:-

2) The source issue, with the comments:-

3) The destination issue after it is linked to the source issue with only the latest comment from the source issue:-

 

I hope this helps to solve your question.

 

Thank you and Kind Regards,

Ram
