Validate field description is fill

Question

Hi community!

I need your help:

I have the follow code to insert epic information through API and I need to validate the field "description" is is filled or not

How do I make this?

This is the code:

def endpointUrl = "https://xpto/v1/integration/jira/epic/${issue.key}"
def http = new HTTPBuilder(endpointUrl)
def msg_update_epico = ""
http.request(PUT, ContentType.JSON) {
def requestContentType2 = ContentType.JSON
request.addHeader("Authorization: Bearer ${token}", "ContentType: application/json")
def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

if (issuescription.getText().isEmpty())

{
body = """
{
"status_id": "${status_cvv_id.toString()}",
"name": "${issuesummary}",
"delivery_date": "${devdate_value}",
"username": "${event_username}",
"useremail": "${event_useremail}",
"epic_description": "${issuedescription}",
"Progresso": "${progress.toString()}"

}"""
}

else
{
body = """
{
"status_id": "${status_cvv_id.toString()}",
"name": "${issuesummary}",
"delivery_date": "${devdate_value}",
"username": "${event_username}",
"useremail": "${event_useremail}",
"epic_description": "${issuedescription.replaceAll("()", "")}",
"Progresso": "${progress.toString()}"

}"""
}

log.info("POSTING update epic: ${endpointUrl}")
log.info("${body}")
msg_update_epico = JSON.message
//log.debug("Retorno update épico: ${msg_update_epico}")
log.debug("Retorno update épico: Automação executada com sucesso")
}

I need to bring jira information to another system by API

Here is the complete code:

//def devdate_cvv = "delivery_date"

def cField_progress = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_17708")
def progress = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField_progress)

//def progress = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_17708")

Are you sure this is a question about Jira? Because this

https://xpto/v1/integration/jira/epic/${issue.key}

is not a Jira endpoint.

I'm also terribly confused what I'm looking at

I have the follow code to insert epic information through API and I need to validate the field "description" is is filled or not

What is "epic information"? Where are you trying to insert this information? What source object are you getting the "description" data from?

Isn't this what you're doing in :

if (issuescription.getText().isEmpty())

?

Which by the way, is not Jira API either, because the way you get description is via Issue.getDescription() and this return String, and String does not have any "getText()" method - because you already have the text, that's what String is. That is, assuming "issuescription" is issue description, which by nature, is String.

Not to mention the code is incomplete, you're referring to undefined variables. Where are those coming from?

I have absolutely no idea what this code is supposed to do, and I doubt it is used towards Jira because this endpoint does not look like anything Jira related.

It might be some other server/application passing that information elsewhere, but it 100% is not an out of box endpoint.

Edit: Okay maybe I sound a bit harsh and I sort of assume you want to get something out of Jira and send it to some other server. The main point still stands, this is not the complete code, and I doubt it doesn't throw a nullpointer exception given the above typo.
