Groovy script - Auto comment based on time.

Question

Hi All,

I'm trying to add a comment to issue when an issue transition happens at a specific time (between 8:30 to 10:00) in a day. Below my script,

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
  import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
  import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowContext
  import org.apache.log4j.Category

def date = new Date()
  def formattedDate = date.format('hh:mm')
  log.info (formattedDate)

SNGStart = "8:30"

log.info (SNGStart)

SNGEnd = "10:00"

log.info (SNGEnd)

if (formattedDate > "SNGStart" && formattedDate < "SNGEnd" ) {

String currentUser = "jira-admin"
       commmgr = (CommentManager)                         ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(CommentManager.class)
       commmgr.create(issue, currentUser, "Comment automatically generated!! (test)", true)
       issue.store()
}

There is no error on logs but not getting excepted result. Could you please help me to correct this one?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Additionally make sure, your postfunction is the last postfunction in the list, after the issue is created. You don't need to call issue.store(), a commentManager.create() is enough to create the comment.

It's always a good idea to include logging in your scripts to see what's happening. You could write

log.debug "Current date matches."

or similar to see if your script does what you expect. Make sure you set the log level to debug before that.

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