Coding first Listener Not firing.

CJ_Marchand

 

 

Hi everyone.

I built a Behavior that is working but am not having luck with Listener.

The listener does not seem to be firing.

I need it to fire on a field changed event. 

I added the "Issue create" Event to see if I could get anything but am not having any luck.   

 

This is my code for now.

I have stripped it code down for testing.  Just want to see the event fire.

 

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue                       ;

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours       ;

import groovy.transform.BaseScript                          ;

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants         ;

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours                 ;

try {

     getFieldById('customfield_18801').setFormValue( "Hello txtField" ) ;    

    getFieldById('description').setFormValue( "Hello from Listener" ) ;

} catch(Exception e1) {

    getFieldById('customfield_18801').setFormValue( e1.getMessage() ) ;

}

pic of my Listener setup is included.

 

PD Sheehan

Script listeneres and behaviours are complete different beast and very listtle code can be shared between the two.

Namely, behaviour comes with several built-in methods that won't exist in the script listener. You can find a partial list here.

For script listeners, you will be dealing more directly with Jira API (like you might with workflows scripts). There are several examples here.

 

Here is your example converted to use the correct methods:

 

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

//event.issue is built in all event that fire for issue. This won't work on a CustomFieldUpdated event which fires when a custom field configuration is changed
MutableIssue issue = event.issue as MutableIssue 

def cfm = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def is = ComponentAccessor.issueService
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def txtCustomField = cfm.getCustomFieldObject('customField_18801')

def iip = is.newIssueInputParameters()

iip.description = "Hello from Listener"
iip.addCustomFieldValue txtCustomField.idAsLong, 'Hello txtField'

try {
def validationResult = is.validateUpdate(currentUser, issue.id, iip)
if(!validationResult.valid){
        log.error "There the issue update validation was invalid: $validationResult.errorCollection"
        return
    }
def updateResult = is.update(currentUser,validationResult)
if(!updateResult.valid){
        log.error "There the issue update resul was invalid: $validationResult.errorCollection"
    }
} catch (e){
    log.error "There was an unknown error when performing the issue update: $e"
}
