"Cannot get property 'accountId' on null object" error message in ScripRunner

Zaldy Parian

Hi,

Hope someone can help me with this error. I created a script to copy the value of AD Manager field to Approvers field through ScriptRunner. However, I keep on getting some errors...

2023-11-27 08:52:23.844 INFO - Serializing object into 'interface java.util.List' 2023-11-27 08:52:23.915 INFO - GET /rest/api/2/field asObject Request Duration: 955ms 2023-11-27 08:52:24.116 ERROR - Cannot get property 'accountId' on null object on line 25 2023-11-27 08:52:24.120 ERROR - Class: com.adaptavist.sr.cloud.events.WebhookExecution, Config: null

My script is this...

def customFields = get("/rest/api/2/field")
        .asObject(List)
        .body
        .findAll { (it as Map).custom } as List<Map>

//to check the listener is only applied to the correct project and issue type
def projectKey = "SIG" 
if (issue == null || ((Map) issue.fields.project).key != projectKey || issue.fields.issuetype.name != 'Service Request with Approvals') {
    logger.info("Wrong Project ${issue.fields.project.key} or not a SR with Approvals")
    return
}

def ADManagerCfId = customFields.find { it.name == 'AD Manager' }?.id
def ApproversCfId = customFields.find { it.name == 'Approvers' }?.id

//get the values from your issues
def ADManager = issue.fields[ADManagerCfId] as Map
def ApproversName = issue.fields[ApproversCfId] as Map

//update the issue with the new approver
put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}")
   .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
   .body([
           fields: [
                   "${ApproversCfId}": [ //You need here to interpolate ApproversCfId as a String
                       ['accountId': ADManager.accountId]
                       ]
           ]
   ])
   .asString()
   logger.info ("Updated Approver with ${ADManager.accountId}")

Appreciate your suggestion/guidance on how I could fix this error.

Cheers,

Hi Zaldy,

Thank you for your question.

I would advise wrapping your logic in an If statement, which checks if the AD Manager field value is not null and only tries to copy the value if the field is not null.

This error can occur when a field value is null, which is why I would suggest adding this check to the script.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi @Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_ ,

The ScriptL istener is working on create. It automatically copy the AD Manager value to the Approvers field. However I found out that when the same issue record was edited, the ScriptRunner errors out. Which in turn sends an email notification to me. The main body of the email is like this...

Processing webhook event from JIRA Cloud failed, please find details below.

You can find more details about this error on Logs page.

CorrelationId: Self=1-65694882-1b20438028a6c08a52a1d8bd;Root=1-65694882-563da02f27c6ea5c57a7fe27

Issue ID: ABC-123

Event type: issue created

Affected scripts:

Description:	SIG: Copy AD Manager to Approvers field
UUID:	d2959473-6a3c-4e3d-a3d5-349311ed02cc
Execution user:	ScriptRunner Add-On User

then followed by the payload.

def customFields = get("/rest/api/2/field")
.asObject(List)
.body
.findAll { (it as Map).custom } as List<Map>

def ADManagerCfId = customFields.find { it.name == 'AD Manager' }?.id
def ApproversCfId = customFields.find { it.name == 'Approvers' }?.id

//get the values from your issues
def ADManager = issue.fields[ADManagerCfId] as Map
def ApproversName = issue.fields[ApproversCfId] as Map
if (ApproversName != null) {
return
}
//to check the listener is only applied to the correct project and issue type
def projectKey = "TEST"
if (issue == null || ((Map) issue.fields.project).key != projectKey || issue.fields.issuetype.name != 'Service Request with Approvals' || ApproversName != null) {
logger.info("Wrong Project ${issue.fields.project.key} or not a SR with Approvals")
return
}

//update the issue with the new approver
put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}")
.header("Content-Type", "application/json")
.body([
fields: [
"${ApproversCfId}": [ // THIS IS LINE 27
['accountId': ADManager.accountId]
]
]
])
.asString()
logger.info ("Updated Approver with ${ADManager.accountId}")

If you noticed, I even added an IF logic that if Approvers != null, do nothing, but it seems it still going through the rest of the script.

Apologies for this as I'm just a beginner in groovy script.

Should I add a script in the If the following condition evaluates to true: section of the Listener? If so, what would be the script if I want to check if the cascading customfield_10220 (name: Issue category) was changed?

So that, if the condition is not true, it will not execute the Code to run: .
