Load a Groovy Script File during Startup of Jira Server

Rituraj Nepal

I have a file called helperfunction.groovy which have many functions. This file is used by many postaction scripts. In each of the scripts, I have imported the file and Used it like following :

//Import helper functions
File helperFunctionsFile = new File("/var/application-data/jira/postaction/HelperFunctions.groovy");

Class helperFunctionsgroovyClass = new GroovyClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader()).parseClass(helperFunctionsFile);
GroovyObject helperFunctions = (GroovyObject) helperFunctionsgroovyClass.newInstance();

I would like to use this GroovyObject called helperFunctions in such a way that, it would be loaded during the startup of jira server and I can use it in any postaction scripts without reloading it. I want to use functions inside the file in as many postaction scripts as possible during the transition of issues from one transition to another.

Hi @Rituraj Nepal

Please clarify if you intend to do this for Jira Server / DC or Cloud.

If it's for Jira Server / DC, this is doable, but for Cloud, unfortunately, at present, this is not doable.

For Jira Server / DC, you can store your Groovy code in the /scripts folder, i.e. <JIRA_HOME>/scripts, e.g. /var/lib/atlassian/application-data/jira/scripts. Once the Groovy file is added to this folder, it can be accessed from any Post-Function or Workflow. Instead of using the Inline Editor, you need to use the File tab and specify the Groovy file you intend to use.

Unlike Jira Server / DC, where you can create offline Groovy files in the /scripts folder and reuse the same file in any workflow, for Jira Cloud, for now, you can only add the code via the Inline Editor.
