Validate email field with scriptrunner

Robin Lundberg

Using Scriptrunner I'm trying to add a custom scripted validator when creating a new issue to check whether or not a customfield contains a valid email address.  

I only want it to validate the email if the Request Type matches X. 

I started with this example script as the base in order to get the Reqest Type name: https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/get-sd-requesttype

This is my script: 

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.servicedesk.api.requesttype.RequestTypeService


import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.PluginModule

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin

import com.atlassian.servicedesk.internal.customfields.origin.VpOrigin

import com.atlassian.servicedesk.internal.feature.customer.request.requesttype.CachedImmutableRequestTypeImpl

@WithPlugin("com.atlassian.servicedesk")

@PluginModule

RequestTypeService requestTypeService



def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager

def requestTypeCustomField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).findByName('Customer Request Type')

def requestTypeKey = (issue.getCustomFieldValue(requestTypeCustomField) as VpOrigin)?.requestTypeKey

def query = requestTypeService.newQueryBuilder().issue(issue.id).build()

def requestTypes = requestTypeService.getRequestTypes(currentUser, query).results

def requestType = requestTypes.find { (it as CachedImmutableRequestTypeImpl).key == requestTypeKey }

def requestTypeName = requestType.getName()

if (requestTypeName == "X") {

// Get the value of the custom field

def vendorContactEmail = issue.getCustomFieldValue(16815)

// Validate the email address

if (isValidEmail(vendorContactEmail)) {

return true // Email is valid

 } else {

return false // Email is invalid

 }

} else {

return true // Request type is not "X", so don't validate the email

}

// Email validation function

boolean isValidEmail(String email) {

String emailRegex = "^[a-zA-Z0-9_+&*-]+(?:\\.[a-zA-Z0-9_+&*-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,7}\$"

return email?.matches(emailRegex)

}

The error I keep getting is:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method getName() on null object

 

I'm not sure why it thinks requestType is a null object. Is it because the ticket hasn't been created yet? 

Thanks for any assistance offered.

Hello @Robin Lundberg 

The NullPointerException error is likely occurring because the requestType object is not being set correctly, which could be due to the fact that the issue is not fully created 'as you mentioned', and the Request Type field might not yet have the necessary data to return a valid object.

the requestTypeCustomField might not yet contain a value. You need to check if the field is null before proceeding.

if (!requestTypeCustomField) { 
   return true // Skip validation if the Request Type field is not found 
}

and also requestTypeKey

// Ensure that requestTypeKey is not null 
if (!requestTypeKey) { 
   return true // Skip validation if requestTypeKey is not available 
}

and

// Ensure that requestType is not null before accessing its name 
if (requestType == null) { 
   return true // Skip validation if requestType is null 
}
