return values for python in script runner

James Kelsall

I am trying to create python scripts in script-runner but I am unable to figure out how to return values to the UI or to a log file so I can validate that my script is functioning as intended. Here is a very basic example script which which works for both groovy and python, but returns no information in python.:

Groovy:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def cmgr = ComponentManager.getInstance()
def issue = cmgr.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("PROJ-431")
  
return issue.key

Python:

from com.atlassian.jira import ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

cmgr = ComponentManager.getInstance()
issue = cmgr.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("PROJ-431")

print issue.key

Can someone point me in the right direction to get output from the python interpretor, either through log4j, which I am unable to load in the python interpretor or just as a return value in script-runner UI?

"print" will print to catalina.out.

What have you tried? I don't see why that wouldn't work.

To get the UI to display the return value you just need to "return" it, but that's not very flexible, you're better off with log4j.
