Creating a custom script listener

Anandhi A

Hi,

I want to update a custom field with date and time when an issue is being moved from one project to another.

I tried a code to just update custom field with date. I put it in Script Console and chose Groovy as engine and Ran it. I was able to update the custom field.

But i want to know how to put this into a custom listener for Issue Moved event?

Thanks Nic.

I created a class like the one below and put my code inside it. Saved it as SetDateField.groovy. Put the .groovy file inside WEB-INF/classes/com/custom. Created a custom listener and gave com.custom.SetDateField in the groovy class field and it is working now.

class SetDateField extends AbstractIssueEventListener 
{
    Category log = Category.getInstance(SetDateField.class) 
    SetDateField() {
    log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG) 
} 

void issueMoved(IssueEvent event) {
    //My code
}

Thanks for your quick response.

Regards,
Anandhi

You can't just cast a string to a date - the lines using "new simpleDateFormat" is completely wrong because myDueDate should be a date and not a string, and the following line is worse because it casts a string to an object rather than a date.

Try losing the cast in the second line, and making mydueDate a date instead of a string.

Thanks Nic. I made the change and compiled the code. I have placed the class file in JIRA_InstallationDir/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/com/custom. But i got the error

Problem loading class: IOException while opening groovy source: com.custom.SetDateField

What do i do to make this work?

Is there a different way to save and compile the file?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

That usually means it can't read the file you've given it. Check location, permissions etc.

Anandhi A

Oh. Can you please tell me how to save the code and compile it. I guess am doing it wrong. I used Eclipse.

Thanks.

Thanks Nic.

void issueMoved(IssueEvent event) {
    //My code
}
