How to create a project in JIRA using java api and scriptrunner

maxxrdrgz

Hello All, 

For the life of me I cannot find a simple example on how to create a project using JIRA's java api. I am getting my feet wet into the api and groovy so I don't know much. I am very familiar with the REST api however I do not want to use that because it is limited in terms of setting schemes.

import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectCreationData
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ErrorCollection


//def user = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName('admin')
ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName('admin')


ProjectCreationData.Builder builder = new ProjectCreationData.Builder()

builder.withKey('KEY123').withName('KEY123').withLead(user)

ProjectCreationData data = builder.build()

Project validatedProject = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().createProject(user,data);

The error I get is:

java.lang.IllegalStateException
	at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:158)
	at com.atlassian.jira.project.DefaultProjectManager.createProject(DefaultProjectManager.java:177)
	at com.atlassian.jira.project.CachingProjectManager.createProject(CachingProjectManager.java:143)
	at com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager$createProject.call(Unknown Source)
	at test.run(test.groovy:19)

Will using scriptrunner and the java api allow me to set more complicated schemes like issue, screen, workflow etc..?

 

Thanks,

Maxx

EDIT:

This is the correct answer thanks to Daniel, at the time of this post, this answer is compliant with api 7.3.6

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectCreationData.Builder
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectService


def user = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName('admin')
def projectService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectService)


Builder builder = new Builder()

builder.withKey('MAXX23').withName('MAXX23').withLead(user).withDescription('helloworld').withType('business')

def data = builder.build()

def projectResult = projectService.validateCreateProject(user, data)
Project prj = projectService.createProject(projectResult)

return 'finished'

Hi Maxxrdrgz.

To create a project in Jira you firrst need to validate the creation of the project. Then you need to create the project using the validation results of that first step. 

This is how you would create a project with scriptrunner:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectService
def static projectService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectService)

def createProjectValidationResult = projectService.validateCreateProject(currentUser, projectName, key, null, currentUser.name, null, AssigneeTypes.PROJECT_LEAD)
project =  projectService.createProject(createProjectValidationResult)

The variabels passed onto the first function come from another script, so do not take the values literally, you can have a read on the official documentation here.

If I can help you any further, please let me know.

Cheers!
