scriptrunner post function won't trigger

Matt Parks_3102xa

I have a basic understanding of why the function won't trigger, but I'm wondering if anyone can provide a workaround.

 

I have two different workflows: one for Epics and another for Requirements that exist as issues with Epics.

 

In the Requirements workflow, I have added a Linked Transition (JSU) post function on the transition to the Done status that will trigger a specific transition on its Epic when all of its siblings are in the Done status. Basically, whenever all issues within the Epic are Done, move the Epic to a Ready to Test status. I have confirmed that, on its own, this post function executes properly.

 

However, I have added a ScriptRunner workflow function on the transition in the Epic workflow that is being updated by the Linked Transition post function I mentioned above. This function checks a JQL query and requires that all issues within the Epic are in the Done status in order for the transition to be allowed. I have confirmed that this condition works properly on its own.

 

My problem is that, once I add the condition to the Epic workflow, the Linked Transition post function no longer executes. My guess is that there is a timing issue where the Epic isn't fully aware that the last issue in the Epic has transitioned to Done status, so it doesn't allow the transition to execute. Afterwards, I can manually transition the Epic to the Ready to Test status.

 

I have moved the Linked Transition post function all the way to the bottom of the list of post functions (after the issue is stored in the DB and re-indexed), but this doesn't have any effect. Is there a way that I can notify the Epic that all of its children are in Done status while the final child is transitioning to the Done status so the condition is met?

Hello, 

Could you send me screenshots of the two post-functions you've mentioned, as well as screenshots of your post-function order? It's a bit hard to visualize whats going on from just text.

Just as a quick recommendation, you might be able to use a fast-track transition listener instead of what you're currently trying with your Linked Transition. You could fire an event that the listener can catch, then the listener will transition your epic. There may be a better method, or I could've mis-read something and this won't work as I'm thinking, that's just what I thought of while reading.
