Rest API Groovy in a loop

Patrice Marrec (Valiantys)

Hello, 

Have a post function which gets a custom field containing email addresses separated by semicolons. Able to parse them and ideally wanted to do a POST to create users. 

Only the first user gets created, then it errors out 

Here is the code: 

//Parse Emails
def users = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10100")
def userlist = issue.getCustomFieldValue(users).toString()
String[] emails = userlist.split(";")
String out = ""

//Iterate Emails and Create Users via REST
for(String email in emails){out += email.split("@)[0]

def http3 = new HTTPBuilder("http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/user")
http3.request(POST, ContentType.JSON){
    requestContentType = ContentType.JSON
    request.addHeader("Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=", "ContentType: application/json")
    body = [
       name: email,
       password:"password",
       emailAddress: email,
       displayName: email.split("@)[0],
       applicationKeys:"jira-core"
     ]

     response.success = { resp, JSON -> return JSON }
     response.failure = { resp, JSON -> return JSON }
   }
}

Here is the error I'm getting:

2018-05-07 14:07:21,000 http-nio-8080-exec-10 ERROR admin 847x502x2 1xxytla 172.17.0.1 /secure/CommentAssignIssue.jspa [c.o.s.jira.workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction] Script function failed on issue: PROYEC-1, actionId: 91, file: <inline script>

Wondering if there's some sort of pause I should do, as logs show the first user gets created, the POST is made but there's something making subsequent calls fail...

Hi Patrice, 

Instead of collecting and iterating through emails why not iterating through the list of the applications users, where each Application user holds the email address and the display name. 

Or even collect in a map the email address (as a key) and the display name (as a value) and the iterate through this map. 

Example code

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def issue = issue as MutableIssue
def users = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10100")
def userlist = issue.getCustomFieldValue(users) as List <ApplicationUser>

def emailAndNameMap = userlist?.collectEntries {
    [(it.emailAddress) : it.displayName]
}

userlist?.each {
log.debug "Email address $it.emailAddress"
    log.debug "Display name $it.displayName"
    //do some rest calls
}

One last thing why you use the REST api to create the users and not the Java API ?
