Why does script end when running createIssueObject()?

Cody McDaniels

I have a Task that has a series of subtasks that I am using as a template to setup recurring tasks through the ScriptRunner Escalation Services.

The script does the following things:

1. Clone the template issue
2. Load the Template issue's subtasks into a Collection
3. Loop through the Collection to create clones of the teamplate subtasks and set the parent object to the new clone of the template

The issue that I am having is everytime this command runs the script stops processing. I end up with a subtask created that has no parent, and non of the other subtasks are created. Why does the script end on the createIssueObject?

Issue clonedTask = issueManager.createIssueObject(subtask.getReporter(), newIssueParams);

Full script below

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFactory;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

def date = new Date();
def sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

def authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext();
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
IssueFactory issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory();

authenticationContext.setLoggedInUser(userManager.getUserByName("SERVICEA_ACCOUNT");

Issue targetParent = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey("SPECIFIC_ISSUE_KEY");
def subtaskList = targetParent.getSubTaskObjects();

for (subtask in subtaskList) {

  def subTaskManager = ComponentAccessor.getSubTaskManager();
  def constantManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager();
  MutableIssue newSubtask = issueFactory.getIssue();

  newSubtask.setSummary(subtask.getSummary());
  newSubtask.setParentObject(issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey("SPECIFIC_ISSUE_KEY"));
  newSubtask.setIssueType(subtask.getIssueTytpe());
  newSubtask.setProjectObject(subtask.getProjectObject());

  def newIssueParams = ["issue" : newSubtask] as Map<String,Object>;
  issue clonedTask = issueManager.createIssueObject(subtask.getReporter(), newIssueParams);

  //^ creates the subtask but it is not linked to a parent because processing stops. The code below does not run. WHY??

  subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey("SPECIFIC_ISSUE_KEY")), clonedTask, subtask.getReporter();

   log.info "subtask ${newSubtask.summary} created.";
}

Hi Cody!

This is most likely related to a code exception, which means that your code is failing, not catching an exception, and hence, the execution is stopped. 

Have you checked the code for an exception?

Cheers!
