Script to find the logged in user in Jira 6

Question

Hi ,

The following script works fine in Jira 7.

final def authCtxInternal = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
def logIn = { com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser u ->
try {
//Jira 7
authCtxInternal.setLoggedInUser(u)

} catch (Exception ignore) {
// Jira 6
//noinspection GroovyAssignabilityCheck
authCtxInternal.setLoggedInUser(u.getDirectoryUser())
}
}

But in Jira 6 its throwing error:

javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: CreateIssue$__clinit__closure1_closure5.call() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.crowd.embedded.ofbiz.OfBizUser) values: [a-4951:3] Possible solutions: any(), any(), doCall(com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser), each(groovy.lang.Closure), any(groovy.lang.Closure), each(groovy.lang.Closure)

I tried to use the code in Catch part in try for jira 6 but no luck.

Can anybody help me with this.

Thanks

Hi Elfican,

I understand that setLoggedInUser is valid in both Jira 7 & 6 but the variable that you set is what throwing error.

def logIn = { com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser u ->

authCtxInternal.setLoggedInUser(u)

The above line is not working in Jira 6.

Thanks

Hello,

I don't understand what you mean by:

I want to set the logged in user to this: final def authCtxInternal = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().

This is a line that imports and defines the authentication context on your code.

Anyways, setLoggedInUser is a valid method as far as I can see for Jira version 6. You can check on the docs:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/6.4.9/com/atlassian/jira/security/JiraAuthenticationContext.html

You can use it with application user:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/6.4.9/com/atlassian/jira/user/ApplicationUser.html

Hi Elifcan,

I want to set the logged in user to this: final def authCtxInternal = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().

This line: authCtxInternal.setLoggedInUser(u) is not working in Jira 6 whereas works fine in jira 7.

Thanks
