How to fetch the logged user timezone in groovy

Vineela Durbha

I am trying to set the datetime field for an issue by picking the value from another issue.

Problem I am facing is that I am able to set the value but with different timezone. Is there any way I can set the time zone to the loggedin user.

I am trying with below code

import com.atlassian.jira.timezone.TimeZoneManager;
import java.util.TimeZone

TimeZone timeZone = timeZoneManager.getLoggedInUserTimeZone();

simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(timeZone);

 

I am getting groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: timeZoneManager for class

 

Can anyone help in resolving this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.timezone.TimeZoneManager

// -if you need the base TZ object

def userTimeZone = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(TimeZoneManager).getLoggedInUserTimeZone()

// -if you need the TZ string to pass to a date

def userTimeZoneValue = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(TimeZoneManager).getLoggedInUserTimeZone()
.getProperties()['lastRule'].getProperties()['ID'].toString()

// -sample usage

def date = new Date().format('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss', TimeZone.getTimeZone(userTimeZoneValue))

// -check the output

return [userTimeZoneValue, date]
