How to redirect on version creation ?

[Mizan]

Hi All ,

I want to redirect the user to a version tab panel(created through a plugin) after the user creates a version. How can this be done ? In 4.3 there is a AddVersion action which can be extended and for 4.4 there is an Add Version Event .

Please can someone help me with this .

Thanx

I wouldn't modify any of the files in jira.

Instead, add the following using a web resource context, or just put in announcement banner:

AJS.$(function () {
    AJS.$("#project-config-versions-add").submit(function() {
        window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";
    });
});

That's just an example - you should check the return code of the ajax call, and only if valid and the version is created should you redirect. I'm putting this code very much as a starting point only...

Thanx Jamie :) , the script works fine for 4.4 but not for 4.3 . what changes should i make to make this script work in 4.3 ?

and by web resource context you meant web resource plugin module ?

In my url i need the project key and the created version id , will i be able to get that in the script ?

[JamieA]

for 4.3 you need to do it the old way AFAIK.

[Mizan]

For 4.3 i am trying the below code to redirect in the class which extends the AddVersion action

Redirect redirect=(Redirect)ActionFactory.getAction(Action.SUCCESS);
		redirect.setUrl("http://www.google.com");
		return redirect.execute();

but i get an exception

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Action 'success' not found or could not be initialized a class with that name could not be found.

Is the correct way to redirect ?

i also tried by adding a new <view> in the plugin.xml and return to that view but i get an exception

java.lang.illegalstateexception cannot forward after response has been committed

Hi Jamie,

with the old way i am not able to redirect to the version tab .

i used the following

return getRedirect("../../browse/"+pKey+"/fixforversion/"+vId+"");

Is this correct ? am i missing something ?

[Mizan]

Hi Jobin, When i use the above return statement i get a java.lang.IllegalStateException

and the URL is :http://localhost:2990/jira/secure/project/AddVersion.jspa?atl_token=BV8N-OK2J-IQUQ-YNNK|90ac7060aaed2a887488c89579c0438382ac78e8|lin&pid=10000

[Mizan]

I am sorry , i did not get , which token at the end ?

[Mizan]

For testing i had used this as a URL

return getRedirect("/browse/RM/fixforversion/10221");

a valid pkey and version id .

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

cool. But it is still missing the token. Just a wild guess.

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Maybe it is because of the missing token in the end? Can you try adding that too in the URL and see if it helps?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

?atl_token=BV8N-OK2J-IQUQ-YNNK|90ac7060aaed2a887488c89579c0438382ac78e8|lin

[Mizan]

I tried with the token but its still not redirecting and giving the same exception(java.lang.IllegalStateException) when i add a version .

My tab is in the first position so its displayed by default when i redirect to browse/RM/fixforversion/10221

[Mizan]

Hi Jamie ,

How can i check the return code of the ajax call in the script provided by you.

AJS.$(function () {
    AJS.$("#project-config-versions-add").submit(function() {
        window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";
    });
});

Also the URL contains the version id which is created , can this be possible ?

Thank you

Hi Mizan,

I have implemented AddVersion 4.3 in do execute method i have put this

{

String url="http://localhost:2990/jira/browse/MP/fixforversion/10001";

return getRedirect(url);

}

i am able to redirect properly.

problem:- i am not able to add new version from Manage Versions even it is not showing in versions list. but i am able to get in my code via super.getName();

[Mizan]

You are able to redirect and the version is not getting added because you have not called the super.doExecute()

super.getName() returns the name you have entered not the version name

I dont know why its not redirecting

@Override
	protected String doExecute() throws Exception {
		Long vid = null;
		String ret_val  = super.doExecute();
		if (!ret_val.equals(Action.ERROR)){
			
			String verName=getName();
			System.out.println("Version name from add version:"+verName);
			String in=getProjectObject().getKey();
			
			System.out.println("pid:"+in);
			Collection<Version> version1=getVersionManager().getVersionsByName(verName);
			Iterator i=version1.iterator();
			if(i.hasNext())
			{
				Version v=(Version) i.next();
				vid=v.getId();
				
			}
			
			
		return getRedirect("/browse/"+in+"/fixforversion/"+vid+"");
			
		}
		else{
			System.out.println("this is a error"+ret_val);
			return ret_val;
			
		}
		}

Above is my code

[tousifs]

i have done with Redirection

i just have @overiden all methods AddVersion in my class.

addition to that i have called super(authenticationContext,versionService); constructor.

the basic change in code is doexucute method is : return getRedirect("/browse/MP/fixforversion/10002");

prior to this it was : returning as return getRedirect("ManageVersions.jspa?pid=" + getProjectObject().getId());

now its working fine.

[Mizan]

Thanks Tousif , From Jira source i noticed that doExecute() returns getRedirect("ManageVersions.jspa?pid=" + getProjectObject().getId());

I did as you said and replaced

getRedirect("ManageVersions.jspa?pid=" + getProjectObject().getId());

with

return getRedirect("/browse/"+pkey+"/fixforversion/"+vid);

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Try

return getRedirect("/browse/"+pKey+"/fixforversion/"+vId);

[Mizan]

Thanx , so it is possible to redirect after listening the VersionCreateEvent ? for 4.3 i am trying to redirect using the getRedirect("url");

eg:

return getRedirect("../../browse/"+pKey+"/fixforversion/"+vId+"");

but this does not help i get a java.lang.IllegalStateException

[Mizan]

Which js files i will have to modify ?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Listeners run in a different thread. So redirecting in a listener is not possible. You should modify the Javascript files as Jamie mentioned!

[JamieA]

It's done through a rest call in 4.4, so I think you would need to write some javascript to plug in to that. It won't be as simple as the old way.
