Groovy script to remove watcher

[Patrick]

Hello,

I'm trying to remove a watcher from an issue when it's created. I use a custom listener with the 'Script Runner' plugin (I'm using JIRA v5.2.9 and Scipt Runner v2.1.15).

Here is my script listener :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
 
class AutoRemoveWatcherListener {

	void workflowEvent(IssueEvent event) {
		def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
		def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
 
		def user = userManager.getUser('myUser')
		watcherManager.stopWatching(user, issue)
    }
}

Problem : it doesn't work !

You haven't defined "issue", you want somewhere:

def issue = event.issue

It still doesn't work. I tried to use that script as a postfunction and as a custom listener. I even tried to extend the class AbstractIssueEventListener but no results.

My script is directly placed at the atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/ folder.

Decide on whether you want a postfunction or a listener, the scripts will be different.

Start with a postfunction because it's easiest.

If that doesn't work post your code and the errors from the log.

[Patrick]

Yes the code in the postfunction is different from the listener, here it is :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
 
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
 
def user = userManager.getUser('myUser')
watcherManager.stopWatching(user, issue)

Here is the code with the log, but it appears that I have nothing in the logs file (catalina.out and atlassian-jira.log)

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import org.apache.log4j.Category
 
def Category log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.PostFunction")
log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)

log.debug "--------------- REMOVE_WATCHER_SCRIPT --------------"
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
 
def user = userManager.getUser('myUser')
watcherManager.stopWatching(user, issue)

1. You've choosen the wrong place to store listeners: please try to store under scripts folder under jira data folder g:\jiradata\6.3\scripts\com\polontech\listener\ExampleListener.groovy - see example

2. You should define the issue like

def issue = issueEvent.getIssue();

[Patrick]

I'm using jira 5.2.9 and I can't find any folder that looks like your.

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

do you see script listeners under script runner menu?

[Patrick]

Yes I see it, then I choose 'Custom Listener' and when I provide the name of my script class, there are no errors so I suppose this is not a folder problem.

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

Ok then, but you still need to get issue from the issue event to make this script workable

[Patrick]

Even when I use event.getIssue(), it doesn't work.

[JamieA]

What's in the log? Maybe a class-cast problem, with ApplicationUser and User.

[Patrick]

Nothing appears in the log files, don't know what's the problem.
