How I get ApplicationUser by name or key?

[Pavol_Lackovič]

Hi.

I want to get ApplicationUser in Jira 6.1 by name or by key but I get DelegatingApplicationUser or BridgedDirectoryUser. How I get ApplicationUser?

I try this:

ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByKey("key").getClass()
ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByName("name").getClass()
ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByKey("key").getDirectoryUser().getClass()
ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByName("name").getDirectoryUser().getClass(
ApplicationUsers.from(ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByKey("key").getDirectoryUser()).getClass()
ApplicationUsers.from(ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByName("name").getDirectoryUser()).getClass()

and i get:

com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser
com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser
com.atlassian.jira.user.BridgedDirectoryUser
com.atlassian.jira.user.BridgedDirectoryUser
com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser
com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser

How I get ApplicationUser?

Thanks

ApplicationUser is an interface and DelegatingApplicationUser is an implementation, which is what you want to use.

thanks:)

and how can I get user, which I use in method updateIssue (javascript:mctmp(0);) ?

That would be the BridgedDirectoryUser which implements the old crowd User. You can get it from the Application user using getDirectoryUser().

[Pavol_Lackovič]

When I use BridgedDirectoryUser I get

javax.script.ScriptException: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.atlassian.jira.user.BridgedDirectoryUser cannot be cast to com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

my code:

def us = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByName("name").getDirectoryUser();

issueManager.updateIssue(us, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);

[Florin Manaila]

That's because updateIssue() expects an ApplicationUser instead of a crowd User. Check the javadocs for the appropriate JIRA version you are developing your plugin for.

Just use one of the examples in your question that return a DelegatingApplicationUser.

We have effectively the same problem. We are trying to call "issueService.validateUpdate(...)", but get an exception "No signature of method... is applicable for argument types" compaining about "com.atlassian.jira.user.BridgedDirectoryUser" type (for which we cannot find any online documentation.

Code:

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUsers
...
User loggedInUser = ApplicationUsers.toDirectoryUser(componentManager.jiraAuthenticationContext.user) as User
def updateValidationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(loggedInUser, uiip)

Logs:

java.lang.RuntimeException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.DefaultIssueService.validateUpdate() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.user.BridgedDirectoryUser, com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl)...
Possible solutions: ... validateCreate(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User, com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters)

For the record, my particular issue got resolved.

Basically, we did not notice that the "Possible solutions" was actually recommending a different method entirely, namely "validateCreate". "validateUpdate" now always takes the ID of the issue you are updating, which we were not passing as an arg in our call.

why doesnt updateIssue method accept DelegatingApplicationUser as input parameter?

[Pavol_Lackovič]

I use DelegatingApplicationUser and I get:

The script failed : javax.script.ScriptException: javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultIssueManager.updateIssue() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser, com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption$EventDispatchOptionImpl, java.lang.Boolean)

Possible solutions: updateIssue(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User, com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption, boolean)
