How to get user Id programmically?

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

I run in compilator this code, 

com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
        ApplicationUser user = userManager.getUserByName(leadDispayName);
        String userId=user.getId().toString();
        
        params.put("userId", userId);

And it shows this error:

  Unable to run plugin code because of 'java.lang.NoSuchMethodError - com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser.getId()Ljava/lang/Long;

My best guess is that you've compiled your code against one version of JIRA and then installed the add-on in a version where the user management has changed.  Later versions of JIRA don't have a getID, they use getKey() for a start.

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

But if I put getKey() it shown me the name admin on the parameter. Not number.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

But that's the key you need, the numbers aren't there any more.

But how could I get avatar of user ? If I get img i must put avatarid of user: <img alt="admin" src="http://gzawistowskilp2:2990/jira/secure/useravatar?size=small&ownerId=admin&avatarId=10400">;

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ah, that would have helped earlier in the conversation. AvatarService.getAvatar expects you to give it a *user*, not an ID, so I've no idea why you were looking for the user ID. And, from memory, it can return the absolute URL with a different get function.

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

Oh thank You Nic :)

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

But in Avatar I have got still: 9ud fe80:0:0:0:e97c:5225:d756:dce7%16 /projects/TEST [com.atlassian.ozymandias.SafePluginPointAccess] A LinkageError indicates that plugin code was compiled with outdated versions. Unable to run plugin code because of 'java.lang.NoSuchMethodError - com.atlassian.jira.avatar.AvatarService.getAvatarURL(Lcom/atlassian/jira/user/ApplicationUser;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/net/URI;

Ok, that goes back to "you've compiled for one version of JIRA and run it on another". Try compiling it on the same version that you're targeting.

How could I choose of compilance Version of Jira ? maybe atlas-clean command ?

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

How choose a compilance of version ? in POM I set: <jira.version>6.4.11</jira.version> <amps.version>5.1.16</amps.version> <plugin.testrunner.version>1.2.3</plugin.testrunner.version> <atlassian.spring.scanner.version>1.2.6</atlassian.spring.scanner.version> <!-- This key is used to keep the consistency between the key in atlassian-plugin.xml and the key to generate bundle. --> <atlassian.plugin.key>${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}</atlassian.plugin.key> <!-- TestKit version 6.x for JIRA 6.x --> <testkit.version>6.3.11</testkit.version>

Um. https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/32512303/jira-6-extension-after-update-to-version-7-sdk

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

Yes I know this link, but how change compiled for one version of Jira and run in another?

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

I have a problem to understand difference.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It looks like you are compiling it for version X, and installing in Y. That's all I can tell you from the information here, I don't know how you're managing to do that. Although the answer given a couple of days ago is a possibility.

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

But now in footer I have got: Atlassian JIRA Project Management Software (v6.4.11#64026-sha1:78f6ec4) like in my POM file: <properties> <jira.version>6.4.11</jira.version> <amps.version>5.1.16</amps.version> <plugin.testrunner.version>1.2.3</plugin.testrunner.version> <atlassian.spring.scanner.version>1.2.6</atlassian.spring.scanner.version> <!-- This key is used to keep the consistency between the key in atlassian-plugin.xml and the key to generate bundle. --> <atlassian.plugin.key>${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}</atlassian.plugin.key> <!-- TestKit version 6.x for JIRA 6.x --> <testkit.version>6.3.11</testkit.version> </properties>

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

After atlas-clean it helped. Thank You Nic :)

ApplicationUser.getId() appeared only since version 7.0.0 and you are probably compiling against previous JIRA.

Anyway I guess that what you need is userKey: user.getKey() and not id. JIRA DB (at least till 7.0.0) uses userKey varchar(255) as key for the user.

[Zawistowski Grzegorz]

Byt then it write me user name - admin. I want to take user avatar.

[Mario Günter]

Hi Zawistowski Grzegorz, 

please try user.getKey() instead of Id. The ID of a user is equal to his/her key.

For documentation please refer to: 

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/6.4.1/com/atlassian/jira/user/ApplicationUser.html

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Mario
