How to throw a custom issue event from a post function script (Jira 7) ?

[DupontD]

Hello,

I want to throw a custom event from a post function with a groovy / script runner script in a JIRA 7 platform.

For example :

If customfield xxx has value A -> throw custom event A (to notify group A)

if customfield xxx has value B -> throw custom event B (to notify group B)

...

I want to use the IssueEventManager :

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/event/issue/IssueEventManager.html

The old method was simple but is deprecated since 6.4.10 :

dispatchEvent(Long eventTypeId, Issue issue, ApplicationUser remoteUser, boolean sendMail)

Now the only way is to use :

dispatchEvent(IssueEventBundle issueEventBundle)

How can i create a IssueEventBundle object ?

Maybe someone has an example with this new method ?

Thanks

I tried :

• Create custom events (create issue template)
• Add them to the notification scheme

• Use this script (post function create transition in my case) :

import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEventBundle
import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEventManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEventBundleFactory
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent

Long EVENT_ID = new Long("10000")
ApplicationUser currentUser
IssueEventBundle eventBundle

JiraAuthenticationContext jiraAuthContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
IssueEventManager issueEventM = ComponentAccessor.getIssueEventManager()
IssueEventBundleFactory issueEventFactory = (IssueEventBundleFactory) ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueEventBundleFactory.class)

currentUser = jiraAuthContext.getUser()
eventBundle = issueEventFactory.wrapInBundle(new IssueEvent (issue, null, currentUser, EVENT_ID, true))
issueEventM.dispatchEvent(eventBundle)

It seems ok (for the part "throw custom event").

Hi Dupont,

Maybe this older AA may give you a hint How to Throw a Custom Issue Event from a Custom Listener (it makes use of the issueEventBundle)
