Script error: cannot cast object 'user' with class with class 'com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser' to class 'com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User'

[Cristina_Abunei]

After migrating to JIRA 7, from JIRA 6.4.3, the send email script listener does not work anymore.

The error in the logs is: 

Script error: cannot cast object 'user' with class with class 'com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser' to class 'com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User'

Please let me know if you need any other details.

Thank you.

Hi Cristina,

I can't see where you get a user from in the script you provided. Are you sure the error is coming from this post-function and not another one on the same transition?

For JIRA 7 your script should look like:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == 'Process Area' }
def passesCondition = false

if (cf != null) {
    def fieldConfig = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
    if (fieldConfig.toString().contains('System Architecture')) {
        passesCondition = true
    }
    else {
        passesCondition = false
    }
}

Thanks,
Adam

Hello,

There is indeed no user type object in the script, the problem is that I set an email address. This is a listener that sends emails, and the error is related, I think, to how script Runner calls the method that sends emails. I have a few email addresses configured in the 'to' section' of the listener and the error, I think, is related to that.

Thank you.

Could you include a screenshot of how you have your listener configured? Are you also able to send the message you get in the logs when the listener runs? There may be more to the message which will give us some clues.

Hello @Adam Markham, I added the screenshots of the configuration, and the error message:

Hi Cristina,

Thanks for that. I don't see anything wrong with the configuration. I guess process area and system architecture custom fields are not user picker ones?

Hello Adam,

"Process Area" is a custom field, a list select. "System Architecture" is a value inside the "Process Area" custom field.

Basically, what we are trying to do is:

When somebody creates a ticket and selects the value "System Architecture" for the "Process Area" custom field, then an email should be sent to the leaders of that area. 

In JIRA 6.4.3 it used to work. Now we get the error that I added above. 

I hope this is clearer now, please let me know.

Hello, 

Please let me know if you have any updates on this , or if you need additional info.

Thank you.

Hi Cristina,

Are you really sure that the send custom email cause this error ? Do you have any custom post functions or custom listeners ?

[Cristina_Abunei]

Hello @Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist],

Yes, going to Script Listeners, we selected: 'Send a custom email', then we added the condition and the template. When trying to create an issue for which we expect an email, we do not get the email, and in the logs we find the error mentioned above.

I attached 3 more screenshots to see that this is the case. email3.pngemail2.pngemail1.png
Thank you.

Cristina, 

Sorry for asking the same question twice, but could you please check at Built in Scripts -> Script Registry for other Script Runner Listeners or Post Functions or Validators or Conditions that are not properly updated in order to match the JIRA v7 API. 

I am asking that because if there was a bug in the Send Custom Email Listener something similar to the stack trace below would appear to your logs

@Cristina Abunei can you please reedit your post using the "code" option in the editor otherwise becomes hard to read? Thanks

[Cristina_Abunei]

Hello, I edited the code.

Thank you.

[Rafael Franco]

Hi Cristina,

Can you provide us with your current script so we can take a look?

Regards,

Rafael
