Jelly Script to delete an Issue

[Deleted user]

I would like to know the Jelly Tag to delete an issue from a project. I looked at the following link, http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Jelly+Tags and cannot find the correct Jelly Tag.

Jira does not provide a Jelly tag to delete issues. You have to code that the hard way like the example here to delete issue MYPROJECT-6330. Of course some things are still missing here, e.g. checking the validation result and the error collection that is returned by issueService.delete.

<JiraJelly xmlns:jira="jelly:com.atlassian.jira.jelly.enterprise.JiraTagLib" xmlns:core="jelly:core" xmlns:log="jelly:log">


  <!-- Grab managers. Do it using ComponentAccessor now which gives better compatibility in Jira 5! r -->
  <core:invokeStatic className="com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor" method="getIssueManager" var="issueManager"/>
  <core:invokeStatic className="com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor" method="getIssueService" var="issueService"/>

  <!-- Get users authentication context -->
  <core:invokeStatic className="com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor" method="getJiraAuthenticationContext" var="authenticationContext"/>
  <core:invoke on="${authenticationContext}" method="getLoggedInUser" var="user"/>

  <!-- Get the Issue from IssueManager -->
  <core:invoke on="${issueManager}" method="getIssueObject" var="issue">
    <core:arg type="java.lang.String" value="MYPROJECT-6330"/>
  </core:invoke>
  <log:warn>Issue of  ${issue.class} found</log:warn>
  <log:warn>User of ${user.class} found</log:warn>

  <core:invoke on="${issue}" method="getId" var="issueId"/>
  <core:invoke on="${issueService}" method="validateDelete" var="deleteValidationResult">
    <core:arg   value="${user}"/>
    <core:arg  value="${issueId}"/>
  </core:invoke>

  <core:invoke on="${issueService}" method="delete" var="errors">
    <core:arg  value="${user}"/>
    <core:arg  value="${deleteValidationResult}"/>
  </core:invoke>
  <log:warn>deleted</log:warn>


</JiraJelly>

Is there a way to automate this script and execute it against a filter results that include the list of issues to be deleted?

Thanks,

Yaron

The scripts at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Jelly+Escalation show how you can execute a sewuence of jelly tags against all issues matching a filter. You can also automate jelly scripts using the jelly service

[Dieter]

See more at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Services how to install the Jelly serice. You can get the name of the service implementation class from the source that is linked on this page

[Dieter]

If the jelly script does not run in the jelly service and only if it is executed manually in the jelly runner, please make sure you login first as a user that has the right to delete issues. You can login using the jira:login tag as in https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/37551/jira-jelly-service-complains-that-the-workflow-transition-is-not-valid-for-the-current-workflow-state-manual-start-works-fine
