Post function Script to add a watcher for specific issue

[Pritesh Jagani]

Hi ,

I am getting following error

Time (on server): Mon Oct 16 2017 17:37:53 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)

The following log information was produced by this execution. Use statements like:log.info("...") to record logging information.

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: event for class: Script54

Here's my script

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def issue = event.getIssue()

def user = userManager.getUserByName("Brian66481")

if (issue.getIssueType().getName() == "RE Task") watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)


Please help

Hello Pritesh,

the problem seems to be at the line "def issue = event.getIssue()". The event variable is not available for your script. 

I think if you will delete the whole line, the issue will disappear (as the issue variable is automatically available in post function scripts).

Please let me now if it helped.
Regards,
Martin

Hey Martin!!!!!!!!
Thanks soooooo much!!!!!!! Been struggling from past 2 days!

It worked! 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()


def user = userManager.getUserByName("Brian66481")

if (issue.getIssueType().name == "RE Task") 
watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)

One more help  - I want to add user as a watcher based on task type and specific components.

Could you help me with that please?
