Creating customer request using JAVA API's doesn't work

[Mohamad Alhajj]

I'm using this code to create customer request using JAVA API's

serviceDeskCustomerRequestService.
createCustomerRequest(applicationUser, serviceDeskCustomerRequestService.newCreateBuilder().raiseOnBehalfOf("username")        .serviceDesk(serviceDesk).requestType(requestType).fieldValue(FieldId.withId("summary"),     FieldInputValue.withValue("summary value")).fieldValue(FieldId.withId("description"),             FieldInputValue.withValue("description value")).customerRequestChannelSource("Customer Channel Value").build());

If I used it as it is, it works, but when using it inside a schedular (thread) it stopped working for the below issue

com.atlassian.servicedesk.api.BadRequestException: The issue type selected is invalid.  com.atlassian.servicedesk.api.BadRequestException: The issue type selected is invalid.    at com.atlassian.servicedesk.internal.api.util.EitherExceptionUtils.httpStatusCodeToException(EitherExceptionUtils.java:95)    at com.atlassian.servicedesk.internal.api.util.EitherExceptionUtils.lambda$anErrorEitherToException$0(EitherExceptionUtils.java:36)    at io.atlassian.fugue.Either$Left.fold(Either.java:586)    at com.atlassian.servicedesk.internal.api.util.EitherExceptionUtils.anErrorEitherToException(EitherExceptionUtils.java:32)    at com.atlassian.servicedesk.internal.feature.customer.request.ServiceDeskCustomerRequestServiceImpl.createCustomerRequest(ServiceDeskCustomerRequestServiceImpl.java:45)

Anyone is facing this issue?

Hi Mohamad,

Thanks so much for your question.

Could you kindly provide some details around your environment and job?

1. What version of Jira are you running?
2. Are you able to post the sample source code that causes the issue?

Thank you,

Sam.

        } catch (Exception e) {
            ISLogger.getLogger().writeExceptionLog(e);
        }
    }
}

 The issue is due to

ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

 it returns null inside the thread
