Scriptrunner : groovy, trying to use SwimlaneService and Swimlane

[Olivier Billaud]

Hello dear friends, 

I'm stuck on groovy development about boards (rapid views), and more precisely on swimlanes.

I'm trying to add programmatically a new swimlane in my board.

For this, I found these classes:

- https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/6.7.7/com/atlassian/greenhopper/service/rapid/view/SwimlaneServiceImpl.html

- https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/6.7.6/com/atlassian/greenhopper/model/rapid/Swimlane.SwimlaneBuilder.html

- https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/6.7.7/com/atlassian/greenhopper/service/rapid/view/RapidViewServiceImpl.html

Here is my current code (it doesn't work at all):

import com.atlassian.greenhopper.model.rapid.RapidView
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.model.rapid.Swimlane
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.model.rapid.Swimlane.SwimlaneBuilder
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.rapid.view.RapidViewService
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.rapid.view.SwimlaneService
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.rapid.view.SwimlaneServiceImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContextImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.JiraAgileBean


@JiraAgileBean
RapidViewService rapidViewService

def authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext
def user = authenticationContext.loggedInUser

def view = rapidViewService.getRapidView(user, 11014).get() // ID of board - you can see that in the URL

def swimlaneService = new SwimlaneServiceImpl()
log.debug swimlaneService;
log.debug view

allSwims = swimlaneService.loadSwimlanes(view)

for (swim in allSwims){
    log.debug swim.toString()
}

def newSwimBuilder = new SwimlaneBuilder()
newSwimBuilder.name("New swimlane")
newSwimBuilder.query("'parent link' = KEY-1")
newSwimBuilder.position(2 as Integer)
def newSwim = newSwimBuilder.build()

log.debug newSwim.getId()
log.debug newSwim.getName()
log.debug newSwim.getQuery()
log.debug newSwim.getPosition()

swimlaneService.add(user, view, newSwim)

Honestly, ... 

1. I found how to instantiate "rapidViewService" and it works, but I don't even understand how and why, first time I see this "@JiraAgileBean"... But nevermind. It works. But if you have time to explain to me what is this...

2. With SwimlaneService, I have the following error, after trying to access all swimlanes (loadSwimlanes(RapidView)) and I don't know why:

2022-07-22 16:11:20,224 ERROR [common.UserScriptEndpoint]: Script console script failed: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.rapid.view.SwimlaneServiceImpl.loadSwimlanes(SwimlaneServiceImpl.java:84)

3. I found the "SwimlaneBuilder" and i can populate some fields (name, query...) but I don't know how to save it (and then, how to have a valid id for this new swimlane).

I'm pretty far from my goal. 

Please, help me if you can!

Thank you so much <3 love on you.

To implement this functionality you would need to do some coding and write your own plugin.

An alternate is to create a loop-back transition called "create sub-task" which return the user to the same status and when a user clicks on the transition button then in the workflow post-function a sub-task is created.
