How to build and execute a JQL with parameters with scriptrunner

[Tomas Arguinzones Yahoo]

I need to build and execute a JQL in a script listener to search for certain words in the Description field in JIRA. For instance, once I obtained the values for param1, param2, and param3 (I know how to do the parsing), I need to build a JQL and excute it to search for all Jira issues where the description fields contains all three values, like this:

description ~ param1 AND description ~ param2 AND description ~ param3

Thank you for your assistance

Hello,

Have a look at either of the links below

Hi Alexey...thank you so much for your assistance. This is really helpful. I am still struggling with this line of the code:

def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery("description ~ param1 AND description ~ param2 AND description ~ param3")

How do I specify that I need the JQL to execute with the value in param1/param2/param3 and not the words param1/param2/param3?

Thank you for your help

You could write like this

def param1 = getYourParam1();

def param2 = getYourParam2();

def param3 = getYourParam3();

def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery("description ~ " + param1 + "AND description ~ " + param2 + "AND description ~ param3")

Then you would need to decide where you would store your parameters.

And you have many choices:

You could:

store it in the file system near your script

store in a custom field for each issue

store as an issue property

store as a project property

store it in SAL

store it in a database

and so on

Hi Alexey...thank you for your assistance...I finally had the time to test this out but it is still not working...the issue is with the line with the JQL...I am parsing the summary of the issue being created and I am properly getting param1, param2, and param3 but building the JQL is not working...it gives a syntax error...and also param1, param2, param3 may be JIRA reserved words as well. So for instance, if param1 = account-authn, param2 = access, and param3 = 1.5.0, the following line works fine:

def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery("description ~ 'account-authn' and description ~ 'access' and description ~ '1.5.0'")

but of course I need this to be with the values in param1, param2, param3

Here is the error I got:

It must be

def param1 = "account-authn"

def param2 = "access"

def param3 = "1.5.0"

def myQuery =  "description ~ \"" + param1 + "\" AND description ~ \"" + param2 + "\" AND description ~ \"" + param3 + "\""

log.error(myQuery)

def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery(myQuery)

Kindly check in the logs that myQuery is correct
