No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultIssueManager.getIssue() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl) values: [CT-31]

[Chris Solgat]

I'm working on a Script Runner Listener and having problems pulling in the issue key.  What am I missing?

The error is coming from the 

def getIssue=issueManager.getIssue(issueNum)

                def updateDate = event.issue.getUpdated()
                def assignDate = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Assigned Date")
                
                def updateValue = updateDate.getValue(getIssue)
                log.debug "updateValue $updateValue"
                if(updateValue) {
                    def timeStamp = updateValue.toTimestamp()
                    getIssue.assignDate = timeStamp   
                    indexManager.reIndex(getIssue)
                    getIssue.store()
                    log.debug "Updated issue $getIssue "                
                }            
            }            
            else
                log.debug "Issue ${event.issue} has already been assigned previously."
            
        }
        else
            log.debug "Not an Issue Assigned Event."
    }
}

Here is the full error minus the stack.  You can see at the end that the issue key is being referenced, but I've obviously missed something.

Possible solutions: getIssue(java.lang.Long), getIssue(java.lang.String), getIssues(java.util.Collection)

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

"No signature of method" means you are passing a variable into a function that does not accept the type of variable you've put in.

In this case, getIssue() is expecting a long (issue's id in the database), a string (the key of the issue), or a collection (I think that's a collection of longs or strings) representing a set of issues.

You're effectively passing in event.issue, which is an issue object, not an ID or Key.

What Nic said. You don't need to get the issue, you already have it.
