UserCFType constructor has changed

[KONSTANTIN]

Hello!

I have custom field which extends UserCFType :

public class ModifiedByFieldType extends UserCFType {


    public ModifiedByFieldType(
            @JiraImport CustomFieldValuePersister customFieldValuePersister,
            @JiraImport UserConverter userConverter,
            @JiraImport GenericConfigManager genericConfigManager,
            @JiraImport ApplicationProperties applicationProperties,
            @JiraImport JiraAuthenticationContext authenticationContext,
            @JiraImport FieldConfigSchemeManager fieldConfigSchemeManager,
            @JiraImport ProjectManager projectManager,
            @JiraImport SoyTemplateRendererProvider soyTemplateRendererProvider,
            @JiraImport GroupManager groupManager,
            @JiraImport ProjectRoleManager projectRoleManager,
            @JiraImport UserSearchService searchService,
            @JiraImport JiraBaseUrls jiraBaseUrls,
            @JiraImport UserHistoryManager userHistoryManager,
            @JiraImport UserFilterManager userFilterManager,
            @JiraImport I18nHelper i18nHelper,
            @JiraImport UserBeanFactory userBeanFactor,
            @JiraImport FeatureManager featureManager) {


        super(customFieldValuePersister, userConverter, genericConfigManager, applicationProperties, authenticationContext, fieldConfigSchemeManager, projectManager, soyTemplateRendererProvider, groupManager, projectRoleManager, searchService, jiraBaseUrls, userHistoryManager, userFilterManager, i18nHelper, userBeanFactor, featureManager);


    }

 (code sample for JIRA version > 8.11)

atlassian-plugin.xml:

<customfield-type name="Modify By Field"
                  i18n-name-key="modify-by-field.name"
                  key="modifybyfield"
                  class="com.systems.plugins.custom.type.ModifiedByFieldType">
    <description>NJII Integrity Modified By User Name</description>
    <resource name="view" type="velocity" location="templates/plugins/fields/view/view-basictext.vm"/>
    <resource name="edit" type="velocity" location="/templates/service-field-type.template.vm"/>
    <resource name="xml" type="velocity" location="templates/plugins/fields/xml/xml-basictext.vm"/>
</customfield-type>

Constructor of class com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.impl.UserCFType has changed from Jira

version 8.11 (https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/8.11.0/com/atlassian/jira/issue/customfields/impl/UserCFType.html )

to 8.12

(https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/8.12.0/com/atlassian/jira/issue/customfields/impl/UserCFType.html)

now it has additional input parameter - FeatureManager.

So, my custom field not going to work for version < 8.12, because of wrong number of input parameters for constructor.

My plugin needs to support  JIRA version below and above 8.11.

Please help!

Cheers.

Hi @KONSTANTIN I think I saw a presentation where developers used https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/spring-java-config/ to have "multi-version" products. I think it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_lSrVw3TRk

Hi @Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__   

Thank you for reply. 

I'm going to use bridge (suggested in atlassian video guide) to manage component for different versions. 

Thanks for help!

Hi @KONSTANTIN great. I never found a time to test this approach. Is your project private? Or can you share your experience with this publicly? You can always write an article on community and become famous :) for example here... https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/bg-p/atlassian-marketplace-articles
