Using JQL queries in ScriptRunner

Thomas Hardin

June 20, 2018

Good morning, 

I'm trying to run a JQL query with ScriptRunner for Jira, however; my queries have some characters that need to be considered. Basically, the queries are focused on a project and 2 fields. 

Example: 

def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery("project = Portfolio and cf[12947] = CareerLink and cf[12946] = 1.2")

When I run the query on a field that has "( ) " in it, the result is "[]" 

Example:  

def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery("project = Portfolio and cf[12947] = WebSites (Core) and cf[12946] = 1.2")

 

Or, when I have a field that has a "-" in it, I get an error.

Example: def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery("project = Portfolio and cf[12947] = Cognos BI - Infrastructure and cf[12946] = 2.6")

Result: 

jql result.png

Any suggestions? 

 

Thank you all in advance!

In JIRA 8.x use SearchService instead of SearchProvider

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.search.SearchService 

...
def searchService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchService.class)

....
def results = searchService.search(user, query, PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter())

results.getResults().each {issue ->
def issue_res = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.id)
....

Hello,

Your code should be like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.jql.parser.JqlQueryParser;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.search.SearchProvider;
import com.atlassian.jira.web.bean.PagerFilter;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.FieldConfig
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Options
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder


def findIssues(String jqlQuery) {
  def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
  def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.user
  def jqlQueryParser = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(JqlQueryParser.class)
  def searchProvider = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchProvider.class)
  def query = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery(jqlQuery)
  def results = searchProvider.search(query, user, PagerFilter.unlimitedFilter)
  results.issues.collect { 
    issue -> issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.id) 
  } 
}
def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.userCustomField 
cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Product Name+")
CustomField cf1 = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Product Name+ 2.0")
def jqlQuery = "project = Portfolio and cf[12947] = \"Cognos BI - Infrastructure and cf[12946] = 2.6\""
def issues = findIssues(jqlQuery)

Thank you. Next question. If my intent is to populate the query dynamically with values from the custom fields. Let's say I have:

def project = "Cognos BI - Infrastructure"
def version = "2.6"

Using this for test purposes only. What would the query look like?

My apologies @Alexey Matveev, I should have provided a bit more context. What I am doing is using a single project, "Portfolio", where the issue represent other projects and versions. The reason for this is the my management is tracking fund codes. So, What I am doing is setting up some behaviors where given a certain set of values, which are pulled from the 2 custom fields, "Project Name" and "Project Version".

Therefore I need to be able to add the values from those fields into the query. So cf[12947] is "Project" and needs to pull the value from project variable and cf[12946] is "Project Version" and needs to pull the value from version variable.

def jqlQuery = "project = Portfolio and cf[12947] = project variable and cf[12946] = version variable")

I was using def project = "Cognos BI - Infrastructure" and def version = "2.6" so that I could test the script where the values were inserted into the query.

I'm very sorry for any confusion and very much appreciate your assistance.

How can you format query to work with date? ex: created > 2019-07-01. "-" doesn't seem to work
