Using Post function script to Transition Sub-Tasks

[pmooresaxton]

Hi All, I am new to groovy so need some advice on the post function scripts.

I would like to use a post script to transition all Sub-taks of the parent.

I found this script to close sub-tasks

https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Post+Functions#PostFunctions-Autocloseallsub-tasks

The question is, apart from the action ID, what else do I need to change to make it specific to my JIRA project?

specifically,

String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context"))

Do I need to change "Context" to something more specific

workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(it);

Do I need to change "it" to the issuetype of the subtask?

Also, Do I need to call a package (e.g. package com.onresolve.jira.groovy.canned.CannedScript) before running the script?

I am using the Post Function "Script Post-Function" -> Script file, using the absoulte file path.

I'm running JIRA v5.2.4 with Script Runner 2.1.12

This is what I have in the file, but at the moment it is not working....

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowContext
import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.atlassian.jira.config.SubTaskManager
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtil;
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.util.JiraUtils;

log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.AutoTransitionChildIssues")

String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller();
WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = ( WorkflowTransitionUtil ) JiraUtils.loadComponent( WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class );

SubTaskManager subTaskManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getSubTaskManager();
Collection subTasks = issue.getSubTaskObjects()
if (subTaskManager.subTasksEnabled && !subTasks.empty) {
subTasks.each {
log.debug ("issue.statusObject.name: " + issue.statusObject.name)
workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(it);
workflowTransitionUtil.setUsername(currentUser);
workflowTransitionUtil.setAction (101) // Transition ID e.g. 5 == RESOLVE ISSUE

// Add a comment so people have a clue why the child has been closed
CommentManager commentManager = (CommentManager) ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(CommentManager.class);
String comment = "*Assign Resolution* set as a result of the *Assign to Me* action being applied to the parent.";
commentManager.create(it, currentUser, comment, true);

// validate and transition issue
workflowTransitionUtil.validate();
workflowTransitionUtil.progress();
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paul
