Workflow validator not executed

[Robert Krause]

I am running Jira 6.3.3 and the latest Version of Script Runner. I am trying to run a custom validation script on a workflow but it seems not be executed as nothing happens and there are no entries in the log file, even if the script contains syntax errors. I have also tried running the example validator from the website, with the same result. Any suggestions what could be the problem or where to look for further information?

@Radu... it could be any member of the massive development team. But when I found out who, they'll be sorry....

"throw new InvalidInputException" works fine for me fron file and inline script. In 3.0.5:

invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException

will also work (from both).

[Robert Krause]

Okay. Turns out, I tested the throws variant only from a file not as an inline script, which works file.

Thank you for your help.

I am still curious what to do about the log message, if I try to run a custom script from a file:

/secure/CommentAssignIssue.jspa [onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.ScriptRunnerImpl] Add a script root for this path: /path/to/my/file/script.groovy

@jamie I use Jira 6.3.4 and Script Runner 3.0.4.

[Radu Dumitriu]

Blame it on the developer, right.

[JamieA]

What version of the plugin are you using? I think I may have broken that backwards compatibility in one of the most recent releases.

[Manuel Kummerländer]

Yes, "throw" works for me. (I have the same problems as Robert)

import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
  
log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.example.testValidator")
log.debug("Condition testValidator script running")
  
throw new InvalidInputException("Validation failure")

[Robert Krause]

Yes it is.

Yes it is. I am using a default workflow in an out of the box Jira with Script Runner.

[JamieA]

Does using:

throw new InvalidInputException("Validation failure")

work?

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

And workflow scheme with proper workflow attached to project

[Radu Dumitriu]

... and you are on the correct issue type, if WF was not published for all issue types ... ?

[Robert Krause]

@RaduYes I am.

[Radu Dumitriu]

Are you sure you published your workflow? Just making sure ....

[Robert Krause]

I am using a Custom Validator and SR version 3.0.4

I am using an absolut path to the script file and tried to run it as inline script as well. Running it from a file I just noticed this message in the log:

/secure/CommentAssignIssue.jspa [onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.ScriptRunnerImpl] Add a script root for this path: /path/to/my/file/script.groovy

Do you have any suggestions how to resolve this?

[JamieA]

Could just add a screenshot. It really depends if you are using "custom validator" or "simple scripted validator". They work differently. "false" is fine for the latter. For the former, try finishing your script with:

throw new InvalidInputException("Validation failure")

what version of SR are you using?

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

Could you provide full information how do you add this condition to a workflow?

[Tsol]

The following script

import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
 
log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.example.testValidator")
log.debug("Condition testValidator script running")
 
invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("Validation failure")

is executed for me. I got the log and transition was not executed.

Are u sure that you have followed the steps in order to have the custom script validator executed?

In order to make it work you have to:

1. Create a file with the above code
2. Add it to a directory of your server
3. Add the file path to your workflow

Hope that helps

[Robert Krause]

@KostasTo narrow it down I reduced the code to a bare minimum. My aim was to see if it runs, by having a validator that always fails. I tried a simple

false

which seemed to have worked for older versions and the example from the documentation

import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
 
log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.example.testValidator")
log.debug("Condition testValidator script running")
 
invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("Validation failure")

Neither the validation fail nor the log message is shown.

@JamieI double checked it with a collegue.

[JamieA]

Make sure the workflow is published, and associated with the project/issue type you are testing with.

[Tsol]

Could you provide your code so we check more in details?
