performing HTTP Post from scriptrunner

[Alex van Rijs]

I created a custom field called 'E-mail Address' . After transititioning an issue to a certain state I want to send an HTTP Post request to a certain url if an email is listed in that issue.

Currently I am checking the empty email condition with:

ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Contact E-mail") != ""

Does anybody have an Idea how I can send the value of the email value to an url: www.exampleurl.com with argument email=issueemail

Thanks!

Here's example of working code -

To check if field is null or present you can do that with "if" statement in groovy

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def email = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Email');
// this is the check
if(issue.getCustomFieldValue(email)) {
//code here for REST POST call
} else {
//do nothing
}

Hi Tarun,

I combined the suggestion you posted with a default REST Post groovy example. I am using the following script, but the importing of the classes/dependencies seem to fail.

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentAccessor;
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder;
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.URLENC;

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def email = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Email Adress');

// this is the check
if(issue.getCustomFieldValue(email)) 
{
    def http = new HTTPBuilder( 'http://www.example.com/Scripts/test.php' );
    def postBody = [username: 'bob']; // will be url-encoded
 
    http.post( path: '/', body: postBody, requestContentType: URLENC ) 
    { 
        resp -> println "POST Success: ${resp.statusLine}";
        assert resp.statusLine.statusCode == 201;
    }
} 
else
{
    //do nothing
}

The debug/output/error console lists the following errors after running the code:

Script2.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class com.atlassian.jira.ComponentAccessor
 @ line 1, column 1.
   import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentAccessor;

Script2.groovy: 3: unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.ContentType
 @ line 3, column 1.
   import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.URLENC;
   ^

3 errors

 Do you have any idea what is going on here?
