Returns error message...

javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.DefaultIssueWatcherAccessor.getWatchers() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl, java.lang.Class) values: [EPIC-10, class java.util.Locale] Possible solutions: getWatchers(com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue, java.util.Locale), getWatcherKeys(com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue)

Hi Dean,

You should be given an instance of the java.util.Locale class as an argument in the method iwa.getWatchers(issue,...) .

Something like this :

Locale en = new Locale("en");

iwa.getWatchers(issue,en);

It's actually pretty clearly explained in the error message.

Best regards,

Peter
