Groovy Post Function: Assign issue to the currently logged-in user if a condition is met

[Nishant Kansal]

Hello,

I am trying to develop a post function that shall assign the issue to the currently logged-in user, if a condition is met.

I am able to fetch the current logged-in user using below:

// Get the current logged in user
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser().getName()

Now, I have to assign the issue to this user. For that, I am trying

issue.setAssigneeId(user)

However, it is resulting "null" and issue remains unassigned.

Can anyone please let me know, what I am missing and how I can achieve it?

Thanks.

Nishant

Your code should be like this

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

issue.setAssigneeId(user)

I tried it..It is giving below error:

No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl.setAssigneeId() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.user.BridgedDirectoryUser) values: [Nishant.Kansal@abc.com:10001] Possible solutions: setAssigneeId(java.lang.String), getAssigneeId(), setAssignee(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User), getAssignee()

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

issue.setAssignee(user)

What is your Jira version?

Did the lines in my previous comment work? In Jira version 6 there were problems with ApplicationUser and User classes. Some methods worked with ApplicationUser and some with User and those classes always had to be converted to each other. Kindly try the lines in my previous comment.

No, it didn't work.

I checked few other scripts available in this forum and a validation need to be in place. Can you please guide me on the same?

What is the error?

[Nishant Kansal]

After going through couple of articles, I worked out below script. It seems, I am so near and yet not able to get it through.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.LazyLoadedOption
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
//import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.UpdateIssueRequest
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def LOG = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")

LOG.error("Updating Issue.");

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser().getName()

MutableIssue updatedIssue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(currentIssue.getKey())

updatedIssue.setAssigneeId(user)

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
issueManager.updateIssue(user, updatedIssue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, true)

It is giving me below error: 

No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultIssueManager.updateIssue() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption$EventDispatchOptionImpl, java.lang.Boolean). 

Possible solutions: updateIssue(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User, com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption, boolean), updateIssue(com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser, com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.issue.UpdateIssueRequest)

Tried the possible solutions, however, no success.

Please help.

It is because your user variable is a String and you need to pass com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser. That is why I rewrote it like this

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

issue.setAssignee(user)

If you do not want to change your code much than it could be like this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.LazyLoadedOption
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
//import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.UpdateIssueRequest
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def LOG = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")

LOG.error("Updating Issue.");

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
MutableIssue updatedIssue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(currentIssue.getKey())

updatedIssue.setAssigneeId(user.getName())

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
issueManager.updateIssue(user, updatedIssue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, true)

Thank you, Alexey for pointing out the mistake in my latest code. It is working fine now. However, if I am using below method, it is giving this warning. This method is not advocated since 6.0 Jira version. Please advise.

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

[Alexey Matveev]

Ah, ok. Try to use the getUser(). It is fine

[Nishant Kansal]

When I am running the below code (with getUser())

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.LazyLoadedOption
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
//import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.UpdateIssueRequest
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def LOG = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")

LOG.error("Updating Issue.");

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
MutableIssue updatedIssue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("TIK-16894")

updatedIssue.setAssigneeId(user.getName())

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
issueManager.updateIssue(user, updatedIssue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, true)

It is giving below error:

No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultIssueManager.updateIssue() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser, com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption$EventDispatchOptionImpl, java.lang.Boolean)

Possible solutions: updateIssue(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User, com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption, boolean), updateIssue(com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser, com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.issue.UpdateIssueRequest) 

When I am trying the possible solutions, same error is coming in one way or other.

Please help. 

[Alexey Matveev]

I think you should use getLoggedInUser. Do not pay attention to the warning

[Nishant Kansal]

It seems that is the only option for the time being. The latest implementation is not returning the value per my requirement. Thank you so much for all your help, Alexey.
