Need to require a link in workflow transition (groovy-script-runner)

[Mike Henry]

I have not made any changes to Jira.

We have setup workflow for our Change Control project which should force the issue to link an issue - but I can't figure out how to do it. We need to force the user to select a RELATED link.

I have setup a validator to use Script Runner without success:

ScriptRunner workflow function - Simple scripted validator (condition apply).
issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Relates')

I have also tried many other iterations of the word "RELATES:

• issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Relate')
• issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Relat')
• issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Rel')

Once I publish the workflow and test, I link an issue as RELATED to another issue but it never passesCapture.PNGes.

Use the simple scripted validator with the condition below to get the inward and outward links, it should be in that:

issueLinkManager.getIssueLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Relates')

or to only get the inward ones (which is likely your case with "Relates") use:

issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Relates')

Hope this helps,
Adam

This worked:

issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Relates')

Thanks!

Recived this error:

Did you try saving and testing it? SR static checker might be weird sometimes.

What version of JIRA are you using?

[Mike Henry]

I did not - will do now...I figured there was an error so I didn't move forward...

Our JIRA is locally hosted v7.2

[Mike Henry]

same thing - does not pass

[Alexey Belostotskiy]

Something like this should do the job:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.link.IssueLinkService
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.IssueLinksSystemField

MutableIssue issue = issue
def value = (IssueLinksSystemField.IssueLinkingValue) issue.getModifiedFields().get("issuelinks").newValue

if (value) {
    IssueLinkService.AddIssueLinkValidationResult validationResult = value.validationResult
    return validationResult.linkType.name == "Relates" && validationResult.linkKeys
} else {
    return false
}

[Mike Henry]

Same thing - does not pass

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Try this code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

for(IssueLink link: ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getIssueLinks(issue.getId())){
    if(link.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("RELATED"))
        return true
}
return false;

[Mike Henry]

It still doesn't pass after I added the new script you posted.

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Could you provide exact name of this issue link type?

[Mike Henry]

I haven't made any changes to this - so it's all stock:

[Mike Henry]

I also tried changing this line to the exact case as the link name:

if(link.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Relates"))

Still won't pass.

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Sorry, it is my mistake, try this code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager

IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager();

for(IssueLink link: issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())){
    if(link.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Relates"))
        return true
}

for(IssueLink link: issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId())){
    if(link.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Relates"))
        return true
}
return false;

[Mike Henry]

Should this be doubled up like this?:

for(IssueLink link: issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId())){

    if(link.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Relates"))

        return true

}

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Hm, you are right. In this case it is not requred to double

[Mike Henry]

Same thing - will not pass

[Vasiliy Zverev]

This code works for me:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager
for(IssueLink link: ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())){
    if(link.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Relates"))
        return true
}
return false;

This will work for simple script condition.

For custom script condition it will be slightly more different.

[Mike Henry]

I don't understand what I am doing wrong - I agree that your code should work - but after I add a related link I still get this:

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Do you use this code for simple script condition?

[Mike Henry]

Here are my steps:

What the heck!?!?

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Could you check this validator on some issue with preview?

[Mike Henry]

hmmm not sure how to do that - can you point me in the right direction?

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Try this script into Script Console. Replace issueKey with key of tested issue:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("issueKey")

for(IssueLink link: ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())){
    if(link.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Relates"))
        return true
}
return false;

[Mike Henry]

I changed issueKey to an issue that I know does not have a related link, run the preview and this is what I get:

Not much of any feedback from the script.

[Vasiliy Zverev]

You need to run this script here: admin panel/plugins/scriptrunner/script console.

And as the result you will get true or false.
