Set watchers from a group upon creation of an issue via post function script

[Clare Cooper]

Hello,

I use JIRA 5.2.11 and I need to set a group of watchers each time an issue is created. I plan on using workflow and a post function to accomplish this. This is my first groovy script so I'm a newbie. I have cobbled together code and have eliminated some of the errors but now I'm down to:


javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.user.util.DefaultUserManager.getUser() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.crowd.embedded.ofbiz.OfBizUser) values: [mkttest:1] Possible solutions: getUser(java.lang.String), getUsers(), getAllUsers(), getAt(java.lang.String)

which I can't seem to get rid of. Any insights would be helpful. Note that right now, I'm just hard coding the issue number to see if I can get it to work.

Thanks!

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def group = userManager.getGroup("jira-watcher-list")

def watchUsers = groupManager.getUsersInGroup(group).each
{
def user = userManager.getUser(it)
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("TST-2")
watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
}

watchUsers(group)

Thanks to both of you for you inputs.

I was able to get it to work by doing the following:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()

groupManager.getUsersInGroup("jira-watcher-list").each {
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("TST-2")
watcherManager.startWatching(it, issue)
}

Now, I'm not sure if it's the best way to code it - but it works! :-) Thanks again for your help!

that's a happy thing to hear it is working. But I have a doubt that you require this functionality for only issue with key TST-2?

[Clare Cooper]

True - but my proof of concept is working so now I can generize it! Thanks again!

Clare,

You can try this Java statement by converting into groovy script and may be it work.

ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager().startWatching(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByKey(it), issue);

You are almost there... from a quick look at your code I would say use:

def watchUsers = groupManager.getUsersInGroup(group).each
{
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("TST-2")
watcherManager.startWatching(it, issue)
}

Because getUsersInGroup returns a a collection of User.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and now I get:

javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.util.ArrayList.call() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.ImmutableGroup) values: [com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.ImmutableGroup@d1ac903f] Possible solutions: tail(), wait(), any(), max(), last(), wait(long)

Any other thoughts?

[JamieA]

Your closure is wrong. Try this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def group = userManager.getGroup("jira-watcher-list")

groupManager.getUsersInGroup(group).each {
    def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("TST-2")
    watcherManager.startWatching(it, issue)
}
