script groovy with getissue

[linda_zghendy]

hello,

we use a script Groovy (plugin Scriptrunner) in Jira 7 to create a new issue from a workflow to an another workflow

we use "import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFactory" like this:

IssueFactory issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueFactory)

[...]
MutableIssue newIssue = issueFactory.getIssue()

but with Jira 8, the value newIssue returns null.

can you help us please so "issueFactory.getIssue()" works correctly? what shall we modifiy ?

Thanks

Hi @linda_zghendy ,

Going by the documentation https://docs.atlassian.com/DAC/javadoc/jira/reference/com/atlassian/jira/issue/IssueFactory.html that seems like it should to be an easy thing.

• Have you tried wrapping the creation in to a try/catch block to see if it is throwing any exceptions?
• Does the log show any message when the code is executed?
• Have you tried just generating an issue thru the script console (without any other actions around it to rule out interference)?

If you can post some more of your script we might be able to see if something else has changed.

Also as a reference you can always look thru https://library.adaptavist.com for example scripts.

I personally tend to use the IssueManager interface more which allows me to validate the input first before actually running the create.

Hi Dirk, thanks for your answer

here copy from script :

IssueFactory issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(IssueFactory.class)

 [..]

 MutableIssue newIssue = issueFactory.getIssue()

 […]

 DefaultIssueChangeHolder issueChangeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()

def groupManager2 = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()

def group2 = groupManager2.getGroup(groupValue.toString())

CustomField groupeField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10123")

List<Group> groupList = new ArrayList<Group>()

groupList.add(group2)

if (groupeField.getValue(newIssue).equals(null)) {

                log.warn "Creation value groupe Etude"

    groupeField.createValue(newIssue, groupList)

}else{

[…]

}

here copy from log error :
