Problem creating subtask within a script

[Andreas Sumper]

Hi all!

I also posted this on stackoverflow, but did not get any answer. Hopefully someone here can help me with my problem. I had this script running, but tried to remove deprecated functions. I removed almost all of them, but I am stuck on this code.

I am working on some groovy-scripts in jira. The script get´s triggered as a postfunction using the scriptrunner plugin. The code, that produces the error is this one:

ComponentAccessor CompAcc = new ComponentAccessor() 
SubTaskManager subTaskManager = CompAcc.getSubTaskManager() 
... 
def subTask = issueManager.createIssue(CompAcc.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(), issueObject) 
subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue, subTask, usera)

where issue is the issue, on which the postfunction was triggered. The subtask get´s created but not linked to the calling task.

And this is the error:

2016-01-11 11:39:39,925 http-bio-8063-exec-19 ERROR asu 699x3972x1 16m4yz4 10.1.21.129 /secure/CommentAssignIssue.jspa [scriptrunner.jira.workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction] ************************************************************************************* 
2016-01-11 11:39:39,926 http-bio-8063-exec-19 ERROR asu 699x3972x1 16m4yz4 10.1.21.129 /secure/CommentAssignIssue.jspa [scriptrunner.jira.workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction] Script function failed on issue: RQA-7338, actionId: 81, file: /home/qa/Tools/Jira/scripts/CreateDevTestExecutionSubtask.groovy groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.config.DefaultSubTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl, com.atlassian.jira.ofbiz.IssueGenericValue, com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser) values: [RQA-7338, [timespent:null, timeoriginalestimate:7200, project:11400, ...], ...] Possible solutions: createSubTaskIssueLink(com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue, com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue, com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User), createSubTaskIssueLink(org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue, org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue, com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User) at CreateDevTestExecutionSubtask.run(CreateDevTestExecutionSubtask.groovy:212)

So what I need to know, is how I can convert com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl andcom.atlassian.jira.ofbiz.IssueGenericValue to com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue so that the linking of the subtask works again. Or someone can help me to explain, how I have to use the missing function.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Andreas

An example on how to create subtask.

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl

def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService();
def issueInputParameters = new IssueInputParametersImpl();
def applicationUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
def subTaskManager = ComponentAccessor.getSubTaskManager()

Issue parentIssue = issue
issueInputParameters.setProjectId(parentIssue.getProjectId()).setIssueTypeId('5')
        .setSummary('A new sub task').setDescription('sub task description')

def parentIssueId = parentIssue.id
IssueService.CreateValidationResult createValidationResult =
        issueService.validateSubTaskCreate(applicationUser, parentIssueId, issueInputParameters);
if (createValidationResult.isValid()) {
    IssueService.IssueResult createResult = issueService.create(applicationUser, createValidationResult);
    subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(parentIssue, createResult.getIssue(), applicationUser);
}

This is for JIRA versions => 7. For JIRA versions < 7 convert application user to user:   

def applicationUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser().directoryuser

Please let me know if this works for you

The setIssueTypeId('5') is the id of the subTask issue type

[Andreas Sumper]

Yes! Thanks so much! I had to change all my code, but it works now. Only one thing: I am trying to set fixversions and affected versions from the parent. But I seem to miss something. This crashes:

issueInputParameters.setFixVersionIds(parentIssue.getFixVersions()) 

issueInputParameters.setAffectedVersionIds(parentIssue.getAffectedVersionIds()) 

it ends up in this:

The parentIssue.getFixVersions() will return to you a collection of versions but you want the ids, therefore try def listOfVersions = parentIssue.getFixVersions()?.collect {it.id} the same applies for the affectedVersions

[Andreas Sumper]

Thx for the hint! I am totally new to groovy and sometimes, I don´t see the whole picture! So what I did was the following: I created the listOfVersions as you sugested, but it gave me the wrong type. So I used parentIssue.getFixVersions()?.collect {it.getId()} this gives me objects of type long. But when I tried to set the fixversion of the subtask, I got an error, saying, that it can´t cast from arraylist to long. It works, if I specify one element by using [index]. But what should I do, if I have more than one fixversions in the parent issue? I tried this: def listOfFixVersions = parentIssue.getFixVersions()?.collect {it.getId()} for (curvers in listOfFixVersions) { println("adding version " + curvers) issueInputParameters.setFixVersionIds(curvers) } But this only sets the last value, of course. So my question is, how should I use my array in this special case. And what might be more important: Where can I get this knowledge, so that I don´t have to bother others.

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

Andrea Try to assign the versions after the subtask is created, in your case: if (createValidationResult.isValid()) { IssueService.IssueResult createResult = issueService.create(applicationUser, createValidationResult) subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(parentIssue, createResult.getIssue(), applicationUser) createResult.getIssue().setFixVersions(parentIssue.getFixVersions()) } With the setFixVersions you need the versions and not the ids therefore you don't need to 'collect' them Please let me know if this work for you

[Andreas Sumper]

Yes! Thanks again for the hint! I spent hours on that script! It works now! All suggestions you gave are perfectly working!

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

Glad to help, regarding your question "where you can get this knowledge" first I would suggest the SR documentation https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/quickstart.html. Also in Atlassian Answers there is always a good chance to find an already answered question which can be similar to yours and especially for SR lot of users share their (very often great) scripts / solutions. And finally if nothing of the above works you can post your question and I am sure that someone will give you a hint or even the solution (I do not think that anyone feels 'bothered' :) )

Hi, 

 When I googled for jira script runner create issue "setAffectedVersionIds"

I get this link first. Thought it might help someone to add AffectedVersions.

The following lines helped me

//oIssue is the original issue from which I am creating a new issue

def affectedVersionIds = oIssue.getAffectedVersions()?.collect {it.id}
def Long_affectedVersionIds=[]
affectedVersionIds.each { it ->
    Long_affectedVersionIds.add(it as long);
}

.....

issueInputParameters.setAffectedVersionIds(Long_affectedVersionIds as Long[])

I achieved it with some trial and error, if there is a better way, willing to learn
