Groovy "Script Post Function" not executing

[Tanner Wortham]

I'm attempting to run the attached js script as a post function between two workflow steps. Upon execution, the post function seemingly does not execute and the system behaves exactly as it did before I added this new post function. I'm unsure where the error log might exist for JIRA so instead I'll step you through some of my troubleshooting techniques to date:

• Gave the post function a bogus file path. It didn't so much as error out saying no such file.
• Ran the script on the "script fields" tab for groovy. I provided the script in the "script file path" to verify that the script was being found on the server. The script worked like a charm.
• Ran the script on script runner but it threw an error which I've attached.

That's not javascript (js), that's groovy, as such it needs to have the extension .groovy.

The exception shows you that the wrong interpreter is being invoked:

sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EvaluatorException

If you have applied the updated workflow with the script post-function, there will be an exception in the logs.

worked like a charm. it's always the simple things that end up consuming far too much time. ;)

i am facing same prob. Script is not getting executed. And i am not sure where to put the script so that JIRA locates the path.

I think this is a different problem, please ask a new question.

Consider it confirmed. I decided it use an absolute path since $CATALINA_BASE looked not to be set. That path is D:\JIRA\work\Catalina\lockedestimate.js where D:\JIRA is the path for our JIRA install.

Tanner,

Could you confirm that you have checked the notes from Jamie here?
