Jython to create an issue

[PadmeshG]

I have been using Jython script to create an issue and few sub-tasks but after upgrading from v5.0.7 to 6.1.7 get following error to create a ticket.

Error creating issue: root cause: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 16, in TypeError: createIssue(): 1st arg can't be coerced to com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User, String

Here is my jython script

#add all required imports here

from com.atlassian.jira import ComponentManager

from com.atlassian.jira.util import ImportUtils

from com.atlassian.jira import ManagerFactory

from com.atlassian.jira import ManagerFactory

issueManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager()

issueFactory = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueFactory()

authenticationContext = ComponentManager.getInstance().getJiraAuthenticationContext()

subTaskManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getSubTaskManager()

issueObject = issueFactory.getIssue()

issueObject.setProject(issue.getProject())

issueObject.setIssueTypeId("168")

issueObject.setParentId(issue.getId())

issueObject.setPriority(issue.getPriority())

issueObject.setSummary("create sub-task")

issueObject.setReporter(issue.getReporter())

subTask = issueManager.createIssue(authenticationContext.getUser(), issueObject)

subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue.getGenericValue(), subTask, authenticationContext.getUser())

ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(True)

ComponentManager.getInstance().getIndexManager().reIndex(subTask)

ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(False)

The one bold are 16 and 17 lines and not sure why am i getting this error. Any help woul appreciate ?

Padmesh,

Try replacing authenticationContext.getUser() with authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser() and your scrit should work

Bob,

Thanks for the response. Wondering how user API is related to Jython script which is native in Jira.

Can you help provide more details please ?

JIRA changed user APIs in 5.2. You will have to upgrade your scripts. Google should help you find related information.
