Cannot make a transition in post function issue A if condition of ScriptRunner of issue B is enabled

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

I have a condition of ScriptRunner for a transition "In-progress":

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
 
... 
passesCondition = (showTransition == true);

and the above condition hides workflow button "in-progress". And it is a desired behaviour.

However, when I use post-function of another issue to make above transition "in-progress", then transition is not happened. But if I disable
a condition for a transition "In-progress", then transition is executed perfectly.

Schematically, it looks like this:

- issue A does not have workflow button 'in-progress' as there is a condition of ScriptRunner
- issue B tries to make transition of issue A, but there is no result. However, if I disable a ScriptRunner condition, then issue B makes perfectly a transition of issue A

My question is how can I make a transition in post function with enabled condition of ScriptRunner?

Hello @zaharovvv_suek_ru

How exactly are you doin this transition, can you provide some code?

There are some methods that allow to skip conditions and validators check

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

Hey, @Mark Markov. The whole code looks like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;
import com.opensymphony.workflow.loader.ActionDescriptor
import com.opensymphony.workflow.loader.StepDescriptor
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl


def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).each{ issueLink ->
    def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()
    log.info('3.1. ***** LinkedIssue: *****' + linkedIssue)
    log.info('3.2. ***** IssueType of LinkedIssue: *****' 
        + linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName())
    if(linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName() == 'Epic') {
        log.info('3.3. issue type is Epic. We have got it!') 
        def workflowManager = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowManager()
        def workflow = workflowManager.getWorkflow(linkedIssue);
        def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
            .getLoggedInUser()
        StepDescriptor stepDescritpor = workflow
           .getLinkedStep(linkedIssue.getStatus())
        List<ActionDescriptor> outActions = stepDescritpor.getActions() 
        outActions.collect { actionWork-> 
           log.info('4.1. *** Section action name is riched. ***')
           log.info('4.2. Action Work Name: ' + actionWork.name)
           log.info('4.3. *** Section action name is riched. ***')
           //In-progress
           if(actionWork.name == 'In-progress') { 
               def transitionId_InProgress = actionWork.id; 
               log.info('5.1. *** transitionId_InProgress: ' 
                    + transitionId_InProgress)

               if(transitionId_InProgress > 0) {
                  log.info('6.1. actionWork.name ' + actionWork.name + 
                      ' . Action Work id: ' + actionWork.id 
                      + ' . transitionId_InProgress: ' 
                      + transitionId_InProgress) 
                  def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService();
                  def issueInputParameters = issueService
                      .newIssueInputParameters();
                  IssueService.TransitionValidationResult validationResult= 
                      issueService.validateTransition(currentUser, 
                      linkedIssue.id, transitionId_InProgress as Integer, 
                      new IssueInputParametersImpl())
                  def errorCollection = validationResult.errorCollection
 
                  log.info('9.3. transition section:')
                  if ( !errorCollection.hasAnyErrors()) {
                      log.info('9.3. transition section. Successful. 
                          LinkedIssue: ' + linkedIssue)
                      issueService.transition(currentUser, validationResult)
                  }
                  else {
                  log.info('9.3. transition section. Something wrong here. 
                      LinkedIssue: ' + linkedIssue)
                  log.info(errorCollection) 
                  } 
                  transitionId_InProgress = 0;
                  log.info('9.3. transitionId_InProgress is set to 0: ' 
                      + transitionId_InProgress);
              } 
          }
       }
    }
}

And the above code cannot make a transition if there is a condition of transition of ScriptRunner.

You can use this method to validate transition:

validateTransition(@Nullable
                                                           ApplicationUser user,
                                                           Long issueId,
                                                           int actionId,
                                                           IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters,
                                                           TransitionOptions transitionOptions)

In TransitionOptions you can skip conditions

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

@Alexey Matveev Thanks for suggestion!

I've tried your method:

IssueService.TransitionValidationResult validationResult = issueService
     .validateTransition(
         @Nullable, currentUser, linkedIssue.id,
         transitionId_Refinement as Integer, 
         new IssueInputParametersImpl())

however I see the following error:

The script could not be compiled: <pre>org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script332.groovy: 56: unable to resolve class Nullable , unable to find class for annotation @ line 56, column 116. sueService.validateTransition(@Nullable, ^ 1 error </pre>.

[Mark Markov]

As @Alexey Matveev says you need use method with TransitionOptions object.

It should be like this

import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.TransitionOptions;

TransitionOptions transitionOptions = new TransitionOptions.Builder().skipConditions().skipPermissions().skipValidators().build();
.
.
.
IssueService.TransitionValidationResult validationResult = issueService.validateTransition(currentUser, linkedIssue.id, transitionId_InProgress as Integer, new IssueInputParametersImpl(), transitionOptions)

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

@Mark Markov

Thank you very much! The transition is executed! :)

[Alexey Matveev]

Hello,

Make a separate transition (for example, name it autoInProgress) and set the Hide transition form user condition for this transition. In your script you can execute the autoInProgress transition.

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

@Alexey Matveev

I've tried your approach and created a separate transition "InProgressHidden". Then I've added a condition "Hide transition from user". So transition "InProgressHidden"  cannot be seen by users. And it is desired behaviour.

However, if I try to make a transition "InProgressHidden" by workflow function, then the transition "InProgressHidden" is not happened.

If I turn off a condition "Hide transition from user", then transition executes perfectly.

The code that I am using to make the transition "InProgressHidden":

if(actionWork.name == 'InProgressHidden') { 
    def transitionId_InProgressHidden = actionWork.id; 
    log.info('5.1. *** InProgressHidden: ' + InProgressHidden)

    if(InProgressHidden > 0) {
        log.info('6.1. actionWork.name ' + actionWork.name 
            + ' . Action Work id: ' + actionWork.id 
            + ' . InProgressHidden: ' + InProgressHidden) 
        def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService();
        def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters();
        IssueService.TransitionValidationResult validationResult= 
            issueService.validateTransition(currentUser, 
            linkedIssue.id, InProgressHidden as Integer, 
            new IssueInputParametersImpl())
        def errorCollection = validationResult.errorCollection
 
        log.info('7.1. transition section:')
        if ( !errorCollection.hasAnyErrors()) {
            log.info('7.2. transition section. Successful.LinkedIssue: ' 
                + linkedIssue)
            issueService.transition(currentUser, validationResult)
        }
        else {
             log.info('7.3. transition section. Something wrong here. 
                 LinkedIssue: ' + linkedIssue)
             log.info(errorCollection) 
       } 
       InProgressHidden = 0;
       log.info('9.3. InProgressHidden is set to 0: ' + InProgressHidden);
   } 
}

It seems that I am doing something wrong. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
