How to Assign Issues using Java

[pavanbachuDexcom]

• I have set up a JIRA server on a local machine and have created A software project and have uploaded issues using excel.
• The motive is to modify few fields using Java like: STATUS, getIssueID based on issue title and upload docs and also to modify assignee and Labels.
• Struck at modifying assignee and Labels.
• Please find the gist of pom.xml

Hi @pavanbachuDexcom, Please have a look at the similar question at https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/componentaccessor-not-initialised/1143.

Hope this helps you. Thanks.

@Rambabu Patina _Appfire_  I  have tried that solution but it's throwing null pointer when setting assignee?

IssueManager mockIssueManager = mock(IssueManager.class);
final MockComponentWorker componentAccessorWorker = new MockComponentWorker();
componentAccessorWorker.addMock(IssueManager.class,mockIssueManager);
ComponentAccessor.initialiseWorker(componentAccessorWorker);
MutableIssue io = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(issueID);
io.setAssignee(" ");

@pavanbachuDexcom Here what's the user id you are providing in the method

setAssignee(<Provide valid user id>) 

[pavanbachuDexcom]

I am passing a regular string, is there a better way to get the user id?

[Rambabu Patina _Appfire_]

Try this way:

setAssignee(ApplicationUser assignee) // For this method you have to pass the type ApplicationUser

setAssigneeId(String assigneeId) // For this method you can provide user id.

How do we get the Application User instance ?

@pavanbachuDexcom

You already have the ComponentAccessor reference, so

If you want to get the current logged in user try

ApplicationUser currentUser  = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();

To get other users try:

ApplicationUser currentUser  = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByKey(String userKey);

or 

ApplicationUser currentUser  = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(String userName);

Hope this helps you.

Tried Code 
IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
MutableIssue io = issueManager.getIssueObject(issueID);
io.setAssigneeId("XXXX");

Got exception 

This is not expected to occur on a production system.
Developers that encounter this message within a unit test
should use n MockitoMocksInContainer rule to initialize mockito and ComponentAccessor.
For more detailed explanation read the documentation
for MockComponentWorker in the jira-tests artifact for more information
about what causes this error and how to address it.
