Script works in script runner console but does not work in groovy class

[Shruti Jain]

A class is created as custom listner and uploaded in jira server. The script in class works fine in console but does not work as custom listner.

Please help.

What's the exception you get? Did you diclare a package for the class? Did you try runnign a simple hello world line as a class from a script listener?

[Shruti Jain]

Really appreciate quick reply on this. I did not get any exception. Actually, my aim is to update a custom field on basis of other 4 custom fields. I wrote a script which worked fine in console and updated the issue.  I put the script in a class and saved class in /WEB-INF/classes/com/util folder.

Following is code for the same

}

catch (Exception ex) { customField_5.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField_5), null),changeHolder)
}

finally {

} }    }}

Hi,

You don't need the beginning, just start your script from log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG) and also leave the import statements.

Also, try with inline first. Make sure your code works and then place the script under \Application Data\JIRA\scripts

[Shruti Jain]

ok, then can I call this script file from issue updated/created events in a project as a custom event listner?  Sorry, I am new to Jira scripting. Really appreciate your response. And how do I debug on Jira server? 

[Tanya Gordon]

Hi Shruti Jain, 

Sorry for the late response. 

Yes, you simply define a custom scripted listener, set triggers (issue created/updated) and paste your script inside. 

In order to debug just use log.debug() statements. You should find the print outs in the atlassian-jira.log file on the server. There's also a scirpt runner built-in script you can use in order to read the server log files in case you don't have the login to the server.

[Shruti Jain]

No worries. Really appreciate your response. I will try this. Hey, I have another question. Does it also work on Jira cloud?

[Tanya Gordon]

Yes, it should work the same if you have script runner for Jira cloud installed

[Shruti Jain]

Hi Tanya - What will I replace the following line  with to get current event when this script is attached to issue updated/created event?

MutableIssue issue = event.issue
