ScriptRunner post function issueService.transition didn't set the status

[Zhiyong Liu]

When transitioning an issue in the post function with issueService.transition, the destination status (let's call it status2) is not set. 

• On UI, the status stays at the source status (let's call it status1)
• On UI, the History tab displays that the status was changed from status1 to status2
• On UI, there are only 2 available transitions, which match neither status1 (it has 4 outgoing transitions, including the displayed two) nor status2 (it has 4 outgoing transitions, including the displayed two). 
• From DB, the jiraissue table shows the status is status1
• From DB, the changeGroup/changeItem table agrees with the UI History info
• I output a log line after issueService.transition() and it got printed. The time elapse of this post function is roughly 110ms.
• I catch Throwable around  issueService.transition() but nothing is caught
• I waited for many minutes and the status is not updated. 
• I indexed it and nothing has been changed. 

BTW, the post function is the last function on the post function list. 

I am using JIRA 7.2.6 software and ScriptRunner 4.3.1. 

Did anyone see any problem similar? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Your code seems to be valid. There are two strange places: {} after try block instead { and line 

 issueInputParameters.setSkipScreenCheck(true)

I also refactored your code a little

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

IssueService issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def workflow = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowManager().getWorkflow(issue)

log.info("Found workflow " + workflow.getDisplayName())
List<ActionDescriptor> oActions = workflow.getLinkedStep(issue.getStatus()).getActions();
log.info("Found " + oActions.size() + " actions for " + workflow.getDisplayName())
try{
for (ActionDescriptor oAction : oActions) {
    log.info("Checking " + oAction.getName())
    if (oAction.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("from status1 to status2")) {
        // validate and transition subtask
 def IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()
        //is this line requared?
 issueInputParameters.setSkipScreenCheck(true)
        issueInputParameters.setComment("Testing comment")
        def validationResult = issueService.validateTransition(user, issue.getId(), oAction.getId(), issueInputParameters)
        if (validationResult.isValid()) {
            IssueService.IssueResult issueResult = issueService.transition(user, validationResult)
            if (!issueResult.isValid()) {
                log.warn("Failed to transition issue ${issue.key}, errors: ${issueResult.errorCollection}")
            }
            log.info("Successfully transition issue ${issue.key}, triggered by ${issue.id}")
        } else {
            String message = "Could not transition issue ${issue.key}, errors: ${validationResult.errorCollection}"
 log.warn(message)
            //The retry logic will pick up the exception
 throw new RuntimeException(message)
        }
        break;
    }
}
}catch(Throwable t){
    def message = "Failed to transition issue ${issue.key}"
 log.error(message)
}

I got the same problem and I solve it an other way

I put auto transition in the workflow (export workflow to xml, modify xml and import it)

sample in the xml : <action id="31" name="toNextPhase" auto="true">

and I control the transition by condition in the workflow

I wish this can help

an other post for auto transition Here

Hello,

I have the same issue. Any news about it?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, it is long time ago and I don't remember what was the exact solution but I don't see such problem anymore. I changed my database isolation level from read_committed to read_committed_snapshot and it solved a lot of weird problems but I don't remember this is one of the them or not.

Thanks for looking at this. My code is

def expectedTransitionName="from status1 to status2"
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def workflow = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowManager().getWorkflow(issue)
log.info("Found workflow " + workflow.getDisplayName())
StepDescriptor oStep = workflow.getLinkedStep(issue.getStatus());
List<ActionDescriptor> oActions = oStep.getActions();
log.info("Found " + oActions.size() + " actions for " + workflow.getDisplayName())
try{}
	for (ActionDescriptor oAction : oActions) {
		log.info("Checking " + oAction.getName())
		if (oAction.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(expectedTransitionName)) {
			// validate and transition subtask
			def IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()
			issueInputParameters.setSkipScreenCheck(true)
			issueInputParameters.setComment("Testing comment")
			def validationResult = issueService.validateTransition(user, issue.getId(), oAction.getId(), issueInputParameters)
			if (validationResult.isValid()) {
				def issueResult = issueService.transition(user, validationResult)
				if (!issueResult.isValid()) {
					log.warn("Failed to transition issue  ${issue.key}, errors: ${issueResult.errorCollection}")
				}
				log.info("Successfully transition issue ${issue.key}, triggered by ${issue.id}")
			} else {
				def message = "Could not transition issue ${issue.key}, errors: ${validationResult.errorCollection}"
				log.warn(message)
				//The retry logic will pick up the exception
				throw new RuntimeException(message)
			}
			break;
		}
	}
}catch(Throwable t){
	def message = "Failed to transition issue ${issue.key}"
	log.error(message)
}

 With the code, I am able to see the log output of "Successfully transition issue ${issue.key}, triggered by ${issue.id}". However the JIRA UI and the jiraissue table don't set the status to status2 ad described in my original question.

Could you provide your code?
