Scriptrunner - Getting Value of First Component

[jeff poggensee]

I'm very new to Jira API, Groovy scripting and the Scriptrunner Plugin. Given that, I have been able to use it in a post function to raise a custom notification event based on the value of a custom field. Now a customer would like to be able notify different groups of users based on the component entered. Team A should be notified if Component A is entered, Team B notified when Component B is entered, ect. The event raised should be base on the first component entered and in this project the user should only chose one component for an issue.

My question is - Using scriptrunner plugin, is it possible to get the value of the first component entered and if so can anyone provide an example of the script?

If this is not possible, I can always remove components and implement a customfield with the required values, but would have to change some filters and dashboards as well.

Thanks in Advance

I'm not sure if getComponentObjects() method returns components in same order as user added, but you can test with code like this

issue.getComponentObjects() { c ->
   //do whaever you want with...
   log.debug "Component ${c.getName()}"
}

or

issue.getComponentObjects().getAt(0)?.getName() //corrected per Jamie's comment. Now null safe

Thanks Alexey, I'll give this a try. FYI - I was able to get around this by using by component lead assignment. I raised a custom event by checking the value of issue's assignee for the various component lead names.

the easiest way to quickly test groovy script is to create script field and test it on actual issue without any consequences

Should be the following, otherwise you will get NPE for issues with no components.

issue.getComponentObjects().getAt(0)?.getName()

Creating a script field for testing is a good idea, you don't need to assign it to any issues. Or personally I just use issuemanager to get an issue, and test in the admin script panel.

We all had to learn once ;-) Anyway, hopefully that sort of problem would come out in testing...

Thanks Jamie.

Two weeks ago I had no idea Groovy exists. Still learning

Thanks Alexey and Jamie, this will be very useful on the next project !
