[Scriptrunner] Send Custom E-Mail: Mail not send when datefield is empty

[Lars Swart]

Hi, I use the Custom E-Mail Postfunction of Scriptrunner to send mails.

I include a customfield with a datepicker in the mail. 

In the condition and configuration part I use this code

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
import java.sql.Timestamp

def dateCF = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11209")
def dateTimestamp = issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateCF) as Timestamp


config.put('date', dateTimestamp.toLocalDateTime().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd.MM.yyyy")))



return true

In the email template this

Hi, this is a test 

<br /><br />

<% if (issue.getCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11209"))) out << "<b>Eintrittsdatum:</b> " << "${config['date']}" << "<br /><br />" %>

When the date is picked in the issue, everything works. 

When the date is empty, the mail is never sent.

I think it is because the condition and configuration part has no check for emptiness and the DateTimeFormatter gives a back a failure or something.

How can I check for an empty field in this section and prevent, the problem?

Hi, I found a solution. 

You need to catch the error of the dateTimestamp.toLocalDateTime() function.

try{

//Your code

 }catch(Exception e){ 

  log.warn e

}

In total it would look like this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
import java.sql.Timestamp

def dateCF = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11209")
def dateTimestamp = issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateCF) as Timestamp

try{
config.put('date', dateTimestamp.toLocalDateTime().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd.MM.yyyy")))
catch(Exception e){ 

  log.warn e

}


return true
