JIRA : Database Access

Retrieve Original Estimate via SOAP

There appear to be ways of setting the "Original Estimate" via SOAP (timetracking field), however I cannot
find a way to retrieve it.  Anyone found a way to do this?

And while I am here, any chance of extending the SOAP API to provide simple access to default fields like
this?  :)

Why does my plugin's "JIRA Version" read 0.0?

Hi,

When viewing my plugin information in JIRA it says:

Plugin Version: 1.0
JIRA Version: 0.0

Where can I specify which version of JIRA my plugin is supposed to run against?

Thanks,
Gili

Creating links from plugin

Hi *,
I would like to create links to everything that is affected in my plugin, eg. User object (to user profile),
Issue object (to the issue) but not including "<a href=..." in my template, but using the jira link
generation envitonment (eg. The closed issues are strike-trough, ...)
Is there a way to do this? I cannot find much information on this.
Thnx,
Tamas

create issue listener triggered by email handler doesn't have attachments

When adding issues via the email import service, the attachments don't seem to be available during the
"Create Issue" event in listeners.

Is this expected behavior and/or am I missing something?

All I have done to date is created a listener based on the sample code, tested for the Create event and called
getAttachments() both from the issue referenced by the event and invoking the attachment handler (just
to be sure) with the issue as argument.

By putting a breakpoint on my listener, I have verified that the issue is visible minus the attachment until
I let the listener complete.

JIRA Setup Issues

getValueFromIssue CalculatedCFType

Hi,

I try to display stored CustomFieldValues for each issue in issue navigator.

First storing:

{code}
originalIssue.setCustomFieldValue(CustumField(issueIdInOtherInstance), String(issueKey));
originalIssue.store();
{code}

Second read method:

{code}
public Object getValueFromIssue(CustomField field, Issue issue) {
		
	return issue.getCustomFieldValue(field);
}
{code}

This method should return the currently stored value for this particular issue.

But I end up in loop getting a StackOverflowError.

When I try to retrieve data from the issue or the field variable I get correct values but mixing them up lets me
ending up in an exception.

Thanks

JSS validation in Worflow

Giving it another shot, last post was moved under Bamboo development from some reason....

I'm pretty new to Jira and JSS so the question might seems very 'newbie like' to you :)

I would like to add a validation step to my workflow that will disable a button if specific condition is not met.

For example -

Version Release page.
If the 'Resolution' field is anything but 'Internal tests Completed' option, the 'Deploy' button will be disabled.

I tried to find a JSS example script or maybe something similar but failed. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Jelly Scripts

Hi,

I know its possible to provide additional namespaces for custom user tags in Jelly for Jira (like Minyaa
does) but I'm not sure where they get loaded from? Do I need to drop a jar on the classpath somewhere? Can I
provide them via a plugin (v1 or v2)?

Also is there an existing way to execute a bunch of jelly scripts prior to any integration tests being
executed by AMPS?

TIA
James

OSGi and external configuration files

Hi,

I am looking for some guidance on migrating existing JIRA plugins to version2/OSGi plugins. I understand
the implications of moving to the version2 plugin framework and have read the [Going from Plugin to OSGi
Bundle|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/PLUGINFRAMEWORK/Going+from+Plugin+to+OSGi+Bundle]
guide. I am looking for some best practice advice from Atlassian regarding external configuration
(.properties) files for OSGi bundle plugins.

Basically we have several sets of JIRA plugins that each work off a single configuration file that we used to
place in WEB-INF/classes (in fact we separated these files out of the webapp and into a folder Tomcat was
configured to load for ease of maintenance). Given OSGi classloading, the plugins we have converted to
version2 are no longer able to access this configuration; what is the recommended approach in this case,
taking into account that:

* We do not want to duplicate these properties files in each of the plugin bundles for obvious reasons
* These properties contain things like MySQL connection settings etc that we do not want to build a
[configuration
UI|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/PLUGINFRAMEWORK/Adding+a+Configuration+UI+for+your+Plugin]
for; we want externalised configuration that can be automatically managed (e.g. a property file)

The two approaches we are currently considering are:

* Defining a folder to search for the config file using -D
* Using the [OSGi Configuration
Admin|http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/org/osgi/service/cm/ConfigurationAdmin.html] which
we have not yet fully investigated.

Are there other approaches that we haven't considered? What is Atlassian's recommended approach?

One for Jamie (or other GroovyRunner folks)...

Hi All -

I am getting to the point in my ScriptRunner and Groovy scripts, where I would be well served by breaking
things apart and creating some shared libraries.

Am not yet sure that building classes (a lot of what I am doing are simple functions) and compiling them makes
sense yet, so I would ideally like to be able to do the equivalent of creating a module in Ruby and including
the scripts that I am creating.

What is the Groovy mechanism best suited to doing something along these lines? Anyone have a pointer to
documentation for someone who is new to Groovy (though comfortable in other scripting languages like Ruby)?

Also, what is the best way - when I am ready to do so - to compile my Groovy classes and function, so that they can
be accessed.

Any documentation pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Jordan
