Conditional Status synchronization using Status.groovy

Originally asked by Berry Kersten on 13 February 2020 (original question)

Currently I’m using Status.groovy (as documented on https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/Status\+synchronization\+on\+Jira\+Server\#StatussynchronizationonJiraServer\-statusSyncExternal) to sync statuses. That’s working fine. However, I want to sync a status conditionally. But I’m not sure how to do that.

For example, this is the current rule:
Status.receive(useRemoteStatusByDefault = true, workflowMapping = [
“Open” : “Under Review”,
“Accepted” : “Under Review”,
“Done” : “Fixed”,
], resolutionMapping = [:])

I only want to make the last status mapping conditional based on the statement: IF fixVersions != null

I guess something like:

Status.receive(useRemoteStatusByDefault = true, workflowMapping = [
“Open” : “Under Review”,
“Accepted” : “Under Review”,
if (fixVersions != null) {
“Done” : “Fixed”,
], resolutionMapping = [:])

Any suggestions how this can be done? Thanks!Source: Jira Server/Datacenter (old community)

What about

UNTESTED

def workflowMap = [ 
	"Open" : "Under Review", 
	"Accepted" : "Under Review", 
	"Done" : "Fixed" 
]



if (replica.status.name != "Done" || replica.fixVersions != null) {
   // don't do the status transition when the remote status is 'Done' and the fixVersions is empty
   Status.receive(useRemoteStatusByDefault = true, workflowMap, [:])
}

Great, thanks.

Unfortunately, it’s still doing the transition if the fixVersions is empty. However, I don’t see any value for that in the Remote Issues, so it seems to be empty.

Maybe it is not really empty, but the value is null.

Can you add in your code something like

import com.exalate.api.exception.IssueTrackerException


// throw an error to be able to inspect the replicas
throw new IssueTrackerException("Fixversion = ${replica.fixVersions}")

This will generate an error. The details of the error contain the message being sent (at bottom of the page)

Yes indeed, that might be the issue. I’ve added the additional code, and according to the error

Script error for issue RI-4844. Details: javax.script.ScriptException: com.exalate.api.exception.IssueTrackerException: Fixversion = []. Error line: Script178.groovy:35

Getting closer… I tried again using

if (replica.status.name != "Done" && replica.fixVersions.isEmpty()) {
   Status.receive(useRemoteStatusByDefault = true, workflowMap, [:])
}

But that’s not resulting the expected behaviour. I want that (pseudocode)

IF status DONE AND fixVersions has a value

OR IF any other status AND fixVersions is empty

THEN do the workflowmap

As I’m not a Groovy expert, I’m not sure how to do this. Any suggestions?

I guess you’re almost there - can you try

def workflowMap = [ 
	"Open" : "Under Review", 
	"Accepted" : "Under Review", 
	"Done" : "Fixed" 
]



if (replica.status.name != "Done" || replica.fixVersions?.size() > 0) {
   // don't do the status transition when the remote status is 'Done' and the fixVersions is empty
   Status.receive(useRemoteStatusByDefault = true, workflowMap, [:])
}

Thanks for the new suggestion. However, unfortunately that does not work: when the status is set to Done AND FixVersions is empty, then the sync is performed (including workflowmapping).

I also tried the operator != but that didn’t work as well. Even tried == and < (for testing a negative flow).

Just thinking out loud Maybe we should include some kind of other check first, like

def emptyList = fixVersions.isEmpty

if (replica.status.name != "Done" || emptyList = false )
Francis Martens (Exalate) commented on 17 February 2020

Yes - this might work - small suggestion …

if (replica.status.name  != "Done" || !replica.fixVersions?.isEmpty) ...
Berry Kersten commented on 18 February 2020

I found out that something else was wrong the config…

The suggestion if (replica.status.name != “Done” || replica.fixVersions?.size() > 0) { works!

aha - nice to know
