Originally asked by Gabriele Centinaro on 23 March 2021 (original question)

Hi, I want comments to be sync only if they start with a specific string, something like ‘TO_SYNC’.
Is it possible to do that with some kind of string comparison?

I did this in the replica site and it works:

issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica,
{
                       comment ->
                       comment.body =
                          comment.author.displayName +
                                  " commented: \n" +
                          comment.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") + "\n"
                    }
)

Excellent

You do have the choice to replace the label on the source or the target.
I would prefer to do it on the source, because it might be that you want to change that behaviour in the future. Having this logic on the target creates a dependency which is more difficult to maintain.

Anyway - thanks for finding a solution.

Thanks for the suggestion, will look into it.

Absolutely.

In the outgoing sync. make sure that replica.comments only contain the comments which have ‘TO_SYNC’

Outgoing SYNC - Untested

replica.comments = issue.comments.findAll { it.body.contains("TO_SYNC") }

Give it a try

Additional step, can I remove the “TO_SYNC” from the comment before synchronizing it?

Francis Martens (Exalate) commented on 23 March 2021

Yes you can

Outgoing Sync - Untested

// filter out comments
def transferComments = issue.comments.findAll { it.body.contains("TO_SYNC") }

// remove the to_sync label from the body before sending it
replica.comments = tranferComments.each { it.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") }

Great, Thanks!

The sync gives this error on the replaceAll part:

Check out the error message

> com.exalate.basic.domain.hubobject.v1.BasicHubComment.replaceAll() is applicable for argument types: (String, String) values: [TO_SYNC, ]

What is the object replaceAll is being applied on, and what should it be.

Gabriele Centinaro commented on 23 March 2021

I know, I tried the below option, the error goes away but the replace does not work, it transfers also the TO_SYNC part:

replica.comments = transferComments.findAll { it.body.replaceAll(“TO_SYNC”, “”) }

Gabriele Centinaro commented on 23 March 2021

Actually this is what I did but the replace does not work:

:

replica.comments = transferComments.each { it.body.replaceAll(“TO_SYNC”, “”) }

Francis Martens (Exalate) commented on 23 March 2021

Ah

you need to return the object in your each closure like in

replica.comments = transferComments.each {

     it.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") 
     it
}

(I’m doing this between meetings - so ymmv)

Gabriele Centinaro commented on 23 March 2021

I pasted the above but still it does not remove the TO_SYNC. Whenever you have time, thanks!

Francis Martens (Exalate) commented on 23 March 2021

Try this.

replica.comments = transferComments.each {

     it.body = it.body.replaceAll("TO_SYNC", "") 
     it
}
