Send message if JQL query passes validation

[Ian Juliff]

Hi Fidel,

I have the following query

issuekey = "%{00015}" and issue.property[development].prs > 0 and "%{11401}" is Empty

Which tells me if the current ticket has a pull request but has not got a System set.

What I would like to do is send a validation message if the condition is met. I know I can send it if it fails the validation but that doesn't help me as I only want to send the validation when it is has a pull request.

Is there anyway of doing this?

What would be useful is an extra option on the "Validate by JQL option" to send if validation message wehn query PASSES instead of fails

[Fidel Castro Armario]

Validations are features to prevent a transition from being executed under certain circumstances. They show a custom message to the user in order to explain the reason the transition can't be executed.

Do you want to show a message, and let the transition to be executed anyway?

[Ian Juliff]

No i want it to stop the execution if the "JQL validation condition" is met? Rather than stopping if it it fails validation?

It may be possible i'm just not sure how?

Can you please attach a screenshot of your current validation configuration?

[Ian Juliff]

Here you go.

What I really would like is the option to send validation if condition PASSES or FAILS, see red circle. At present can only send if fails.Link TextLink Text

Or can I change the JQL so it will fail validation when there is a pull request and system field isn't set (It has to meet both conditions)

[Fidel Castro Armario]

Try the following changes:

1) Use the following JQL Query:

issue.property[development].prs > 0 and System is Empty

Note that I have replaced field code for System custom field with the name of the field. I don't know which is the exact name of the field, please check it up.

2) Update Condition parameter selecting "current issue doesn't belong to output of the query".

Please, let me know if it satisfies your needs.

Hi Fidel,

I tried that, the problem is that then stops all tickets which don't have PULL requests.

I specifically want to restrict tickets with PULL requests that don't have the System field set. I'm not sure if there is a way of writing a conditional JQL query?

If issue.property[development].prs > 0 then If System is Empty then "Fail Validation" End If End if

Its the fact I need both elemetns of the query that is causing the problem and that PULL Requests isn't a field as such restricts me to JQL rather than the other field functions.

I there another way i could stop tickets with pull requests and a filed not set?

I'm pretty sure that your needs can be satisfied with current "Validation based on JQL query".

It shouldn't stop issues with "issue.property[development].prs = 0" since those issues are not returned by JQL ("issue.property[development].prs > 0 and System is Empty"), thus they satisfy the condition we have selected, i.e. "current issue doesn't belong to output of the query".

According to my understanding of the problem, my solution should work.

Please, tell me where I am wrong.

Hi Fidel,

I think there might be a bug in the code. I am guessing it might be with regards to the issue.property[development].prs

The validation works perfectly for ISSUES with PULL requests, however it is throwing the validation warning for ISSUES with NO PULL requests when the System field isn't set. I know the issue.properties are not core JIRA functionality, strange though. Is it possible to have a look?

Hi Ian,

I don't think the problem has to do with issue properties in JQL queries, since the plugin is using the same JIRA service that executes the JQL query from JIRA UI.

Please, tell me:

• Which type of custom field is System?
• Have you replaced "%{11401}" with it's field name? If the field name has spaces you should write it between double quotes.

[Ian Juliff]

Sorry Fidel,

I have just replaced the (system field ID) with System and it is working fine now.

Sorry you told me to do that right at the start. Sorry i have wasted your time but thanks so much for your help.

Regards,

Ian

It doesn't matter, Ian. I'm glad to see you achieved to implement the validation successfully.

[Ian Juliff]

Thanks again
