NPE with "Copy a parsed text to a field Function"

Issue #946 resolved
AndreasK created an issue

We are using the Postfunction to parse the description with a regexp and store the result in a custom field. RegExp: findReplaceAll(toString(findPattern(%{00001}, "Created via e-mail received from: ([^\]]+)"),""),"Created via e-mail received from: ","")

This writes the mail address in the description (created via incoming mail handler) to a custom field. This works in 2.2.45 and doesn't work in 2.2.46 anymore.

Creates a NullPointerException:

Unable to create issue with message.

    Hi @AndiKuhn,

    Sorry for the issue. Please, tell me which post-function are you using?

    Can you, please, attach a screenshot with post-function's tab? I want to see configuration of the post-function.

  2. AndreasK reporter

    Hi, the postfunction is the one i used for this tickets summary ;) "Copy a parsed text to a field"

    Yes, this works ! Perhaps add this example to your regression tests.

    When will you officially release this version ?

    Thanks, Andreas

  5. Fidel Castro Armario repo owner

    Thanks @AndiKuhn. I will be releasing the new version in a couple of hours.

    Please, let me know, whether you are creating the issues using email or any other special procedure.

  6. AndreasK reporter

    Issues are created by Incoming Mail Handler as well as using standard 'Create' in the UI. Nothing special in the 'Create' Transition besides your postfunction.

  7. Fidel Castro Armario repo owner

    Does the problem happen when the issues are created through UI, or only when created through emails?

  8. AndreasK reporter

    Hm, interesting. The error only occurs when the issue is created by mail handler. Even if i put the string "[Created via e-mail received from: Andi Kuhn mail@test.de]" into the description when creating by UI, it works as expected !

  9. Fidel Castro Armario repo owner

    The problem only happens when issues are being created anonymously, i.e., when JIRA can't identify a user as creator.

    Issue has been fixed in just released version 2.2.47.
