issue updated event contents

Brandon Moseley
Brandon Moseley October 16, 2013

I'm writing a listener that will listen for issue updated events. Is there a way to read what changed that caused the issue updated event. The changlog is printed out to catalina.out when using the com.atlassian.jira.event.listener.DebugListener. I'm looking to get the same information for evaluation in the listener.

I was able to figure it out. The code below worked for me.

public void onIssueEvent(IssueEvent issueEvent) {
        Long eventTypeId = issueEvent.getEventTypeId();
        Issue issue = issueEvent.getIssue();
        User user = issueEvent.getUser();
      
        
        // if it's an event we're interested in, log it
        if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_CREATED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been created at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getCreated());
        } else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_RESOLVED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been resolved at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getResolutionDate());
        } else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_CLOSED_ID)) {
            log.info("Issue {} has been closed at {}.", issue.getKey(), issue.getUpdated());
        } else if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_UPDATED_ID)) {
        	List<GenericValue> changeItems = null;
        	
        	try {
        		GenericValue changeLog = issueEvent.getChangeLog();
            	changeItems = changeLog.internalDelegator.findByAnd("ChangeItem", EasyMap.build("group",changeLog.get("id")));
        	} catch (GenericEntityException e){
        		System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        	}
        	
        	log.info("number of changes: {}",changeItems.size());
        	for (Iterator<GenericValue> iterator = changeItems.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();){
        		GenericValue changetemp = (GenericValue) iterator.next();
	        		String field = changetemp.getString("field");
	        		String oldstring = changetemp.getString("oldstring");
	        		String newstring = changetemp.getString("newstring");
	        		StringBuilder fullstring = new StringBuilder();
	        		fullstring.append("Issue ");
	        		fullstring.append(issue.getKey());
	        		fullstring.append(" field ");
	        		fullstring.append(field);
	        		fullstring.append(" has been updated from ");
	        		fullstring.append(oldstring);
	        		fullstring.append(" to ");
	        		fullstring.append(newstring);
	        		log.info("changes {}", fullstring.toString());
	        		
	        		if(field == "Component") changeAssignee(changetemp, issue, user);
	        	}
          }
    }

   
    private void changeAssignee(GenericValue changetemp, Issue issue, User user) {
		String currentAssignee = issue.getAssigneeId();
		String componentName = null;
		String componentLead = null;
		Collection<ProjectComponent> components = issue.getComponentObjects();
		//log.info("current assignee: {}", currentAssignee);
		
		for (Iterator<ProjectComponent> iterator = components.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();){
			ProjectComponent component = (ProjectComponent) iterator.next();
			componentName = component.getName();
			componentLead = component.getLead();
			log.info("component name: {}", componentName);
			log.info("component lead: {}", componentLead);

		}
		if (currentAssignee != componentLead && components.size() == 1){
			MutableIssue mIssue = (MutableIssue) issue;
			mIssue.setAssigneeId(componentLead);
			IssueService issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService();

			IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters();
			issueInputParameters.setAssigneeId(componentLead);
			 
			UpdateValidationResult updateValidationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(user,mIssue.getId(), issueInputParameters);
			 
			if (updateValidationResult.isValid())
			{
			    IssueResult updateResult = issueService.update(user, updateValidationResult);
			    if (!updateResult.isValid())
			    {
			        log.info("Issue Assignee changed");
			    }
			}
		}
	}

I agree, this API could use some re-design :-) Thanks for sharing the solution with us!

You can get the changelog from IssueEvent object. Use getChangeLog() method. You can get change items from the changelog using OfBizDelegator.

Long id = changeLog.getLong("id");
List&lt;GenericValue&gt; changes = this.delegator.findByAnd("ChangeItem", MapBuilder.build("group", id));

I'm thinking I made a wrong move somewhere. Can you help me with this. I'm using the tutorial code as a base for learning purposes.

Some imports removed for length.

package com.example.tutorial.plugins;

import java.util.List;

import com.atlassian.jira.util.collect.MapBuilder;
import com.atlassian.jira.ofbiz.OfBizDelegator;

import org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue;

public class IssueCreatedResolvedListener implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(IssueCreatedResolvedListener.class);

    private final EventPublisher eventPublisher;

    private OfBizDelegator delegator;

    public IssueCreatedResolvedListener(EventPublisher eventPublisher) {
        this.eventPublisher = eventPublisher;
    }

    @Override
    public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
        // register ourselves with the EventPublisher
        eventPublisher.register(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() throws Exception {
        // unregister ourselves with the EventPublisher
        eventPublisher.unregister(this);
    }

    @EventListener
    public void onIssueEvent(IssueEvent issueEvent) {
        Long eventTypeId = issueEvent.getEventTypeId();
        Issue issue = issueEvent.getIssue();
        
        // if it's an event we're interested in, log it
if (eventTypeId.equals(EventType.ISSUE_UPDATED_ID)) {
        	GenericValue changeLog = issueEvent.getChangeLog();
        	Long id = changeLog.getLong("id");
        	List&lt;GenericValue&gt; changes = delegator.findByAnd("ChangeItem", MapBuilder.build("group", id));
        	String updated = changes.toString();
        	log.info("Issue {} has been updated with {}", issue.getKey(),updated);
        }
    }
}

What exactly are you trying to get? You can iterate on the changeItems and get the changes.

String field = change.getString("field");
String oldValue = change.getString("oldstring");
String newValue = change.getString("newstring");

Hi Jobin, below code snippet is not working. I am using JIRA 6.1.6. What is wrong here? Could you please help? {code} try{ GenericValue changeLog = issueEvent.getChangeLog(); Long id = changeLog.getLong("id"); List<GenericValue> changes = this.delegator.findByAnd("ChangeItem", MapBuilder.build("group", id)); for(GenericValue change: changes){ String field = change.getString("field"); String oldValue = change.getString("oldstring"); String newValue = change.getString("newstring"); log.info(field + " - "+oldValue+" - "+newValue+" - "+change.getEntityName()); } }catch(Exception e){ log.error(e.getMessage()); } {code}
