Loop Through Issue Watchers

[jhreeves2001]

Summary: Need to loop through an issue's watchers; performing action on each watcher.

Algorithm:

• def wlist = getwatchernames(isssuekey)
• if wlist isn't null then
  • wlist.each()
    • watchermanager.stopwatching(it,issue.genericvalue)

I've attempted to use...

def wlist = getWatcherNames(issue.key);
wlist.each() {
     watcherManager.stopWatching(it, issue.genericValue);
}

... but receive the following error message:

"javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException. No signature of method: org.codehaus.groovy.jsr223.GroovyScriptEngineImpl.getWatcherNames() is applicble for argument types: (java.lang.String.values [MAIN-1234])"

Thanks so much for your help.

What's getWatcherNames() - is that code defined elsewhere in your script?

I think you want something like:

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil()
watcherManager.getCurrentWatcherUsernames(issue).each {
    watcherManager.stopWatching(userUtil.getUser(it), issue.genericValue)
}

(untested).

Hi Jamie --- thanks so much, yet again for your help (I'm incorporating your answer into other work you helped me through).

I'm jealous that you were able to watch so many games at Highbury. The "Invincibles" season must have been amazing. Henry ruled the world.

Sincerely, Tyler

No worries Tyler ;-)

Heh, don't worry, I think it's a known bug. But thanks for trying...

[jhreeves2001]

Yo Jamie ------ I just incorporated your code into my project and, as always, you're code worked perfectly.

Thanks again! Good luck against West Brom on Sunday. And it's going to be fun watching Shaun Wright-Phillips get event with his former club.

This was indeed a known bug. Should be fixed now.

As if he needs more karma points..

Jamie, you should donate some to others ;)

Didnt know you were a Arsenal fan :)

I'm crossing everything that we finish 3rd in the league.
