How to check workflows that uses particular add-on in validators

[Alvin]

Hello Community,

Good day! Can someone help me on how can I retrieve workflows that uses a specific plugin/add-on in validators. I'm using this code via Scriptrunner Console but the problem is that it does not display validators, only postfunction is displayed.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.JiraWorkflow
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowManager
import java.util.regex.Matcher

String searchText = 'descriptor of add-on'

WorkflowManager workflowManager = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowManager()
Collection<JiraWorkflow> workflows = workflowManager.getWorkflows()

String result = "Workflow;Function;Type;Action;Source-Step<br>"

workflows.each{workflow ->
    def workflowXml = workflow.descriptor.asXML()
    Matcher m = workflowXml =~ /${searchText}/
    if (m.find()) {
        String workflow_name = "${workflow.name}${if(!workflow.isActive()){"(inactive)"} else ''}${if(workflow.isDraftWorkflow()){"(draft)"} else ''}"
        def wf = new XmlParser().parseText(workflowXml)
        List<Node> wf_flat = wf.depthFirst()
        wf_flat.each{
            if (it.text() ==~ /.*${searchText}.*/){
                def nodeInfo = getNodeInfo(it,searchText)
                if (nodeInfo){
                    result += "$workflow_name;$nodeInfo<br>"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
result

String getNodeInfo(Node n, String search) {
    String nodetext = ''
    def valid_action = false
    def valid_function = false
    def valid_step = false
    if (n.name() == 'function') {
        def m = n.value() =~ /[^\[{]*/ + search + /[^\]}]*/
        if (m) {
            nodetext += m[0].toString() + ";"
        }
        def p = n.parent()
        while (p) {
            switch (p.name()) {
                case 'post-functions':
                    valid_function = true
                    nodetext += "post-function;"; break
                case 'validators':
                    valid_function = true
                    nodetext += "validator;"; break
                case 'conditions':
                    valid_function = true
                    nodetext += "condition;"; break
                case 'action':
                    valid_action = true
                    nodetext += "${p.attribute('name')} (${p.attribute('id')});"; break
                case 'step':
                    valid_step = true
                    nodetext += "${p.attribute('name')} (${p.attribute('id')})"; break
                case 'global-actions':
                    valid_step = true
                    nodetext += "GLOBAL"; break
                case 'initial-actions':
                    valid_step = true
                    nodetext += "INITIAL"; break
            }
            p = p.parent()
        }
    }
    if (valid_action && valid_function && valid_step) {
        return nodetext
    } else {
        return ""
    }
}

Thank you!

Hi @Alvin 

I came across this wonderful free plugin from Botron - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219634/power-admin?hosting=server&tab=overview 

Using this, we can analyze usage of a custom field or workflow validator, postfunction, condition given by plugins in the jira instance. see https://botronsoft.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PA/pages/883195908/Finding+App+Usage for the details. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Fazila Ashraf ,

Good day! Thank you for your response, I can clearly say that your suggestion helped us a lot! Furthermore, I also need to know to focus especially on the workflow part, the script above returns the steps on the workflow that is using a particular add-on , but for some reasons, only post-function add-ons are only displayed. Can you help? I also need to display Validators.

Best  Regards,

Alvin

Hi @Alvin 

For me, the power admin plugin gives the workflows which uses the plugin element as validators also.

And as per the documentation inhttps://botronsoft.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PA/pages/883195908/Finding+App+Usage#FindingAppUsage-Usage validators are also reported.

Could you raise a support case with them if its not working for you like that?
