How can I pass parameters to a scriptrunner script executed remotely through a CURL?

[Ricardo Martinez]

As stated here:
https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/4.2.0.2/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_executing_built_in_scripts_remotely

To execute a file that already exists under a script root:

> curl -u admin:admin -X POST "http://<jira>/jira/rest/scriptrunner/latest/user/exec/" -H "X-Atlassian-token: no-check" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8" -H "Accept: application/json" --data-urlencode "scriptFile=foo/bar.groovy"

I can already execute a script fine, but now I need to send a parameter, through curl to my script. And how can i receive and read it in my script?

I cant seem to find a way to do it.

This is equivalent to pasting the content on foo/bar.groovy into the console and hitting run.

The only way to pass parameters to such a script is to use the "dynamic form" feature

Looking at browser network call when you hit run, you can see that the payload includes 2 elements. A "parameters" json and the script string or scriptPath.

I haven't tried with curl, but you can try something like this

curl -u admin:admin -X POST "http://<jira>/jira/rest/scriptrunner/latest/user/exec/" 
-H "X-Atlassian-token: no-check" 
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8" 
-H "Accept: application/json" 
--data-urlencode "scriptFile=foo/bar.groovy" 
--data-urlencode 'parameters={\"param1\":\"value\"}'

Not sure I have the right escaping.

I'm not a curl wizard, so maybe you can pass --data-urlencode "scriptfile=..." and some other type in the same command.

Alternatively, you could have your script file be dynamically pre-loaded with your variables.

I have the following in a shell script I use to automatically port prod data to my test instance:

folderName="TEST"

groovy=$(cat <<-EOM 2>&1
   import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

   def mailFetchers = ComponentAccessor.serviceManager.getServices().findAll{it.serviceClass == 'com.atlassian.jira.service.services.mail.MailFetcherService'}
   mailFetchers.collect{mailFetcher->
      def folderName='$folder'
      mailFetcher.properties.setString('foldername', folderName)
      "Set foldername for mailFetcher.name to '\$folderName'"
   }
EOM
)

result_code=$(echo "$groovy"| curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -u "$user":"$password" 
   -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/scriptrunner/latest/user/exec/" 
   -H "X-Atlassian-token: no-check" 
   -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8" 
   -H "Accept: application/json" 
   --data-urlencode "scriptText@-")
if [[ "$result_code" == "200" ]];then
   echo " Mail Handler update successful"
else 
   echo " Mail Handler update was not successful. Review mail handler folders in the application"
fi

Hi;

Thanks, what you said gave me the clue on how to get the curl call with the correct parameters.

The call is similar to what you were saying.

curl 'https://[jira]/rest/scriptrunner/latest/user/exec/' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'X-Atlassian-token: no-check' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-u user:pswd \
--data-raw '{"script":null,"scriptPath":"testscript.groovy","parameters":{"valueToAdd":"10"}}'

That should do the trick.

Thanks a lot.
