ScriptRunner script for delivery precision

[Karl-König Königsson]

I have a need for a script that can return the difference in dates between the date an issue was due and the date it was resolved (the idea is to provide a measurement for delivery precision).

I have tried something like this:

def dueDate = issue.getDueDate();

def resolutionDate = issue.getResolutionDate();

if (resolutionDate == null) {

return null;

}

return resolutionDate - dueDate;

The problem is that the (resolutionDate == null) gives an error since there apparently is a problem with the equals operator and the ingoing types of operands.

Yet, the code shows what I am trying to accomplish and I have tried different implementations but they all tend to generate a nullPointerException. The problem is that this is all there is in the log or the preview so I am stumbling in the dark.

Please, does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Probably duedate is empty then, so lets check both due date and resolution date for null.

This works for me:

def dueDate = issue.getDueDate();

def resolutionDate = issue.getResolutionDate();
if (resolutionDate && dueDate) {
return resolutionDate - dueDate;

}

This did the trick; thank you!

Hi Karl!

Also there is a free of charge plugin - JIRA Misc Custom Fields

which allow to set calculated date fields. I have not tried it for now, but maybe it can help.

Have you tried this?

def dueDate = issue.getDueDate();

def resolutionDate = issue.getResolutionDate();

if (resolutionDate) {

    return resolutionDate - dueDate;

}

I tried this but I get java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method minus() on null object

Hi Karl,

The solution provided above by Filip is what you need to use ensuring you run this code as a scripted field on the issue.

I have attached a sample of how you can set this code as a scripted field in order to achieve your requirements.

I hope this helps.
