Sending email using gmail smtp with groovy script fails

Sending email using gmail smtp with groovy script fails

Hi everybody,

i'm using groovyrunner for sending an email without using the default JIRA smtp server.

I'm using the script as a post function in close workflow transition.

I have performed some tests and the script works fine when the host of my smtp mail server is Google Apps.

But when i use a custom smtp host my script doesn't work.

The script i use is the following

import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.mail.*
import javax.activation.*
import javax.mail.Multipart;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.Attachment;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean;
import com.atlassian.jira.util.AttachmentUtils;
import groovy.text.GStringTemplateEngine;


//Get Comment Manager
CommentManager commentManager = componentManager.getCommentManager();

//Get custom field manager
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();



//Get custom field email by id
CustomField customField_email = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject( 10205 );


//get value of customField_email
to = issue.getCustomFieldValue( customField_email )


//Email Headers
sender="test@gmail.com"
sendername="Test Test"

//Email acccount credentials
username="test@gmail.com"
password="test"


//Gmail Default port
port = 465

//Email Body
content = """\
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
test
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
"""

//Creat first part of email, Email Body


Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart("mixed");

MimeBodyPart htmlPart = new MimeBodyPart();
htmlPart.setContent(content.toString(), "text/html");
mp.addBodyPart(htmlPart);




//Email Properties

props = new Properties()
props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
props.put("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");


//New session

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(sender,sendername));
message.setSubject("${issue.getKey()}");
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
message.setContent(mp)

try{
		Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
		transport.connect( "smtp.gmail.com",port,username,password );
		transport.sendMessage(message,message.getAllRecipients());
		transport.close();
		log.warn ("mail sent sucesfully to : "+ issue.getCustomFieldValue( customField_email).toString())
		

}catch (MessagingException mex) {
         mex.printStackTrace();
}

When i choose the transition that scipt should executed i get no errors in logs but the following warning on screen

After that issue is like in no status. I have to reindex if i want to perform any workflow action on it.

Email is not sent.

Any idea what may cause the problem?

Cheers,

Kostas

Finally it works. There is nothing to do with the default outgoing mail server.

I have changed the port and mail properties and i have restarted JIRA.

If i use the port "465" email is not sent. If i use port "25" works fine.

The script i'm using is the following:

import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.mail.*
import javax.activation.*
import javax.mail.Multipart;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.Attachment;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean;
import com.atlassian.jira.util.AttachmentUtils;
import groovy.text.GStringTemplateEngine;


//Get Comment Manager
CommentManager commentManager = componentManager.getCommentManager();

//Get custom field manager
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();


//Get custom field email by id
CustomField customField_email = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject( 10205 );


//get value of customField_email
to = issue.getCustomFieldValue( customField_email )


//Email Headers
sender="test@gmail.com"
sendername="Test Test"


//Email acccount credentials
username="test@gmail.com"
password="password"

//Gmail Default port
port = 25

//Email Body
content = """\
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
test
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
"""

//Creat first part of email, Email Body


Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart("mixed");

MimeBodyPart htmlPart = new MimeBodyPart();
htmlPart.setContent(content.toString(), "text/html");
mp.addBodyPart(htmlPart);




//Create attachment list

List attachmentIds = []


//Get change items during transition
List changeItems = transientVars["changeItems"]



//Get attachements
changeItems.each {ChangeItemBean cib -&gt;
                        if (cib.getField() == "Attachment" &amp;&amp; cib.getTo()) {
                            attachmentIds.add(cib.getTo())
                        }
}


//Create attachments email part
attachmentIds.each {attachmentId -&gt;
                Attachment attachment = issue.attachments.find {Attachment attachment -&gt;
                    attachment.id == new Long(attachmentId)
					
                }
				
				//File attFile = AttachmentUtils.getAttachmentFile(attachment)
				File attFile = AttachmentUtils.getAttachmentFile(attachment)
				
				
				
                //Create Second Part of Email, Attachments
				MimeBodyPart attPart = new MimeBodyPart()
                FileDataSource attFds = new FileDataSource(attFile)
                attPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(attFds))
                attPart.setFileName(attachment.filename)
                
				//log.debug("Attaching ${attachment.filename} to mail")
                mp.addBodyPart(attPart)
				log.warn ("Attaching ${attachment.filename} to mail")
}


//Email Properties

props = new Properties()
props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
props.put("mail.smtp.quitwait", "false");
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");


//New session

Session session = Session.getInstance(props,
		  new javax.mail.Authenticator() {
			protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
				return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);
			}
		  });

MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(sender,sendername));
message.setSubject("${issue.getKey()}");
//message.setContent(content.toString(), "text/html");
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
message.setContent(mp)

try{
		Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");

Hi Kostas - is there any chance I could get you to post your pom file? I'm having trouble getting a script to run that uses external dependencies. I suspect I'm doing something silly and I would like a basis for comparison. If you could share any information about any files beyond the script (and where you put them) that would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks!

Hey Jason,

to be honest i haven't used any other dependencies apart from the ones by default included in JIRA and in scriptrunner.

Just saw your question that you have problem with dependencies. From some tests i have done with rest i had the same problems.

I have used the following in my script for getting results from a rest call

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;

it seems to work. I didn't have the time to test it a lot but you can give it a try.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

The script above seems to use gmail, but you're saying that does work? And it only does not work when using some other smtp server?

Anyway, there must be something in the logs. Your .printStackTrace will print the stack trace to the console, which might go to catalina.out or something.

Use
log.error ("some error", ex)

to make it go to the jira logs.

Could well be that you need to import the smtp server SSL cert or something... the logs will tell you.

Thanx for the help.
