Grrovy Scirpt to add user to Watcher List

[Pushparaj Bhaskaran]

HI,

Using the below script to add an user to watcher list using Script runner in the issue Create PostFunction

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager

ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
def watcherManager = componentManager.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = componentManager.getUserUtil()

def watchUsers = {usernames ->
usernames.each { def user=userManager.getUser(it) watcherManager.startWatching(user,issue.getGenericValue()) }
}

def users = ["X"]
watchUsers(users)

However, I find the below errors in my log file

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)
Caused by: javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: watcherManager for class: com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.ofbiz.OfBizUser

[Pushparaj Bhaskaran]

ANother clue is that this script works on the Script Console , but in the post script function it fails

Updated version for JIRA 7.1.4:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

 def watchUsers = {usernames ->
   usernames.each {
         def user = userManager.getUserByKey(it.toString())
         watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
      }
}

def users = ["user1", "user2"]
watchUsers(users)

 In Jira Server 7.3.0 shows a problem with that symbol '-' 

Can you tell me what changed? I want the same code to work for the new version of jira SD.

@Stefani Kaimakliotou were you able to solve that issue?  Thanks!

[Stefani Kaimakliotou]

We upgraded to server 7.5 and chose not to use the addition of the user to the watchers list. I found another way solving my case. Thanks a lot.
