How to raise an "InvalidInputException" in a Custom listener

[Peter Sonntag]

I want to do an automatic validation check on some fields when creating/updating an issue.

I created an custom listener, selected the relevant projects and events.

However in this simplified script:

import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
throw new InvalidInputException("Input not valid")

crashes with the following error message:

2018-05-17 10:03:44,565 DEBUG [runner.WithPluginCompilationCustomiser]: Compile Script15.groovy, to node: Script15

Your listener is correctly throwing the exception. That is the error you see in the console.
