ScriptRunner strange behavior

[Daniel Juravski]

Hi, 

I have field1 and fieild2 on my issue ticket.

I try to use the script runner to do a simple action that raises an error when the user edit field1 with value that higher then field2 with the next code:

if (getActionName() == null){ //check that we are on edit screen
 def field1 = getFieldByName("Paid Assets/Apps")
 def fieild2 = getFieldByName("Planned Assets/Apps")
 if (field1.getValue() < fieild2.getValue())
 {
 fieild2.setError("fieild1 can not be lower than fieild2")
 }
 else {
 fieild2.clearError()
 }
} 

Seems it works and the error raising - SOMETIMES.

When field1 = 100 field2 = 10 everything OK, but

when field1 = 100 field2 = 20 (or each another number without any consistent) the ERROR raised without any reason (field1 > field2 as it should)

I get crazy from that unexplained BUG. 

Hope for help ! :)

Hello,

What are the field types?

You can add logging to see the class of the returned values. Maybe it returns String or something like this:

if (getActionName() == null){ //check that we are on edit screen
 def field1 = getFieldByName("Paid Assets/Apps")
 def fieild2 = getFieldByName("Planned Assets/Apps")
 log.error("field1.getValue(): ${field1.getValue().getClass()}")
 log.error("field2.getValue(): ${field2.getValue().getClass()}")
 if (field1.getValue() < fieild2.getValue())
 {
 fieild2.setError("fieild1 can not be lower than fieild2")
 }
 else {
 fieild2.clearError()
 }
}

Hi,

They're both 'Number Field'

[Daniel Juravski]

You were right, the value that I get from those are 'String'
Thank you !

Did you find the class of each variable in the log file?

[Alexey Matveev]

You are welcome!

Yes, they were String class, I had to parse them to Int for comparing.

@Daniel Juravski how did you parse the string value to Int in script runner behaviors?
