Description
NOTE: This bug report is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding bug report.
Incorrect Exception message thrown, which misleads users.
Also see
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-3325
The Exception thrown when entering a permission related workflow step variable looks like following:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error parsing meta attribute <meta name='jira.permission.edit'>false</meta>. Name format is 'jira.permission.[subtasks].<permission>.[group|user|assignee|...]' [INFO] [talledLocalContainer] java.lang.RuntimeException: Error parsing meta attribute <meta name='jira.permission.edit'>false</meta>. Name format is 'jira.permission.[subtasks].<permission>.[group|user|assignee|...]' [INFO] [talledLocalContainer] at com.atlassian.jira.permission.WorkflowPermissionFactory.createWorkflowPermission(WorkflowPermissionFactory.java:81) [INFO] [talledLocalContainer] at com.atlassian.jira.permission.WorkflowPermissionFactory.getWorkflowPermissions(WorkflowPermissionFactory.java:41) [INFO] [talledLocalContainer] at com.atlassian.jira.security.WorkflowBasedPermissionManager.hasPermission(WorkflowBasedPermissionManager.java:75)
The user mistook the format (jira.permission.[subtasks].<permission>.[group|user|assignee|...]) for a pseudo regex, and thought subtask as well as the last part were optional, where only the subtask in fact is. According to the documentation
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Workflow+Properties
which links to
the correct format is 'jira.permission.[subtasks.]{permission}.{type}[.suffix]'
Please adapt the Exception message accordingly.
Scenario 2:
We have tested to add the workflow property and reproducible in JIRA 4.4.5, 5.0.7, 5.1.8 and 5.2.11:
- jira.permission.work = denied
It looks like the property is doing it's job, and the log work feature will be disable for that specific issue status.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to Administration > Workflows
- Edit the related workflow, and create a draft workflow if required
- Go to any of the workflow step (not transition!), open the property for that workflow step
- Add the following property:
jira.permission.work = denied
Finding:
Though the property seems to work, it looks like apparently we managed to reproduce the problem as well. In our test setup, the log work is disabled in the In Progress step due to the property, but when we try to resolve the issue, we get the following error:
