      If I have a workflow Validator set on a transition, and then try to bulk-transition issues through this transition, and if the validator fails, then:

      • The issue is not transitioned
      • No indication of this is given to the user
      • An error from the validator is logged

      For instance, given the following validator on the standard workflow:

              <action id="005" view="resolveissue" name="Resolve Issue">
                  ....
                  <validators>
                      <validator type="class">
                          <arg name="class.name">com.atlassian.jira.workflow.validator.TestValidator</arg>
                      </validator>
                  </validators>
      
      package com.atlassian.jira.workflow.validator;
      
      import com.opensymphony.workflow.Validator;
      import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException;
      import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowException;
      import com.opensymphony.module.propertyset.PropertySet;
      
      import java.util.Map;
      
      public class TestValidator implements Validator
      {
          public void validate(Map map, Map map1, PropertySet propertySet) throws InvalidInputException, WorkflowException
          {
              System.out.println("Validator called");
              throw new InvalidInputException("TestValidator failed");
          }
      }
      

      when bulk resolving an open issue, the following appears in the logs:

      Validator called
      2006-04-06 18:47:51,493 ERROR [atlassian.jira.workflow.SimpleWorkflowManager] An exception occurred

      and the issue is not transitioned.
