Validators silently break Bulk Transition

XMLWordPrintable

      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

	at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.validator.TestValidator.validate(TestValidator.java:17)

	at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

      and the issue is not transitioned.
