Getting Error Constructing REST Message

[Rob Bushrod]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a REST webservice with a customer using JIRA. When I set up the Outbound webservice and enter the HTTP request and click test it is successful, taking the values of variable substitutions.

I have a business rule running to try and get these variables to complete dynamically based on the information in the ticket that was logged. When I check the logs I get the below message;

'EXCEPTION during ESPCollinson.prepareMessage(Request, post):
Error constructing REST Message/Method: Collinson - Request/post'

If i put this BR into background scripts then I get a larger error message;

'org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: Cannot read property "short_description" from null
Caused by error in script at line 5

2:
3: // Add your code here
4: var message = ESPCollinson.prepareMessage('Request', 'post');
==> 5: message.setStringParameterNoEscape('ShortDesc', current.short_description);
6: message.setStringParameterNoEscape('Description', ESPCollinson.jsonEscape(current.description));
7: gs.log('RB - Im here in Collinson REST New Incident');
8: })(current, previous);

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: Cannot read property "short_description" from null
Caused by error in script at line 1

==> 1: (function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
2:
3: // Add your code here
4: var message = ESPCollinson.prepareMessage('Request', 'post');'

My gs.log is printed in the script logs.

I have attached my HTTP request in the REST message and the script include I'm using as a helper (this is how it has been done in the past for other REST integrations).

Any help would be greatly received.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Robert,

Can you add try catch block to handle the exception?

the error says it is unable to find short_description on null object; so it means it is not able to know what current object is.
