Update Checker

As major releases of Atlassian products can result in some methods, classes, and fields being removed, your scripts can fail if you use these and haven't changed the code. However, it is generally the case that you have an opportunity to change your code as these changes are deprecated for at least one major release cycle before they are removed.

In this release, for Jira 9.0.0 and Bitbucket 8.0.0, we will display a warning for the methods, classes, and fields that have been removed in a previous major version, as shown below:

However, not all deprecations are relevant as they are not always removed. If this is the case then they are marked as a warning but without the additional pending removal warning.

Performance Improvements

This release contains some significant improvements to the compilation and execution of scripts.

This builds on some of the work done in  SRPLAT-1925 - Thread Deadlocks in Concurrently Running ScriptRunner scripts DONE to prevent deadlocks and benchmark key parts of the ScriptRunner codebase.

This change should be invisible to 90% of users, except perhaps as an improvement in the speed and reliability of ScriptRunner, which could improve the performance of Bitbucket overall. 

A key component of this change was increasing the minimum recompilation time for scripts from Groovy’s default 100 milliseconds to 1 second. Again, this change should be practically invisible, but if you’re 6 shots of espresso deep in a script debugging session, you’re live-tailing your log files, and you’re not seeing the changes you made to a script take effect instantaneously, we advise that you take one deep breath and check again before filing a bug report. 😉

While this is not the complete solution for SRPLAT-1922 - Slow Disk Access for Script Roots can lead to stuck thread errors under high load IN PROGRESS , users affected by that issue may notice a marginal performance improvement due to reducing needless access to their servers’ filesystem. We are still exploring further improvements for the problems introduced by slow disks, and so that ticket remains open.

Bug Fixes

6.53.0

There are only core component changes in ScriptRunner for Bitbucket 6.53.0, so we do not have any new features or bug fixes to report.

6.52.0

Bitbucket Server 8.0 Compatibility

This release is now compatible with Bitbucket Server 8.0.

For more details please refer to Upgrade to Bitbucket Server 8.0.

Remote Event Listeners Functionality Removed

Remote Event Listeners were deprecated with the 6.42.0 release. If you still require the functionality provided by the Remote Event listeners, a similar outcome can be achieved using a REST Endpoint on the target instance communicating via app links or remote control.

A New Editor 

We've replaced our in-app editor component with Monaco, the same editor that powers Visual Studio Code.

Importantly, this gives us a platform for future improvements. However, there are immediate benefits to this release: you get inline documentation (press Control+Space when completions are open), hover over methods and classes to see documentation, see completions automatically as you type, find and replace, and more. Read more about Monaco by following the link above.

Empowering Atlassian administrators to write code, however simple, is at the heart of what we do. We hope the new editor makes you more productive and you enjoy using it! Let us know what you think.

New Features

Dynamic Forms

Introducing Dynamic Forms, a feature to simplify the process of editing variables in your ScriptRunner Groovy scripts. Dynamic Forms allow you to create complex scripts with flexible variables that can be shared with multiple users, allowing one script to be used for various use cases, reducing maintenance requirements while allowing for script customization. For more information see our documentation.

Bug Fixes

Remote Event Listeners are now Deprecated

As of ScriptRunner 6.42.0 we have deprecated Remote Event listeners. This is due to low usage and high maintenance costs. If you still require the functionality provided by the Remote Event listeners, a similar outcome can be achieved using a REST Endpoint on the target instance communicating via app links or remote control.

Unicode Bidirectional Override Characters Vulnerability

Recently, Atlassian highlighted a security vulnerability where special characters (unicode bidirectional override characters) were not rendered or displayed in the affected applications (CVE-2021-42574). This vulnerability could affect ScriptRunner if a user were to copy malicious code from an untrusted source and execute it within ScriptRunner. To mitigate this risk, we have added highlighting for bidirectional characters everywhere in ScriptRunner you can enter code. For more information please take a look at our blog post.

6.27.0

API Changes for Custom Canned Hooks

6.27.0 contains a change to how hook triggers are defined for custom canned hooks. Customers implementing the following interfaces need to make a small code change for their hooks to continue working in 6.27.0:

• com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.bitbucket.hooks.scripts.PreRepositoryHookScript
• com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.bitbucket.hooks.scripts.PostRepositoryHookScript

If your custom script implements one of the above interfaces, you are now required to implement a new method com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.bitbucket.hooks.scripts.TriggerAware#getApplicableTriggers which must return all com.atlassian.bitbucket.hook.repository.RepositoryHookTrigger triggers which your hook should execute for.

Due to the above change, the triggers field has also been removed from com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.bitbucket.hooks.model.AbstractHookCommand, therefore triggers defined in the script parameters using com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.HookParameters#getHiddenTriggersParam are now ignored. Your triggers must now be defined in the new method mentioned above.

Hooks, Listeners, and Merge Checks for Project Administrators

This release adds the ability for project administrators to configure ScriptRunner hooks, listeners and merge checks within projects that they administer (SRBITB-434).

In the past, the above capability was only available to repository administrators and global Bitbucket administrators, which meant that only a global administrator could configure a feature for a specific project and all child repositories. If a project administrator wanted to apply a script to all of the repositories in their project, they would have had to configure the script individually on each repository, meaning that a configuration could not be shared across all repositories in the project.

Project administrators now have access to the same scripts available to repository administrators, and are able to configure them in projects they administer (including all child repositories).

Bug Fixes

• SRPLAT-1364 - Script Editor failed to open files with national characters created on 6.11.0.

• SRBITB-880 - PullRequestCommentEvent#getComment is permitted at the repository level.

6.13.0

Bug Fixes

• SRPLAT-1345 - Audit logging was added for Settings changes.

• SRBITB-893 - A Condition field was added to the Project and Repository Naming Standards Enforcement listener.

• SRBITB-892 - A Condition field was added to the Branch and Tag Naming Standards Enforcement pre-receive hook.

• SRBITB-884 - A Condition field was added to Enforce Trusted Commit Authors pre-receive hook.

• SRBITB-896 - The Sync New option for mirroring wasn’t correctly deserialised.

• SRBITB-881 - The Switch to a Different User built-in script was not auditing the correct author.

6.12.0

Audit Logging Enhancements

This release includes enhancements to audit logging for users who are running Bitbucket 7.

The most notable change is that audit entries now show individual changed/created configuration parameters, in the past the audit entry only contained a JSON representation of the changed/created parameters, which was difficult to read.

In addition to the above, audit entries from ScriptRunner are now in their own audit category, this means you can filter the audit entries to only show entries generated from ScriptRunner.

New Features

• SRBITB-861 - Added support for new auditing API.

Bug Fixes

• SRPLAT-1221 - Bitbucket/Confluence/Jira is no longer prevented from correctly shutting down when ScriptRunner is installed.

6.11.0

Bug Fixes

• SRPLAT-1319 - Custom scripts returning String from getHelpUrl() did not work.

• SRPLAT-1313 - Script configurations can now be saved with a blank inline script.

• SRBITB-863 - A NoClassDefFoundError occured when iterating rawCommits in script binding.

6.10.0

Ceasing Development on Bitbucket 5

We are no longer developing new features for ScriptRunner versions running on Bitbucket 5. See our Bitbucket 5 Development statement for more information.

Bug Fixes

• SRBITB-853 - Calls to mergeRequest#veto in merge check conditions were ignored.

• SRBITB-852 - The Console and Script Editor left menu items were visible even when a user lacked script edit permissions.

• SRBITB-850 - The Listeners link in the Getting Started page redirected to an old URL.

• SRBITB-774 - To avoid missing information, use /users/:username/repos endpoint for GitHub mirroring.

• SRBITB-841 - Changeset#getChanges is now allowed in repo-level scripts.

• SRBITB-858 - The configured triggers for pre-hooks were not checked, which caused some pre-hooks to execute when they should not have.

6.9.2

Repository Administrator Sandbox Escape Vulnerability

SRBITB-854 - A security vulnerability for escaping the repository administrator code sandbox has been fixed.

The vulnerability allowed a malicious repository administrator to run arbitrary code inside the instance.

This security vulnerability has been fixed in ScriptRunner for Bitbucket 6.5.2 (for Bitbucket Server 5.13+) and 6.9.2 (for Bitbucket Server 6+); it is recommended all customers upgrade to 6.5.2+ where possible.

Bug Fixes

• SRBITB-853 - Calls to mergeRequest#veto in merge check conditions were ignored.

6.9.0

Bug Fixes

• SRBITB-836 - The compilation of the Clone Repository Configuration built-in script significantly slowed downloading scripts.

6.7.0

Retiring Support for Internet Explorer

From Feburary 1st 2021 ScriptRunner will no longer support Internet Explorer. See our full statement for more information.

Browse Page

Use the Browse Page to search and discover ScriptRunner functionality.

Find scripts with ease by typing keywords into the search bar, or by filtering by category.

See more information in the documentation.

Script Renaming

As part of the Browse Page work above, some scripts have been renamed so that their names are clearer and more closely align with their functionality.

See below for all changes to script names:

Bug Fixes

• SRBITB-827 - The Include Ref Prefix toggle was missing from the Naming Standard Enforcement Hook.

6.6.0

Asynchronous Post-Hooks

In prior versions of ScriptRunner, all post-hooks executed synchronously. This meant that some post-hook triggers, such as those for UI interaction, would not trigger ScriptRunner post-hooks. Synchronous execution can also have a performance impact to end-users because it caused pushes to be blocked until all post-hooks had completed execution.

This release adds support for asynchronous execution in custom scripted post-hooks. This is an opt-in setting because there are some differences in what is possible when executing asynchronously. For example, it is not possible to write messages to the Git Client on push when executing asynchronously.

For more information, see the asynchronous post-hooks documentation.

Admin Only Project and Repository Script Access

By default, repository and project administrators have the ability to configure/execute ScriptRunner scripts (although in a sandboxed environment, for security reasons).

Restricting access in ScriptRunner may be desirable in a highly regulated environment where a customer only wants global administrators to be able to configure hooks/listeners etc.

This release adds a toggle in the Settings tab to restrict ScriptRunner access at the repository/project level to global administrators only. Optionally, groups of users can be granted access, if desired.

For more information, see the Admin Only Project and Repository Script Access documentation.

System Admin Only Script Edit Permission

By default, global administrators have full access to ScriptRunner functionality, including writing custom code within scripts and executing code in the Script Console.

You may want to restrict the ability to configure/execute custom code to system administrators only.

This release adds a toggle to the Settings tab to enable script edit permission for system administrators only. When this toggle is enabled, only system administrators are able to configure scripts that allow custom code. Access to Script Console/Script Editor for non-system administrators is also prevented.

For more information, see the System Admin Only Script Edit Permission documentation.

Ability to Disable Switch User Built-in Script

The Switch User built-in script allows administrator users to temporarily assume the identity of another user.

This script is enabled by default. However, if you have extremely strong compliance requirements, you may wish to disable this feature.

This release adds a toggle to the Settings tab to disable the Switch User built-in script. When the script is disabled, it is not accessible for any user (including system administrators).

For more information, see the Disable Switch User Built-in Script documentation.

Bug Fixes

• SRPLAT-1227 - Some documentation links were missing from scripts.

• SRBITB-814 - SendCustomEmailListener broke after selecting an event for the repository admin.

• SRBITB-767 - The compile context for scripted merge checks did not match the runtime execution bindings.

6.5.2

Repository Administrator Sandbox Escape Vulnerability

• SRBITB-854 - A security vulnerability for escaping the repository administrator code sandbox has been fixed.

The vulnerability allowed a malicious repository administrator to run arbitrary code inside the instance.

This security vulnerability has been fixed in ScriptRunner for Bitbucket 6.5.2 (for Bitbucket Server 5.13+) and 6.9.2 (for Bitbucket Server 6+); it is recommended all customers upgrade to 6.5.2+ where possible.

6.5.1

Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

• SRBITB-816 - A security vulnerabilty for Remote Code Execution has been fixed.

The vulnerability allowed a malicious authenticated user to run arbitrary code inside the instance without administrative permissions.

This security vulnerability has been fixed in ScriptRunner for Bitbucket 6.5.1 / 6.5.1-p5; it is recommended all customers upgrade to 6.5.1+ where possible.

Updates

Groovy Upgrade

The version of Groovy used by ScriptRunner has been upgraded from 2.4.15 to 2.5.11. Improvements and new features (like additional AST transformations, or the new tap() method) shipped in Groovy 2.5 are now available to ScriptRunner users. See the Groovy 2.5 Release Notes for more information.

As with any dependency upgrade, breaking changes could potentially affect users' scripts. However, the breaking changes between Groovy 2.4 and 2.5 are relatively minor. The low-level nature of most of these breaking changes means they are unlikely to impact many ScriptRunner scripts if any.

Take a look at the list of breaking changes in the Groovy 2.5 Release Notes for further details.

IntelliJ Removal

This version removes all support for the IntelliJ IDEA plugin. See our previous deprecation announcement for our rationale and plans for the future.

Deprecated Event Handler Removal

The previously deprecated Naming Standard Enforcement event handler has been removed along with its configuration in this release.

If you were previously using this event handler, you should migrate to the pre-receive hook of the same name. This hook blocks UI interactions in the same way that the event handler did.

Execution History

Use Execution History to view up to two years of execution times and failure rates of ScriptRunner scripts in your instance, allowing a long-term view of script performance.

Using the extended history, observe if a script is getting slower over time, or if slow performance correlates with specific events (such as Bitbucket or app upgrades). Execution History provides long-term analytics allowing you to develop scripts and change execution timings, to keep your instance performing at an optimal level.

Previously, viewable executions included event handlers and scheduled jobs.

Viewable executions now include pre-hooks, post-hooks, event handlers, and merge checks.

See Execution History documentation here.

Bug Fixes

• SRPLAT-1092 - There is now DocLink support for absolute URLs.

• SRPLAT-1084 - The autocompletion window of the Script Console now closes correctly.

• SRBITB-718 - Jira query validation prevented the issue keys hook from working if the invoking user lacked permissions.

• SRBITB-684 - Require Valid Jira Issue merge check/pre-hook was updated to check Jira issue keys case insensitively.

• SRBITB-724 - Execution history was added for repository-level pre-hooks, post-hooks, merge checks, and event listeners.

• SRBITB-691 - The BranchAndTagNamingRuleEnforcer event handler was removed.

• SRBITB-635 - Execution history was added for administration-level pre-hooks, post-hooks, merge checks, and event listeners.

• SRBITB-633 - Auditing of built-in script execution was added.

• SRBITB-731 - You are now allowed to configure event handlers to respond to any implementation of RepositoryRefsChangedEvent.
