Symptoms

After editing an issue, the following error is displayed on the screen:
 

Saving of 'issue name' Failed!
Exception occurred: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com/opensymphony/user/EntityNotFoundException 

However, the changes made on the issue are saved.

Cause

This happens due to some changes made on User Is In group condition on the workflow. The classes that implement this condition changed from:

com.opensymphony.workflow.util.OSUserGroupCondition

To:

com.atlassian.jira.workflow.condition.UserInGroupCondition

And workflows that have this condition implemented with the first class cause the error message displayed on the screen. Also, deleting the content of instance's /work directory doesn't help on this case.

Resolution

  • Edit your workflows to remove the condition. Then, re-add the condition and publish the changes.
