problems with execute simple jython script in jira

Question

I have jira and i try to execute on workflow jython script. I have successfully added them on step (in my case "starting") and save. But after that I got the error when i clicked on this button in jira:

root cause: Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/jss/jython/__init_interpreter__.py", line 6, in <module> codecs.setDefaultEncoding('utf-8') 
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding 'utf-8' 
It seems that you have tried to perform an illegal workflow operation. If you think this message is wrong, please contact your JIRA administrators.

Please help : there is init_interpreter.py :

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- 
import sys
if sys.getdefaultencoding() != 'utf-8': 
 from org.python.core import codecs 
 codecs.setDefaultEncoding('utf-8')
from com.quisapps.jira.plugin.workflow import JythonFileUtil 
path = JythonFileUtil.getInstance().getJythonPath() 
if path not in sys.path: 
 sys.path.append(path)
from com.quisapps.jira.jss.jython import JythonUtil 
path = JythonUtil.getJythonPath() 
if path not in sys.path: 
 sys.path.append(path)

and there is my new script that I try to execute :

summary = parameters['summary'][0]
if summary.find('OMG')=>0:
 result=False
 description = u'Ururu'
 invaild_fields['summary'] = description

I have tried "Reinstall everything" in Plugins - Scripting Suite section, but it's doesn't help.

Also if need, there is error in catalina.out

• tripleee: I'm not able to answer your question, but not doing that might be a good idea. setdefaultencoding is not recommended. stackoverflow.com/questions/28657010/…
