Criteria ' ' is not supported here
Error message
Criteria '${criteriaText}' is not supported here What it means
CommitQuery.parse walks the parsed criteria and rejects the 'Authored by me' criterion when the query is parsed without current-user context (withCurrentUserCriteria == false), throwing ExplicitException 'Criteria <text> is not supported here'. Some contexts (e.g. queries evaluated for other users or scheduled jobs) cannot resolve 'me', so the criterion is disallowed.
Solutions
- Replace 'Authored by me' with an explicit author name/value, e.g. author("login").
- Parse the query with withCurrentUserCriteria=true if the evaluation context does have a current user.
- Catch ExplicitException to return a clear message that the criterion is unsupported in this context.
Example fix
// before CommitQuery.parse(project, "authored by me", false); // after CommitQuery.parse(project, "author(\"john\")", false);
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Validate before calling
if (withCurrentUserCriteria == false && queryString.matches("(?i).*authored\\s+by\\s+me.*"))
throw new IllegalArgumentException("'Authored by me' needs a current-user context"); Try / catch
try {
return CommitQuery.parse(project, q, false);
} catch (ExplicitException e) {
if (e.getMessage().contains("not supported here"))
throw new UserFriendlyException("Replace 'me' criteria with explicit values in this context");
throw e;
} Prevention
- Use explicit author names in shared/scheduled queries, never 'me'
- Only pass withCurrentUserCriteria=true when a valid user session exists
- Document which query contexts resolve current-user criteria
When it happens
Trigger: Parsing a commit query containing 'Authored by me' (AuthoredByMe token) while CommitQuery.parse is called with withCurrentUserCriteria=false — e.g. in contexts with no security context / impersonation available.
Common situations: Using 'Authored by me' in a commit query evaluated server-side outside a user session (webhook, scheduled report); embedding the query in a setting where current user is undefined; copy-pasting a personal query into a shared context.
Understand the failure class
Background: UnsupportedOperationException and "is not supported" errors: when a library deliberately refuses a call — this error's family across 30 libraries.
