Jira Rest API reindex FOREGROUND working in BACKGROUND

[Cyrille T.]

Hello,

why (with Jira Core Server 7.1.4), when I use type = FOREGROUND

curl -D- -k -u <user>:<password> -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" --data "{\"type\":\"FOREGROUND\"}" https://localhost:9004/rest/api/2/reindex

reindex working in BACKGROUND ?

{"progressUrl":"/secure/admin/jira/IndexProgress.jspa?taskId=36624"
 ,"currentProgress":0
 ,"type":"BACKGROUND"
 ,"submittedTime":"2018-12-04T21:03:12.248+0100"
 ,"success":false
}

In log :

Tank you by advance for your response.

I don't think that the foreground / background option is meant to be passed as a data payload to that particular REST endpoint.  Instead this is something you can call as a request parameter in the URL endpoint itself.  Try adjusting your curl to look like this:

curl -D- -k -u <user>:<password> -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" https://localhost:9004/rest/api/2/reindex?type=FOREGROUND

I hope this helps.
