I want part in except block to be executed if error faced in try block, error is raised if customfield_10005 has incorrect value, so i purposely set wrong value for customfile_10005 but again except block is not executed, what's wrong with this code ?

<span>customfile_10005 </span><span>is</span><span> JIRA </span><span>Epic</span><span> ID </span><span>and</span><span> i want </span><span>not</span><span> to raise errors </span><span>if</span><span> that ID </span><span>is</span><span> wrong:</span>

<span>except JIRAError as e:<br>   print ("some errors")<br></span>

Instead of  "some errors" i specified, i'm getting default error message

<span>b'{"errorMessages":["Issue can be assigned only active or future sprints."],"errors":{}}''</span>

I used response output to create "error handler" (because exception block doesn't work), if in response output there is string errorMessages, run "exception block"

headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
data = {"fields":{"project":{"key":"CP"},"issuetype":{"name":"Task"},"reporter":{"name":reporter},"assignee":{"name":reporter},
"summary":"Pre-Sales - Placeholder - 1/5 {this_month} - {reporter}".format(**locals()),
"description":"descriptions",
"customfield_10107":{"id":"10400"},
"customfield_11300":{"value":"Engineering"},
"customfield_11301":{"value":"York"},
"customfield_10005":200}}
 response = requests.post('https://jira.company.com/rest/api/latest/issue/', data = json.dumps(data),auth=('user', password), headers= headers)
print(response.content)
out = response.content
if b'errorMessages' in out:
   headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
   data = {"fields":{"project":{"key":"CP"},"issuetype":   {"name":"Task"},"reporter":{"name":reporter},"assignee":{"name":reporter},
   "summary":"Pre-Sales - Placeholder - 1/5 {this_month} - {reporter}".format(**locals()),
   "description":description",
   "customfield_10107":{"id":"10400"},
   "customfield_11300":{"value":"Engineering"},
   "customfield_11301":{"value":"York"}
    }}
   response = requests.post('https://jira.company.com/rest/api/latest/issue/', data = json.dumps(data),auth=('user', password), headers= headers)
  print (response.content)
