Jira REST Java Client Exception since Mid February 2020

wwerner

We have several tools that do communicate with JIRA Software (CLOUD) via Java Rest API.

Since some days we cannot communicate any longer - several JIRA REST cals do fail in an (JIRA REST CLIENT) internal processing of the delivered results. 

E.G. a user name is no longer transferred (only display name). 

Any clues?

RestClientException{statusCode=Optional.absent(), errorCollections=[]}

I copied the class JsonParseUtil from jira-rest-java-client-core-5.1.6 and modified the function parsebasicUser to this:

@Nullable
public static BasicUser parseBasicUser(@Nullable final JSONObject json) throws JSONException {
if (json == null) {
return null;
    }

final String username = json.optString("name", null);
    if (!json.has(JsonParseUtil.SELF_ATTR) && "Anonymous".equals(username)) {
return null; // insane representation for unassigned user - JRADEV-4262
    }

// deleted user? BUG in REST API: JRA-30263
    final URI selfUri = optSelfUri(json, BasicUser.INCOMPLETE_URI);
    return new BasicUser(selfUri, username, json.optString("displayName", null));
}

With this, my program runs fine.
