Why jira rest client throws 'Issues must be assigned'?

BHUVANESWARI

Hi,

 I am trying to create an issue from 

AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory

This is my code

AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory factory = new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory();

JiraRestClient restClient = factory.create(jiraServerUri, auth);

IssueRestClient issueClient = restClient.getIssueClient();

IssueInputBuilder iib = new IssueInputBuilder();

iib.setProjectKey("PROD");

iib.setReporterName("xxxx");

iib.setSummary("test");

iib.setDescription("test describtion");

iib.setPriorityId(3L);

iib.setAssigneeName("xxx");

iib.setIssueTypeId(TASK);

 

IssueInput issue = iib.build();

 

BasicIssue issueObj = issueClient.createIssue(issue).claim();

issueId = issueObj.getKey();

Error:

RestClientException{statusCode=Optional.of(400), errorCollections=[ErrorCollection{status=400, errors={assignee=Issues must be assigned.}, errorMessages=[]}]}

 

Note: The assignee have permission to create an issue

this issue occurs recently (last 3 months). Before with the same set of code, created the issue.

@BHUVANESWARI  The problem here is Jira Cloud has stopped taking 'name' as input for user related field in API (due to GDPR) and the library you are using 'jira-rest-java-client' is not updated to handle this.

You will need to wait for this changes to appear in library.

 

Quick Note - This library as per documentation is meant to be used with Jira Server. I suggest you call rest API directly using client like unirest.
