Adding attachment in Jira Software through REST API always returns a 415

HI Community

 

In my forge application I am unable to add an attachment to an issue via Rest API.

Call within forge application returns 415 - unsupported media type

Call from standalone script works well

// call within my forge application alway returns in an 415 - unsupported media type

const response = await api.asUser().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}/attachments`, {
 method: 'POST',
 body : form,
 headers: {
 'Accept': 'application/json',
 'X-Atlassian-Token': 'no-check'
 }
});



// call from a standlone scritp works

let response = await fetch('https://rwai-test.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/TPD-178094/attachments', {
  method: 'POST',
  body : form,
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(EMAIL+':'+API_TOKEN).toString('base64')}`,
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'X-Atlassian-Token': 'no-check'
}});

finally found a way to make it work for me ... a little annoying that the examples from the official documentation do not work.

 

for me the following did work:

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', Buffer.from(xml, 'utf-8'), { filename: filename });

const response = await api.asUser().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}/attachments`, {
  method: 'POST',
  body : formData,
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'X-Atlassian-Token': 'no-check',
    'Content-Type': `multipart/form-data; boundary=${formData.getBoundary()}`,
  }
});
