Jira CLI question -- how to download attachments for more than one issue?

Bryan Karsh

Hi,

I've been using the JIRA CLI tool (great kit by the way). I followed examples to download an attachment list of all issues from a search query like so:

./jira.sh --action runFromIssueList --filter FOO-test --common "--action getAttachmentList --outputFormat 2 --issue @issue@ --file list.csv --append"

I also followed an example to download attachment(s) for a single issue. For example:

./jira.sh --action runFromAttachmentList --issue "FOO-1036" --common "-a getAttachment --file \"target/output/jiraclirunner/@attachment@\" --name @attachmentId@ --issue FOO-1036"

.. this is great. But how do I download all attachments from an attachment list (that I get from my first search?)

You are doing good by breaking it down into working pieces. Now, you just need to combine them all and be careful with the quoting/escaping.

--action runFromIssueList --filter FOO-test --common "--action runFromAttachmentList --issue @issue@ --common \"--action getAttachment --issue @issue@ --file \"\"target/@attachment@\"\" \" "
