cURL command not working in ScriptRunner post function

Peter_0srn06

We are currently trying to use ScriptRunner to execute a workflow transition on a remote JIRA instance via a post function and are running into some interesting issues.  Basically, we have a custom workflows on two JIRA instances (say A and .  When we execute a specific workflow transition on an issue in A, we want to also execute a workflow transition on a remotely linked issue in B.

I have attached the script we are using.  It starts off by declaring parameters that are going to be used in the remainder of the script.  It then grabs all remote issue links for the current issue, and for each one of them, calls the executeTransition function.  That function will grab all transitions for the remote issue using the JIRA REST API, find the appropriate transition, and then make a POST call to the JIRA REST API to execute the workflow transition.

Here is the API call https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#api/2/issue-doTransition.  We also use cURL in order to accomplish this (I haven't found a better way of making POST requests using the native groovy language).

Here's the issue we are running into: the script works everywhere EXCEPT in JIRA instance A.  I have a local copy of JIRA and the script works just fine there.  We even made a dummy field that would spit out the cURL commands generated by the script (specifically the one in line 63), then tried executing those commands in command line on a local machine AND in bash on the server that hosts JIRA instance A.  The cURL command generated by the script works in both cases, it just doesn't work when we call curl.execute() (line 64) in the script.

We're not sure why it's working only outside of that specific instance of JIRA and were wondering if you have any clue as to what could be causing this.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

I don't know... I would have guessed an SSL cert problem but if works from bash it should work from jira.

Did you try both curl commands including with the data that's it's supposed to send?

Capture the curl output with curl.execute().text, then log that. You might need to check the docs for the execute method to see if stdout and stderr goes to different places. curl -v may help too.

Another way is to install Fiddler, then tell curl to use a proxy which is the machine you install fiddler on, port 8888. Then you will see clearly what the issue is. But unless you can use http, not https, you have to dick around with certificates so you can effectively do a man-in-the-middle attack.
