Fetch all epics using ruby-jira gem

Chinmaya Patanaik

I've been playing with Jira API via the `ruby-jira` gem. I have a task where I would like to list all the epics that belong to a user's account. My current solution is to get all the issues and return items with `issuetype` name set to `Epic`.

def list_epics

  epics = []

  begin
    all_issues = @Integration Team_client.Issue.all
    all_issues.each do |issue|
      epics << issue if issue.fields.issuetype.name == 'Epic
    end
  rescue JIRA::HTTPError
    puts "Jira API error"
  end
  epics
end

`@jira_client` represents an authenticated user account.

I couldn't find much information from the documentation page of `jira-ruby` project. So any help is appreciated.

Hello @Chinmaya Patanaik

Since your requirement is " I have a task where I would like to list all the epics that belong to a user's account."

Thus, in the ruby gem you can check if there is support for doing a JQL query (there must be)

The you can fire a JQL query like "type = epic and assignee = <user-account>" and thus the results from the call based on the above JQL should get you the results you want.
