create project version url

[Angelo Diego Crabolu]

Can I use powershell to "call" an url on jira to create a version for a project?

[Angelo Diego Crabolu · Accepted solution]

here is a powershell cmd to do that

[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
  [Parameter(Mandatory=$True, Position=1)]
  [string]$project,
  [Parameter(Mandatory=$True, Position=2)]
  [string]$newVersionName,
  [Parameter(Mandatory=$True, Position=3)]
  [string]$newVersionDesc
 )

function ConvertTo-Base64($string) {
   $bytes  = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($string);
   $encoded = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes);

   return $encoded;
}

function Get-HttpBasicHeader([string]$username, [string]$password, $Headers = @{})
{
 	$b64 = ConvertTo-Base64 "$($username):$($Password)"
	$Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic $b64"
	return $Headers
}

$restapiuri = "http://yourserver/rest/api/2/"
$headers = Get-HttpBasicHeader "yourusername" "yourpass"

function CreateVersion
{
    $jsonReponse = Invoke-RestMethod -uri ($restapiuri +"project/"+$project+"/versions") -Headers $headers -Method Get -ContentType "application/json"
    #create new version
    $body = ('{"name": "' + $newVersionName +'", "description": "'+ $newVersionDesc+'",  "project": "' + $project +'"}')
    Invoke-RestMethod -uri ($restapiuri +"version/") -Headers $headers -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body
}

You can use JIRA Command Line Interface, specifically addVersion action.
