How do I programmatically remove JIRA attachments?

[Rudepeklo]

Hello,

is it possible to programmatically remove existing JIRA attachments?

I am developing JIRA plugin that will process incoming emails and create or update issues in JIRA. Part of this process is adding attachments that come with these emails. When these attachments change, I would like to update those files in JIRA too.

Right now, I am only able to create new attachment using MessageHandlerContext but not remove or replace existing one.

thank you in advance for any advice.

Did you try using ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager() ?

Thank you both for quick answer.

The class AttachmentManager is exactly what I was looking for, I don't know how I could miss it. Thanks a lot.

you can delete by using deleteAttachment(Attachment attachment) from AttachmentManager

check this

https://developer.atlassian.com/static/javadoc/jira/5.0.5/reference/com/atlassian/jira/issue/AttachmentManager.html#deleteAttachment(com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.Attachment)

Thank you, that did the trick.

Andrew,

The resource is in there, docs are available here: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#d2e1451

JIRA may answer with a 405 code, for the unsupported request method. This resource expect HTTP DELETE method.

Cheers,

Who said anything about delete?

How exactly do you do  ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager() in Perl?

@Ignat Alexeyenko, that REST call appears to be for 6.0.5. I do not see anything like it in 6.3.9 (https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#d2e2396). Was functionality removed? In fact, attempting to use http://jiraserver/rest/api/2/attachment?<id> yields a 405 method not allowed for me.

Hello, Karel.

One way to do it - via REST call https://developer.atlassian.com/static/rest/jira/6.0.5.html#idp2008896
