Adding attachment through API

[ArtUrlWWW]

Hi.

I am trying to add attachment to the issue, but I got exception.

My code is

MutableIssue issueObject = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory().getIssue();
.....................
System.out.println("/tmp/" + docFile.getFILENAME());

										File tmpFile = new File("/tmp/" + docFile.getFILENAME());

										FileOutputStream fileOuputStream = new FileOutputStream(tmpFile);
										fileOuputStream.write(docFile.getBASE64FILE());
										fileOuputStream.close();

										HashMap<String, Object> attachmentProperties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
CreateAttachmentParamsBean ab = new CreateAttachmentParamsBean(tmpFile, docFile.getFILENAME(), "application/octet-stream", reporterApp, issueObject, false, false, attachmentProperties, new Date(), true);

										ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager().createAttachment(ab);

I got exception

[INFO] [talledLocalContainer]   ... 9 more

Folder /mnt/newDrive/atlassian/projects/plugin/target/jira/home/data/attachments exists and has 777 permissions (write for all).

I trying to get default path to the attachment. For this I called

System.out.println("+++ " + ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentPathManager().getAttachmentPath());

It's returns /mnt/newDrive/atlassian/projects/plugin/target/jira/home/data/attachments

After that, I trying to change default path to the attachments dir:

ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentPathManager().setCustomAttachmentPath("/tmp");

It doesn't help.

But if I add attachment throught Jira web interface (in Create Issue form, Add attachment field) - than attachment adds very well and path for attachment will be something like /mnt/newDrive/atlassian/projects/plugin/target/jira/home/data/attachments/SITE/SITE-3 or /tmp/SITE/SITE-4 (after changing default path to the attachments dir.)

I have found two issues https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-28412 and https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-19873with analog question.

Please advice, how to add attachments to the issues with Jira API?

Sorry my bad English.

Best regards, Arthur Khusnutdinov.

Maybe this can help you

private ChangeItemBean createAttachment(FileItemStream item, MutableIssue issue, ApplicationUser user)
    {
    	try
    	{
	    	final File tempFile = File.createTempFile("attachment"+new Date().getTime(), null);
	        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
	        IOUtils.copy(item.openStream(), out);
	        
	        AttachmentManager attachmentManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager();
	
	        
	        CreateAttachmentParamsBean bean = new CreateAttachmentParamsBean.Builder(tempFile, 
	        																 item.getName(),
	        																 item.getContentType(),
	        																 user, 
	        																 issue).build();
	        
			return attachmentManager.createAttachment(bean);
    	}
    	catch (Exception e)
    	{
    		return null;
    	}

Thank you very much! After issue creation with

Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().createIssueObject(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUser("admin"), issueObject);

attachments added OK with your code

CreateAttachmentParamsBean bean = new CreateAttachmentParamsBean.Builder(tmpFile, tmpFile.getName(), "application/octet-stream", reporterApp, issue).build();
										ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager().createAttachment(bean);

Thank you very much!

Your first line does not create a persistent issue (it will not be saved to the database):

MutableIssue issueObject = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory().getIssue();

Afaik, attachments can only be added to existing issues. Try saving the issue first (if you really want to create a new issue), and add the attachments to the created issue object afterwards.

OK, I changed code to

..................
Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().createIssueObject(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUser("admin"), issueObject);
((IssueIndexManager) ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexManager.class)).reIndex(issue);
...............
System.out.println("/tmp/" + docFile.getFILENAME());
File tmpFile = new File("/tmp/" + docFile.getFILENAME());

FileOutputStream fileOuputStream = new FileOutputStream(tmpFile);
fileOuputStream.write(docFile.getBASE64FILE());
fileOuputStream.close();

 HashMap<String, Object> attachmentProperties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
 System.out.println("+++ " + ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentPathManager().getAttachmentPath());

 CreateAttachmentParamsBean ab = new CreateAttachmentParamsBean(tmpFile, docFile.getFILENAME(), "application/octet-stream", reporterApp, issueObject, false, false, attachmentProperties, new Date(), false);
 ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager().createAttachment(ab);

And after that I got exception

This is very strange error... How I can fix this error?
