Creating a REST API client to resolve issues on JIRA from Gitlab?

[Conor Graham]

Hi there,

I am currently in the middle of creating a REST API webhook to resolve issues on JIRA.  The way it will work will be as follows:

• User commits to gitlab with a commit message.  
• The message will be parsed in the format : bug #135 resolved
• The webhook will then trigger to change the status of the issue.

Currently I have created the webhook, and I can receive back the JSON.  Although, I am unsure as to how I can resolve the JIRA issue.  I am aware of transition in the JIRA doc, but I am unsure as to how to use it.  Anyone help me at all?

Regards

Conor

Is the native functionality not enough for you? http://doc.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira.html#closing-jira-issues

Resolution is just a field in JIRA. Take a look at: https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/api-reference/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-edit-issues
