Java Jira REST API connect problem

[Gabor Bernat]

Hello,

I try to use the JAVA JIRA client (https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/jira-rest-java-client), however I fail to create a connection.

I've used the migration code from here (https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JRJC/Migrating+from+JRJC+1.x+to+2.x), however at connection creation I get the following exception:

Here's where the error happens (there is no such file):

@Override
public String getVersion() {
 return MavenUtils.getVersion("com.atlassian.jira", "jira-rest-java-com.atlassian.jira.rest.client");
		}

Which results in the exception:

18:42:58.712 [main] DEBUG c.a.j.r.c.i.a.AsynchronousHttpClientFactory$MavenUtils - Could not find version for maven artifact com.atlassian.jira:jira-rest-java-com.atlassian.jira.rest.client

Any ideas, what am I missing?

If you need to stick to a release repo, then you can work around this JIRA bug by copying the source of this file to your project

/asdlc-app/src/main/java/com/atlassian/jira/rest/client/internal/async/AsynchronousHttpClientFactory.java

then edit

public String getVersion() {
   return MavenUtils.getVersion("com.atlassian.jira", "jira-rest-java-client-api");
}

May also want to increase the socket timeout for slow queries

public DisposableHttpClient createClient(final URI serverUri, final AuthenticationHandler authenticationHandler) {
    final HttpClientOptions options = new HttpClientOptions();
    options.setSocketTimeout(2, TimeUnit.MINUTES); // 2 mins timeout for slow jira queries

Thank you! Best solution i have seen thus far!

I created a ticket for it: JRJC-149

I don't think you're missing anything, but it's rather a bug. The second argument of the call should be the artifactId which is "jira-rest-java-client-core". So I think the code should look like:

@Override
public String getVersion() {
 return MavenUtils.getVersion("com.atlassian.jira", "jira-rest-java-client-core");
}
