Jira REST file attachment

[swapnildhoke]

I am trying to attach a file to Jira Issue via Rest. I have placed the header as 'X-Atlassian-Token:nocheck'

But I am not able to get the correct structure of xml to attach the file.

It gives me a HTTP 500 error.

Any help?

Found the solution from Jason to resolve a similar question I had.

https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/powershell-invoke-restmethod-uploading-new-attachment-to-jira-ticket/6184/3

For all the other googlers out there that may research this in the future, this is how I got this to work for me after editing the code from Jason.

THANKS! You're the man Jason.

function Upload-JiraCSV($jiraTicket, $filepath)
{
    $wc = new-object System.Net.WebClient
    $wc.Headers.Add("Authorization", $headers.Authorization)
    $wc.Headers.Add("X-Atlassian-Token", "nocheck") 
    $wc.UploadFile("$URIPath/issue/$jiraTicket/attachments", $filepath)
}

This is how we do it from PowerShell

function Jira-UploadFile($jiraTicket, $filepath)
{
    $wc = new-object System.Net.WebClient
    $wc.Headers.Add("Authorization", $Global:JIRA_HEADER.Authorization)
    $wc.Headers.Add("X-Atlassian-Token", "nocheck") 
    $wc.UploadFile("$Global:JIRA_BASE_URL/rest/api/latest/issue/$jiraTicket/attachments", $(Resolve-Path $filepath)) > $null
}

Hi Jason, is the $filepath local to the JIRA server? or can it be from a remote server where the script is running? the reason I ask, is because I tried your function, but is giving me "Network Path not found" How are you passing the path? I use "D:\something.html"

[Jason Monsorno]

No, the file is on whatever server. The WebClient will put its content into a POST method request. I already have in the script the Resolve-Path which will make relative paths absolute. $Global:JIRA_BASE_URL need to be set to your jira instance with a protocol header, ex: "http://myjira:1234";. The $Global:JIRA_HEADER.Authorization is the Base64 of username:password like all the authorized API calls need.
