Python scripts to work for JIRA

[gayatrii]

Hi,

In JIRA at present for some validations, I wrote some JavaScripts under custom fields. But now I have a requirement that I need to replace all of them with python scripts. But I'm new to python. How can I connect to JIRA  through python ? How to run Python scripts from JIRA? 

Thanks in advance,

Saiibabu

Hi,

I solved the problem by using the Add-on Script runner in Jira. There I created a scripted field in Groovy and called the command prompt and run the python script from there. Here is a simple example of the script

def process = ['cmd', '/c', 'filepathToPython.exe', 'filepathToPythonFile.py'].execute()
process.waitfor()
return p.text
process?.err?.text can be used instead of process.text if one want to see eventual error messages.

is there no need to install python on prod server? i want to write a one python file like mypythonfile.py . where i need to place the file? How the file will run?

You may also try Jira Scripting Suite.
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.quisapps.jira.jss/server/overview
It allows you to execute custom Jython script to evaluate workflow conditions, perform validations and post functions. Script is evaluated in the context, which differs for each type of script (see sections below for details).Jython is a Python port to Java. Also go through http://quisapps.com/confluence/display/JSS/Scripting+Samples for some example scripts.
