can't add a watcher

[RuijunFan]

I tried to add a watcher to one JIRA issue, but anyway,  it returns "bad request".

I can update assignee, comment, labels, .... with the similar code below, only watcher got me.

Thanks in advance.

my code is as below:

public void updateJiraWatcher(string key,string watcherName)

var request = new RestRequest()

{

Method=Method.Post,

Resource = "/rest/api/2/issue/"+key+"/watchers",

RequestFormat= DatFormat.JSon

};

string jsonWatcher ="{\""+watcherName+"\"}";  // "{\"username\":\""+watcherName +"\"}; ** doesn't work too

request.AddParameter("application/json",jsonWatcher,ParameterType.RequestBody);

var response = GetRequestsResponse(request); 

}

Hello!  

I think that your syntax is slightly wrong for the watcherName.  Take a look at this Answer:

Thanks for reply.

To be honest, I have read Please Help! Got error 400 when trying to add watcher using REST API. lots of times, but no idea. sad.

Could you tell me exactly what is wrong with the syntax of WatcherName?

Thanks.
