API curl in pipelines to create a pull request returns "Bad request"

[Chris Runo]

I have a custom pipeline which runs on a schedule to run some automated updates and then create a pull request with the branch that was created.

The update commands run, the branch gets created and pushed up, but the curl request I make with the Bitbucket API fails with "Bad request" and no other info.

Here is how I'm obtaining credentials and posting the API request:

BB_TOKEN=$(curl -s -S -f -X POST -u "${AUTOMATED_UPDATES_AUTH}" \
  https://bitbucket.org/site/oauth2/access_token \
  -d grant_type=client_credentials -d scopes="repository" | jq --raw-output '.access_token')
export BB_TOKEN

curl https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/"${BITBUCKET_REPO_OWNER}"/"${BITBUCKET_REPO_SLUG}"/pullrequests \
  -S -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${BB_TOKEN}" \
  -d '{
      "title": "'"${TITLE}"'"
      "description": "",
      "source": {
        "branch": {
          "name": "'"${NEW_BRANCH}"'"
        }
      },
      "destination": {
        "branch": {
          "name": "f2-main"
        }
      },
      "close_source_branch": true,
      "reviewers": '[]'
    }'

Here is the output:

Bad Request

[Theodora Boudale]

Hi Chris and welcome to the community!

There is a comma ( , ) missing after the entry for title in the data which I believe may be causing this error. I am referring to the following part of the data:

"title": "'"${TITLE}"'"
"description": "",

There is no comma after the value of the title, before the "description". Could you please add it, and let me know if the call succeeds then?

Kind regards,
Theodora
