Multiline comment on pull request via API 2.0

Chris Smith_hpwbod

I am trying to post a comment that includes newlines to a pull request using https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/resource/repositories/%7Busername%7D/%7Brepo_slug%7D/pullrequests/%7Bpull_request_id%7D/comments

My request body looks like this:

{"content":{"raw":"Report\nTotal Files Examined: 20\nLooks Good!"}}

I would expect the UI comment to look like this:

Report
Total Files Examined: 20
Looks Good!

The request is accepted, but the output in the pull request looks like this:

Report Total Files Examined: 20 Looks Good!

If I open the HTML of the PR page, I see the following:

<p>Report
Total Files Examined: 20 
Looks Good!</p>

I believe what is happening is that the raw content is always being pasted into the <p> tags, but what *should* happen is every newline is converted into a new <p> tag.

I have also tried using \\n and <br>, \\n turns into this in the UI

Report\nTotal Files Examined: 20\nLooks Good!

and <br> turns into this:

Report<br>Total Files Examined: 20<br>Looks Good!

Is there any way around this? I need to UI to respect the line breaks somehow.

I discovered I can send using markdown and am using " \n" (space and newline) to make line breaks, this creates the multilines as I want.

###Report \nTotal Files Examined: 20 \nLooks Good!

becomes

REPORT

Total Files Examined: 20
Looks Good!

How did you get this to work? I'm trying to send markdown and it's not working. I tried specifying that it is markup and this results in an error:

test.sh "This is a test\nthis is only a test\n\`here is some code\`"

{"content":{"raw":"This is a test\nthis is only a test\n`here is some code`","markup":"markdown"}}

{"type": "error", "error": {"fields": {"content.markup": "extra keys not allowed"}, "message": "Bad request"}}

@[deleted]The API docs seem to be incorrect (though they're correct for the UI API).

I sent as raw without a markup parameter and as I said above with a space character before the newline.

So in your case:

{"content":{"raw":"This is a test\nthis is only a test\n`here is some code`","markup":"markdown"}}

becomes

{"content":{"raw":"This is a test \nthis is only a test \n`here is some code`"}}

That should work

I tried that (space before newline) and it didn't make a difference.

It worked for me, you can also try this

var bodyData = JSON.stringify({

"body": {

"content": [

{

"content": [

{

"text": "Please join my remote session at:\n",

"type": "text"

{

"type": "text",

"text": "https://join.gotoresolve.com/" + pinCode + "\n",

"marks": [

{

"type": "link",

"attrs": {

"href": "https://join.gotoresolve.com/" + pinCode

}

]

{

"text": "Support Key: " + getSplitText(pinCode),

"type": "text"

}

"type": "paragraph"

}

"type": "doc",

"version": 1

}

});
