Unable to create ticket via JiraPS - Invoke-JiraMethod: Issue Does Not Exist

[James Underdown]

Hi,

After a recent upgrade to our development environment, I can no longer create tickets via powershell using JiraPS.

I'm still able within our production environment fine, however when I attempt to create the ticket via "New-JiraIssue", I get an error: "Invoke-JiraMethod: Issue Does Not Exist"

However the issue does exist under the project...

I don't think it's permissions as I can query and retrieve data using the Get-JiraIssue query command with no issue.

Any ideas/ suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

James

I ran into this, it appears to be related to Jira changing the API in version 9. See the open issue below on the JiraPS github:

https://github.com/AtlassianPS/JiraPS/issues/461

I stumbled upon this from search, so figured I'd post this to help others.

Edit: Looks like Jira 8.4 introduced this change, so even if you used Invoke-RestMethod some code change will be required:
https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/#creating-an-issue-examples

For anyone arriving here via google:

$pair = "${username}:${password}"
$bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair)
$base64 = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes)
$headers = @{ Authorization = "Basic $base64" }

$body = @{
fields = @{
project = @{
key = "ProjectKeyHere"
}
issuetype = @{
name = "Task" 
}
summary = "Test Issue via API"
}
}
# Convert the body to JSON format
$body = $body | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod -uri "https://ServerURLHere/rest/api/2/issue" -Method Post -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body

You can also modify the JiraPS file as shown here:

Hello @James Underdown 

This is the risk you take with using third party libraries.

Switch to using PowerShell's native Invoke-RestMethod.  It does mean a bit more coding work on your part, but it always works.

@David Bakkers  have you figured this issue? Can you share you code on how to create issue. Thanks

@Rodolfo So I ended up having to use invoke-restmethod, I updated my post above with a code example.
