How to Fix the Automation Creating a Confluence Page and 5 Tasks for Approved transition

[Deepak Rai]

I am working on setting up automation in Jira that will trigger after a transition is completed. The automation should create a Confluence page and generate 5 associated Jira tasks automatically. Has anyone implemented something similar or have suggestions on how to achieve this effectively?

My code Looks Likes this:

import groovy.json.JsonBuilder

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost

import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet

import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient

import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients

import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity

import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils

// Jira and Confluence Credentials

final String jiraBaseUrl = "Jira Base URL"

final String confluenceBaseUrl = "Confluence Base URL"

final String apiToken = "Token"

final String email = "Email id"

final String authString = "${email}:${apiToken}".bytes.encodeBase64().toString()

// Issue key for the current issue

final String issueKey = issue.key

// Helper function to make REST API calls

def callRestApi(String url, String method, Map body = null)

{ CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault() def request if (method == "POST")

{ request = new HttpPost(url) }

else if (method == "GET") { request = new HttpGet(url) }

else { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("HTTP method ${method} is not supported in this script.") }

request.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic "" ${authString}") request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json") if (body != null && method == "POST")

{ request.setEntity(new StringEntity(new JsonBuilder(body).toString())) } def response = client.execute(request) def responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.entity) client.close()

if (response.statusLine.statusCode < 200 || response.statusLine.statusCode >= 300)

{ throw new RuntimeException("Failed API call: ${response.statusLine.statusCode} - ${responseBody}") }

return new JsonSlurper().parseText(responseBody) } // Step 1: Get Issue Details from Jira

def issueDetailsUrl = "${jiraBaseUrl}/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}"

def issueDetailsResponse = callRestApi(issueDetailsUrl, "GET") def issueSummary = issueDetailsResponse.fields.summary def createConfluencePage(String folderTitle)

{

// Step 2: Create a Page in Confluence

def apiUrl = "${confluenceBaseUrl}/rest/api/content" def pageData = [ type: "page", title: folderTitle, ancestors: [[id: "123456"]], space: [key: "MYSPACE"], body: [ storage: [ value: "

Tasks for issue: ${issueKey}

", representation: "storage" ] ] ] return callRestApi(apiUrl, "POST", pageData) } def addTasksToPage(String pageId) { // Step 3: Add Tasks to the Page def tasks = [ "Initial Analysis", "Stakeholder Discussion", "Documentation Draft", "Review and Feedback", "Final Submission" ] def apiUrl = "${confluenceBaseUrl}/rest/api/content/${pageId}/child/comment" tasks.each { task -> def taskData = [ body: [ storage: [ value: "incomplete${task}", representation: "storage" ] ] ] callRestApi(apiUrl, "POST", taskData) } } // Execution try { def folderTitle = "Tasks for Issue ${issueKey} - ${issueSummary}" def pageResponse = createConfluencePage(folderTitle) addTasksToPage(pageResponse.id) log.info("Confluence folder and tasks created successfully for issue ${issueKey}.") } catch (Exception e) { log.error("Error creating Confluence folder and tasks: ${e.message}", e) }

Can anyone help me to fix the issue in code. Your response will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello @Deepak Rai 

How are you triggering this code?

Where does this code exist? Are you using a third party app added to Jira to contain this code?

What is the result of the code execution? 

[Deepak Rai]

Thank you Trudy for response. I am triggering this code via Jira Automation actions.

I do have script runner for Jira installed in my instance however I am calling via send web request action. Every time I am getting {confluenceBaseUrl}, {authString} not declared or some parathensis error.

Let me know if you need any further details.

Best Regards,

Deepak R.

[Trudy Claspill]

Thank you for that additional information.

Please show us screen images that show your entire rule, and images that show the details of each step in the rule.

Is there a particular reason you are doing this with scripting rather than using native Automation Rule actions for creating issues and Confluence pages?
