Good day,

 

 So what I'm trying to accomplish is the ability to pass a dynamic query such as:

python staticquery.py project = "TTS" AND assignee="Bob"

To my python script I created and search the above query to get static query. It works if I input it manually in the code, but I want to be able to type it in the command line so I don't have to edit the script every time.

Current Script:

for issue in jira.search_issues("TTS" AND assignee="Bob", maxResults=3):

print('{}: {}'.format(issue.key, issue.fields.summary,))

 

This works fine, as is but would be useful if I could input argument where the query is. I'm also looking for a way to direct the output into a file when ran. So the results of the static query would go into a file and if possible be labeled after date it was created. I'd appreciate any help and see if anyone can come up with ideas.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to the community

Create a .txt file (with your JQL inside) that your python script will read. You will only need to update the .txt file and no your script.
