attempting to run Jira CLI but keep getting This function requires a non-blank value for parameter.

[Roger parkinson]

jira.bat file has --server http://localhost:8080.   If I rename jira.bat and attempt to run direct from command line the error is "server" can not be declared more than once

Hi Roger,

Sounds like the server flag is already set in the file itself.

Edwin,

thanks for the feedback.  problem is that using --server http://localhost:8080 in the jira.bat file results in the "This function requires a non-blank value for parameter server" error message returned.

error on my part that has been fixed.

Hi Roger,

Will you be able to tell me how do you fix?

Thanks,

Hi, @baz89103 - Amelie from the CLI team here :) 

You can update the jira.bat file as per below. (Please note that this depends on the Jira version you're using – my example below is for 7.1.0)

java -jar "%dirPath%"/lib/jira-cli-7.1.0.jar --server https://localhost:8080 --user xyz --password xxxxx %*

Once you make the above change in the jira.bat file, execute the below from the command prompt.

jira.bat --action getServerInfo

I'm not sure which version you're on, but I generally recommend you make sure you're using the latest version of the app and client ;)

Let me know if you have any additional questions
