Automated indexing Jira 6.2

[Julian Bonkamp]

At jira 6.2 i get:

Creating connection to [https://**********************/]... 
 
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at reindex_test.pl line 34 (#1)
 
    (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
 
    defined.  It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
 
    To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
 
     
 
    To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you
 
    the name of the variable (if any) that was undefined.  In some cases
 
    it cannot do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the
 
    undefined value in.  Note, however, that perl optimizes your program
 
    anid the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear
 
    literally in your program.  For example, "that $foo" is usually
 
    optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the
 
    concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in
 
    your program.
 
     
 
Uncaught exception from user code:
 
        Could not login to jira, verify username and password!

it works :) thank you!

[Julian Bonkamp]

i changed it to

if ( substr($line,0,15) eq "Die Neuindizierung ist zu") {

but it does not work..

[Jason Hensler]

The 15 needs to be changed to 26 within that line and you need a space after "zu", should look like this:

if ( substr($line,0,26) eq "Die Neuindizierung ist zu ") {

The reason for this is I am checking only the characters 0 to 26 to be equal to "Die Neuindizierung ist zu ".

You also need to change these lines:

print ("Reindex is at ".substr($line,15,3)."\n");
                        if(substr($line,15,3) eq "100") {

To:

print ("Reindex is at ".substr($line,26,3)."\n");
if(substr($line,26,3) eq "100") {

[Julian Bonkamp]

in the out.html it looks like:

div class="pb_section">
                    <span>

                        Bearbeitung läuft: Issue Index:

                    Die Neuindizierung ist zu 33% abgeschlossen.
                    </span>
               </div>

[Julian Bonkamp]

the script don't stops automatically. Is it possible? We want to trigger it every day via an automizer.

[Jason Hensler]

The script is looking for the string: "Re-indexing is 100%" before it "finishes". If you're Jira is running an non-English (us) language page then this string might need to be changed on line 59. You could also change line 56 to my$finished= 0;, this will cause the script to finish before jira does.

i get 404:

$VAR1 = bless( {

'_msg' => 'Not Found'

But the URL should be correct. our Jira listens not on /jira/ it works under https://<SERVER>/jira-one-test/

[Julian Bonkamp]

my fault... :( our testsystem has no SSL ^^ only http... now it works

[Julian Bonkamp]

it works with "print"

[Julian Bonkamp]

I am a perl newbie :(

i added it like this:

#do login
$status = $ua->post($jira_url.'secure/admin/IndexAdmin.jspa', [ 'os_username'   => $user, 'os_password'  => $pass]);
echo(Dumper($status));
if($status->header

i get error:

Undefined subroutine &main::echo called at reindex_test.pl line 34 (#1)
    (F) The subroutine indicated hasn't been defined, or if it was, it has
    since been undefined.
    
Uncaught exception from user code:
        Undefined subroutine &main::echo called at reindex_test.pl line 34.

[Jason Hensler]

opps, sorry I've made a mistake (been working on a lot of php latley). The code should be:

print(Dumper($status));
$status = $ua->post($jira_url.'secure/admin/IndexAdmin.jspa', [ 'os_username'   => $user, 'os_password'  => $pass]);

@Julian Bonkamp

You had your question in the right place the first time. Looks like it's not happy with:
if($status->header('X-Seraph-LoginReason') eq "AUTHENTICATED_FAILED"

Check to make sure that your jira $jira_url is correct, should be https://jira_server/jira. The "/jira/" at the end is important and the url must end in "/". If that does not fix it, add the line of code before the if statment:
echo(Dumper($status));

This will output the entire content of the $status httpd call. You will get raw http resonse data but, it should show any error messages or headers that the server is returning.
