Atlassian CLI

[Jim Yanko]

I'm attempting to automate the creation of a fixversion and actually set the description field as well.

From reading the docs, it looks like I can only do this as a two step process by creating the version, and then updating the description of the existing version once it exists.

So i tried this. My method is...

1. obtain a login token,

2. create a fixversion

3. attempt update of fixversion description field

Step 2 succeeds, but Step 3 tells me a resource does not exist - oddly, it appears to be doing something with a os_username and os_password param?

$ LOGIN_TOKEN=$(./atlassian-cli/jira.sh --server http://jira.server --action login  -u $USER  -p $PASS)



$ ./atlassian-cli/jira.sh \

>     --server http://jira.server  \

>     --action addVersion  \

>     --login m3Z29oJj7Y  \

>     --project "DS"  \

>     --version "test-RB-9.9.9"   \

>     --date "12/31/12 02:30 PM"  \

>     -p xxx;

Version 'test-RB-9.9.9' with id 15470 added to project DS as the last version.



$ ./atlassian-cli/jira.sh \

>     --server http://jira.server \

>     --action updateVersion  \

>     --login m3Z29oJj7Y  \

>     --project "DS"  \

>     --version "test-RB-9.9.9"   \

>     --description "Test Release (9.9.9 - Test Description Field )"  \

>     -p xxx;



Remote error: Resource does not exist: http://jira.server/rest/api/latest/version/15470?os_username=automation&os_password=xxx</pre<>>




I've confirmed that I can create multiple versions in succession using the same token - so, something is awry with the updateVersion action somehow.  Is it on the server side or is it the api calls being constructed somewhere in /lib/jira-cli-2.2.0.jar ?

Better to open an issue on the JIRA Command Line Interface JIRA. Version support uses both SOAP and REST APIs to get things done, so its not ideal with the later only available for 4.2 and above. So login token will only work for the SOAP side of it.

Thanks Bob. I've opened an issue for this

Well, excuse the mess - I have NO IDEA - why text in a code block got expanded - that pretty much sucks.
