Groovy script to create or update jira issue using rest api

[Ankita Sharma]

I need to write a groovy script in post function to create or update a jira issue using rest api

Please Help.

[Ankita Sharma]

Thanos, the script worked fine but when used in post function, it did not create any issue . Rather, i got error as "groovyx.net.http.HttpResponseException: Bad Request".

Can you please let me know if i need to do something else also, in order to create issues in this way?

Ankita, The link Vasiliy posted is really informative. You said it doesn't work for you ? Do you get any errors in your logs ?

But why? When you're running a script, you have access to your JIRA. It's far faster, easier, flexible and more efficient to create them in the script.

yes right, I have access to JIRA but want to create issues within JIRA using REST API (REST APIs available for JIRA; https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-create-issue) within a post function with groovy script. Later i will use REST API of some other applications.

I think Thanos is questioning the requirement. You already have direct access to the JIRA that your post-function is running in and do not need to use REST to talk to it. My guess is that you are writing code that updates another remote JIRA?

Thanos, i have to use rest api only. Please suggest me. Vasiliy, i have already checked this link. The code is not working for me within post function. Would it be possible for you to provide me with a very basic code?

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

Ankita, is there a particular reason you want to use the rest api ?

Vasiliy, I am new to this code but on using it, I am unable to resolve HTTPContext. Even though I am using correct import statements, but it is not working for me :(
