How to send REST call(GET,POST) in jira workflow to external server

[TAMILSELVAN V]

Hi ,

I have a case where when transitioning from State Todo to In progress, I need to take a value of a field(e.g. ENV) and send a request(GET/POST) to server(e.g http://test:4000\). The server verify values and send a response(Success/Failure) message back to Jira.

Only when the message is success, the workflow should allow transition to move from Todo to In progress, else error message should display and stay in Same transition(i.e TODO).

Could you help me how to send a response(GET/POST) to server(http://test:4000\) and display message in JIRA?

Is it achievable through script in Workflow postfunction?

Please let me know the solution.

Regards,

Tamil

// Define Web API to post to
def baseURL = "http://test:8000/process";

// Establish Connection and post data

URL url = new URL(baseURL);
//URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
log.error("url="+url);

HttpURLConnection connection = url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection;
connection.requestMethod = "GET"
connection.doOutput = true
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8")
connection.outputStream
connection.outputStream.withWriter("UTF-8") { new StreamingJsonBuilder(it, jsonBody) }
connection.connect();
log.error("URL="+url+"Status="+connection.getResponseCode() as String)
log.error("status1"+connection.getResponseMessage())
println("getResponseMessage:" + connection.getResponseMessage())

Hello @TAMILSELVAN V 

Pretty sure it's doable, but I can't say I've tried it before.
