Issue While creating defect in JIRA using REST API .

[abhishek Pandey]

I have created C# application to create issue in JIRA using REST API . I am sending the request with data in URI but instead of getting the response key of created issue , i am getting HTML response to create issue in JIRA .

i Am using following code .

data = @"{ ""fields"": {

""project"":

{ ""key"": ""TSI"" }

,

""summary"": ""Test Ticket"",

""description"": ""Creating an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API"",

""issuetype"":

{ ""name"": ""1"" }

,

""assignee"":

{ ""name"": ""sajwagner"" }

,""reporter"":

{ ""name"": ""sajwagner"" }

}

}";

string postUrl = "https://jira-int.lufthansa.com/rest/api/2/";

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

client.BaseAddress = new System.Uri(postUrl);

byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(m_Username + ":" + m_Password);

//byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("sajwagner:Lh2013");

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(cred));

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

System.Net.Http.Formatting.MediaTypeFormatter jsonFormatter = new System.Net.Http.Formatting.JsonMediaTypeFormatter();

//System.Net.Http.HttpContent content = new System.Net.Http.ObjectContent<Issue>(data, jsonFormatter);

var content = new StringContent(data, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

//HttpContent content = new ObjectContent<string>(data, jsonFormatter);

HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync("/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=11080&issuetype=1&summary=Test Ticket&description=Creating an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API&reporter=sajwagner&assignee=sajwagner", content).Result;

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)

{ string result = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result; Console.WriteLine(result); }

hello Cedric ,

Issue is sorted now . It was syntax error in DATA field . It should be like ..

data = @"{""fields"":{""project"":{""key"":""TSI""},""summary"":""REST EXAMPLE"",""description"":""Creating an issue via REST API"",""issuetype"":{""name"":""Bug""},""assignee"":{""name"":""sajwagner""},""reporter"":{""name"":""sajwagner""}}}";

Now issue is being created by my application . :):)

If you keep posting your comments as answers, you’re going to confuse people. If you’re directly responding an answer, make it a comment, not a new answer.

i am getting response

"Bad Request"

[CEDRIC ZABEL]

That’s just part of the response from the server. When you’re debugging client-server interactions, you should examine the entire contents of the responses. That includes the body, which in this case should tell you more about the problems you are having.

Take a look at the body of the response, and see if it tells you anything.

If i use following code ..

data = @"{""fields"":{""project"":{""key"":""TSI""},""summary"":{""name"":""REST EXAMPLE""},""description"":{""name"":""Creating an issue via REST API""},""issuetype"":{""name"":""Bug""},""assignee"":{""name"":""sajwagner""},""reporter"":{""name"":""sajwagner""}}}";

string postUrl = "https://jira-int.lufthansa.com/rest/api/2/";

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

client.BaseAddress = new System.Uri(postUrl);

byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(m_Username + ":" + m_Password);

//byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("sajwagner:Lh2013");

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(cred));

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

System.Net.Http.Formatting.MediaTypeFormatter jsonFormatter = new System.Net.Http.Formatting.JsonMediaTypeFormatter();

//System.Net.Http.HttpContent content = new System.Net.Http.ObjectContent<Issue>(data, jsonFormatter);

var content = new StringContent(data, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

//var content = new StringContent(data);

//HttpContent content = new ObjectContent<string>(data, jsonFormatter);

//HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync("secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=11080&issuetype=1&summary=Test Ticket&description=Creating an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API&reporter=sajwagner&assignee=sajwagner", content).Result;

HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync("issue", content).Result;

// HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync("/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta", content).Result;

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)

{

string result = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

i am getting error too

[CEDRIC ZABEL]

Well, what error are you getting?

[CEDRIC ZABEL]

No, you’re confused here. You’re mixing up URLs for the REST API and for the human-visible HTML user interface.

The “/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa” comes from an URL used if you are creating an issue doing the pointy-clicky thing from your web browser.

If you want to use the REST API to create an issue, you need to POST data (formatted as a JSON-string) to “/rest/api/2/issue”. You wouldn’t encode data in as parameters in the URL.
