Jira + Python : Issue while categorize the issues based on issue type.

[Sunesh M S]

Hi All,

The below highlighted conditions are not working as expected. 

for Issue in jira.search_issues('project=YKP and assignee='+ Assignee +
' and status not in ("Done", "Released", "Discarded") ORDER BY issuekey, issuetype'):
if (Issue.fields.issuetype == 'Epic'):
print(Issue.fields.issuetype)
print("---" + '{} | {} | {} | {}'.format(Issue.key,Issue.fields.issuetype, Issue.fields.summary, Issue.fields.status))
if (Issue.fields.issuetype=='Story'):
print(Issue.fields.issuetype)
print("---" + '{} | {} | {} | {}'.format(Issue.key, Issue.fields.issuetype, Issue.fields.summary, Issue.fields.status))

I have tried all the combinations like below,

if (Issue.fields.issuetype == 'Epic'):

if (Issue.fields.issuetype == "Epic"):

if (Issue.fields.issuetype in ['Epic']):

Could you please help me to sort out the issue?

Thanks in Advance,

Maadi.

Hello Sunesh,

The datatype of issuetype is 'class 'jira.resources.IssueType' and you value 'Epic' is string so you have to convert you  issuetype class into a string.

if str(i.fields.issuetype)=='Story':
    'your code'

Feel free to place print instructions like this 'print (type<your variable or anything else') to know the datatype and if you need to convert something.

Sorry for my english is not my native language

Hope it help
