Unable to update multiple labels as an array for a test case via jiraEditIssue using Jenkins file

[Sudha]

I am using jiraEditIssue to update labels for a test case in JIRA, but the following error is thrown.

ERROR: {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"labels":"The label '[Label1, Label2]' contains spaces which is invalid."}}

Jenkins file uses groovy lang. In groovy on adding elements into a list, by default whitespaces are added between the elements of the list in groovy. On passing such a list in jiraEditIssue via Jenkins file, I notice jira has a problem in accepting whitespaces between the elements of an array/list.

Kindly let me know, how would I resolve the above mentioned issue.

Further details regarding the same are mentioned below

def labelValue = [] as String[]

/* Im fetching values from the code and adding them to the list

def label1 = "Label1"
def label2 = "Label2"
labelValue.add(label1.replaceAll(" ",""))

labelValue.add(label2.replaceAll(" ",""))

 

def testIssue = [fields:
[
 project: [key: "${projectKey}"],
 labels: ["${labelValue}"],
 issuetype: [id: '10413']
]
]
response = jiraEditIssue idOrKey: testCaseID, issue: testIssue, site: 'ALM_JIRA'

This is because you are converting a list to a string then making another list with that string as a single element.

Try 

def testIssue = [fields:
  [
     project: [key: "${projectKey}"],
     labels: labelValue,
     issuetype: [id: '10413']
  ] 
]
