I am trying to create an issue using JRJC but unable to create issue as exception is thrown, help me

[Santosh Penjarla]

I am able to retrieve the issues already available using the issueKey but I want to create the issue,here is the function I used :

public String createIssue(String projectKey, String issueSummary) {
    IssueRestClient issueClient = this.jiraRestClient.getIssueClient();
    IssueInput newIssue = new IssueInputBuilder(projectKey,1L,issueSummary).build();
    Promise<BasicIssue> pIssue = null;
    try{
        pIssue=  issueClient.createIssue(newIssue);
    }
    catch(Exception e){}
    return pIssue.claim().getKey();
}

output :
com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.RestClientException: valid issue type is required

ArrayList<IssueType> issueTypes = Lists.newArrayList(jiraClient.jiraRestClient.getMetadataClient().getIssueTypes().claim());

for ( IssueType issue : issueTypes){
    System.out.println("Issue Name : " + issue.getName() + " , Issue ID : " + issue.getId());
}

The error message is pretty clear - you've not given it a valid issue type to create.

[Santosh Penjarla]

Yes, I tried to get the valid values of the issue types but unable to find them 

can you suggest me some way to get valid values for all the issue types ?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Use the "create meta" call to get a list of values - see https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-example-discovering-meta-data-for-creating-issues-6291669/  (I don't use the JRJC, so I don't know if it supports it.  I found it just gets in the way of me using the API properly)

This forum software often adds crud to the end of urls - remove everything from the first % onwards and try again.

ArrayList<IssueType> issueTypes = Lists.newArrayList(jiraClient.jiraRestClient.getMetadataClient().getIssueTypes().claim());

for ( IssueType issue : issueTypes){
    System.out.println("Issue Name : " + issue.getName() + " , Issue ID : " + issue.getId());
}

 above provided code can be used to retrieve all the issues created in your
