Create Issue with attachment?

[Christoph Huber]

Hi.

Its no problem to create new issues using the rest api and curl.

But now i would like to attach an image file. Is that possible with "rest/api/2/issue/" or do i have to use the "/rest/api/2/attachment/" statement?

atm my array looks like that:

'fields' => array(
                'project' => array(
                    'key' => $key,
                ),
                'summary' => $summaryText,
                'description' => $text,
                "issuetype" => array(
                    "self" => "xxxx",
                    "id" => "3",
                    "description" => "xxxx",
                    "iconUrl" => "xxxx",
                    "name" => "xxx",
                    "subtask" => false
                ),
                'attachment' => array(
                    'content' =>'xxx'
                ),
            ),
        );

there i get this error:

{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"attachment":"Field does not support update 'attachment'"}}

so the attachment field is not supported or what does this error mean?

Maybe 'm wrong but I think it doesn't work unless you use CURL command. I have tried from .NET application and from node.js without success.

However using CURL from the command line it works fine. Here is the sample posted on Atlassian documentation

curl -D- -u admin:admin -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -F "file=@myfile.txt" http://myhost/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-123/attachments

You would have to create an issue, grab the issuekey then attach the attachment using /rest/api/2/issue/issuekey/attachments

[ssraghavan]

I m not sure, if the above question is closed, as I still see the state as open, here is what you have to do,

https://<your_server>/rest/api/latest/issue/<jira_id>/attachments

authorization:

username:api_token

header:

Content-Type:multipart/form-data
X-Atlassian-Token: no-check

body:

use form-data

file =file path

it works like charm

[David Benton]

rename($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$attachment = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$attachment_type =$_FILES["file"]["type"];
$attachment_size= ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024);
$attachment_name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$json = `curl --silent -D- -u $username:$password -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -F "file=@$attachment" http://oranization.com/jira/rest/api/2/issue/$ticket_ID/attachments`;<br< a="">>

Hi Mohamad,

I have updated your code a bit to rename the file. This works for me on PHP version 5.4.12

<?php
    $username = 'xxx';
    $password = 'xxx';
 
    $url = 'http://xxx/rest/api/latest/issue/TEST-1/attachments';
    $fileLocation = 'Full/path/to/file';
    $fileName = 'desired_filename'
     
    $data = array('file'=>"@{$fileLocation};filename={$fileName}");
    $headers = array(
        'X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck'
    );
 
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
 
    $result = curl_exec($curl);
    $ch_error = curl_error($curl);
      
    if ($ch_error) {
      
        echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";
    } else {
      
        echo $result;
    }
     
    curl_close($curl);
?>

I have PHP version 5.4.25 and following the code provided by you, but still unable to upload the attachment. See the output / result below.

For your information, I have no problem creating new issue or add comment to the issue via the REST API.

*****

The requested URL could not be retrieved

Invalid Request error was encountered while trying to process the request:

POST /jira/rest/api/latest/issue/ZZCP-27/attachments HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxx
Host: jira.xxxxxxxxxx.com
Accept: */*
X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck
Content-Length: 781032
Expect: 100-continue
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----------------------------3405abbf3503

Some possible problems are:

Missing or unknown request method.

Missing URL.

Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0).

Request is too large.

Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests.

Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed.

HTTP/1.1 "Expect:" feature is being asked from an HTTP/1.0 software.

Hey Nicholas, Could you upload your code.

[Mohamad bin Subakin]

This approach works for me.. but the file name in the jira shows as the full path..

<?php

	$username = 'xxx';
	$password = 'xxx';

	$url = 'http://xxx/rest/api/latest/issue/TEST-1/attachments';
	
	$data = array("file" => "@C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/xxxn.png");;
	
	$headers = array(
    //'Accept: application/json',
    //'Content-Type: application/json',
	'X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck'
	);

	$curl = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

	$result = curl_exec($curl);
 
	$ch_error = curl_error($curl);
	 
	 
	 
	if ($ch_error) {
	 
		echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";
	} else {
	 
		echo $result;
	}
	
	curl_close($curl);
	
?>

Hi Chistopher did you find the answer to your last problem. I have run into same one. If you have please help me.

[MB]

Try using REST API Browser implemented in your JIRA: http://yourJiraServer/plugins/servlet/restbrowser

It will make your life easier if you need to debug your REST calls :)

[Christoph Huber]

oki it works now ;)

one question left.

Is it possible to upload files from a different folder or have they be in the same folder as the script is?

now it is:

$data = array(
"file" => $filename);

this works fine, as long my file is in the same folder.

but i would like to get the files from a different folder.

for example something like this:

$data = array(
"file" => $path . $filename);

This attaches a file in jira too. But the created attachment looks then like this:

"self":"https://office.siwa.at/jira/rest/api/2/attachment/11337",
    "id":"11337",
    "filename":"/var/www/html/siwa/chuber/uploads/tx_kundenverwaltungfinal/index.jpg",
    "size":7593,
    "mimeType":"image/jpeg",
    "content":"https://office.siwa.at/jira/secure/attachment/11337/%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fhtml%2Fsiwa%2Fchuber%2Fuploads%2Ftx_kundenverwaltungfinal%2Findex.jpg",
    "thumbnail":"https://office.siwa.at/jira/secure/thumbnail/11337/_thumb_11337.png"

and thats not the result i would like to get.

I would like smth like this:

    "self":"https://office.siwa.at/jira/rest/api/2/attachment/11337",
    "id":"11337",
    "filename":"index.jpg",
    "size":7593,
    "mimeType":"image/jpeg",
    "content":"https://office.siwa.at/jira/secure/attachment/11337/index.jpg",
    "thumbnail":"https://office.siwa.at/jira/secure/thumbnail/11337/_thumb_11334.png
}

Would have been good if you could have posted the working code..

[alfredocelso]

Hi Christoph Huber;

Were you able to post an attachment when creating an issue?

I am facing the same issue, I am able to create an issue via POST but without attachment.

May you help me please?

[Christoph Huber]

I am grateful for any advice

[Christoph Huber]

my code should work. I can create issues and add comments with it. but now i dont get it how to attach attachments :/

my php code:

<?php

$username = 'xxx';
$password = 'xxx';
$url = 'xxxx/jira/rest/api/2/issue/' . $issuekey . '/attachments';

$data = "array for attachment";

$ch = curl_init();

$headers = array(
    'Accept: application/json',
    'Content-Type: application/json'
);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");



$result = curl_exec($ch);

$ch_error = curl_error($ch);



if ($ch_error) {

    echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";
} else {

    echo $result;
}



curl_close($ch);
?>

[Christoph Huber]

nobody knows :( ?

[Christoph Huber]

mhm ok thx.

but how has to be my postfile?

i always get aHTTP Status 415 -Error

description The server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method ().

so i build a wrong array?

has someone the syntax for me pls?

i tried:

$data = array("file" => "@fileURL");

 $data = array(
         'attachment' => array(
             "filename" => 'test',
             "content" => 'fileURL'
         ),

 );

 $data = array(
     'fields' => array(
         'attachment' => array(
             "filename" => 'test',
             "content" => 'fileURL'
         ),
     ),
 );

[Zul NS _Atlassian_]

How do you send the POST method? What is the content type you've specified?
