A doubt about CURL post command

[Max]

Hi everyone.

I am able to use the CURL get command to GET an issue from JIRA server.

curl -D- -u test:test123 -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://x.x.x.x:7070/issue/rest/api/2/search?jql=key+in+('TEST001')+AND+project+in+('projectname')

This works fine. It returns the actual issue on the shell prompt the output.

But when it comes to a POST instruction,

I did the following :

curl -D- -u test:test123 -X POST --data @send.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://x.x.x.x:7070/issue/rest/api/2/issue

And inside my send.json, I had the following:

{"project":{"key":"projectname"},"summary":"Testing REST API","issuetype": {"name": "Task"}}

But I get the error even though my JSON text is properly formatted. The :

{"errorMessages":["Internal server error"],"errors":{}}

Any ideas why?

The internal error usually can happen if the json  data are not valid. Looking at your JSON value it looks like it is missing a "fields"": syntax:

{ 
 "fields":{ 
 "project":{ 
 "key":"BUR"
 },
 "summary":"Testing REST API",
 "issuetype":{ 
 "name":"Task"
 }
 }
}

 Please add above json and try again if you are able to create issue successfully

@Amirul Ikhwan Omar, Can you kindly help us with the JIRA module in python? I see these errors for a simple script. All I am trying to do is list the projects. Can you please help with this issue? As you know from above, I am able to connect to the server to GET and POST using Curl commands from command prompt. But my objective is to use the python jira module.

#!/usr/bin/python

from jira import JIRA

options = { 'server' : 'http://x.x.x.x:7070'}

jira = JIRA(options,basic_auth=('test', 'test1234!'))
projects = jira.projects()

print (projects)

Hi Max, 

Looking at the reply it looks like you are using a different based URL (http://x.x.x.x:7070/issue). Based on the error it looks like the script unable to reach to the based URL (http://x.x.x.x:7070)
