Can't create an issue anymore with jira-rest-java-client-core

Victor Mosin
Victor Mosin July 17, 2019

I've been using those library for a year and it was fine. Approx. 1 or 2 weeks ago it stoped to work.

 

POM

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
   <artifactId>jira-rest-java-client-core</artifactId>
   <version>5.1.2-2bd0a62e</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>io.atlassian.fugue</groupId>
   <artifactId>fugue</artifactId>
   <version>4.7.2</version>
   <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

 

Java

BasicIssue task = jiraRestClient.getIssueClient().createIssue(taskBuilder.build()).claim();

Server respond with

com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.RestClientException: org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONException: A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 10 of











<html>

<head>








<title>Unauthorized (401)</title>







<!--[if IE]><![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript" >
var contextPath = '';
var DeferScripts = { deferState: 'disabled' };
</script>
<script>

Hi Victor,

Basic authentication with passwords and cookie-based authentication are now deprecated and disabled. 

"The deprecation period for this functionality has ended. From June 3rd, 2019, we will be progressively disabling the usage of this authentication method" - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/deprecation-notice-basic-auth-and-cookie-based-auth/

You can use Basic Authentication with tokens instead of credentials.

So what java library should we use instead?  I suppose we need to write our own `AuthenticationHandler` to implement the new way of doing things.

Hi Ben,

It seems you just need to use API token instead of password.

Hi, 

I used the API Token too but I have the same error. Using jira-rest-java-client-core v 5.2.4

Is there something that I can do to solve it?

 

private JiraRestClient getJiraRestClient() {

BasicHttpAuthenticationHandler authenticationHandler = new BasicHttpAuthenticationHandler(this.username, this.password);

return new AsynchronousJiraRestClientFactory().createWithAuthenticationHandler(getJiraUri(), authenticationHandler);
}

private URI getJiraUri() {
return URI.create(this.jiraUrl);
}

where I use the api-token instead of the password. But It does not work
