Can I check the results of an issue generated by the JIRA :: REST Module in a Perl environment?

Hi, everyone.
I created an issue using the JIRA :: REST module in the perl environment as shown below.

use utf8;
use Filehandle;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Encode;
use JIRA::REST;

my $jira = JIRA::REST -> new({
url => ‘http://company.domain:8080’,
username => ‘xxxxx’,
password => ‘xxxxxxxxxx’,
});

print FILE_H “jira: “.$jira.” \n\n” ;

my $issue = $jira -> POST(’/issue’, undef, {
fields => {
project => {key => ‘SMPKB’},
issuetype => {name => ‘Task’},
summary => ‘JIRA-REST, summary.’,
description => ‘bla bla bla.’,
},
});

I also checked the issue created by logging into Atlassian Jira.
How do I check the return value of an issue generated without logging into Atlassian Jira?
I need to be able to check in a Perl environment.

Hello Alex,

Since Create issue REST API returns a JSON response body, you can check it out by calling something like

print Dumper($issue);

or check if the $issue->{key} exists, which might tell you that an issue has been successfully created. Usually, the HTTP status is checked but I am not sure how it will be done with JIRA::REST module.

Cheers,
Ian

Hi, Ian
I sincerely appreciate your help.
I solved it because of your help.
The source is shown below.

use utf8;
use Filehandle;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Encode;
use JIRA::REST;
use REST::Client;
use JSON;
use Data::Dumper;
use MIME::Base64;

y $jira = JIRA::REST -> new({
url => ‘http://company.domain:8080’,
username => ‘xxxx’,
password => ‘xxxx’,
});

my $issue = $jira -> GET("/issue/SMPKB-16?fields=summary,description");
my $fields = $issue->{fields};
print “summary = $fields->{summary}\n”;
print “description = $fields->{description}\n”;

The results below.
Active code page: 65001
F:\ideaic\perl\site\lib>perl ideaic_interface_jira_get.pl
summary = Issues like this one that are marked as fixed in a released version do not show up in Work mode but are included in the reports
Wide character in print at ideaic_interface_jira_get.pl line 65.
description = 한글 테스트.

F:\ideaic\perl\site\lib>

However, a “wide character in print at” error occurs.
I’ve added the code below, but I get an error.
binmode OUT, ‘:encoding($fields)’;

Cheers,
Alex

Hello @netdynamics, for “wide character in print at” warning, one of the solutions is to use the -CS parameter mentioned in this post; I tried it out and it works. There are also perl unicode related documentation in here.

I see that you were able to incorporate the answer in I want to print only specific field values of a specific issue. If that works for you kindly mark the solution to that question so that others who are facing the same issue can find the solution.

Hope this helps.
Ian
