Invoke-JiraIssueTransition : error with accountId missing

Jira Development Jira Cloud
,

Hello,

I’m trying to use the JiraPS powershell module.

I have success to get issues, but I fail to update its status, here is my code (i’ve removed my , and i’m on a french computer so my errore messages are in french …)

I connect with my account, I can update the status on the web client.

$userName = 'user@maildomain.fr'
$userPassword = "fake api token"

[securestring]$secStringPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $userPassword -AsPlainText -Force
[pscredential]$jiraCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($userName, $secStringPassword)

Set-JiraConfigServer 'fake value'
New-JiraSession -Credential $jiraCreds

$issueNumber="fake value"
$issue=Get-JiraIssue $issueNumber
$transition = $issue.transition | Where-Object {$_.name -eq "Traiter le ticket"}
$issue | Invoke-JiraIssueTransition -Transition $transition.id -Assignee $userName

The error message says :

Invoke-JiraMethod : Vous devez spécifier le paramètre de requête « accountId »
Au caractère C:\Users\myaccount\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\JiraPS\2.14.7\JiraPS.psm1:2860 : 34
+                     if ($users = Invoke-JiraMethod @parameter) {
+                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidResult : (:) [Invoke-JiraMethod], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidResponse.Status400,Invoke-JiraMethod

Can someone explain me what I am doing wrong ?

Thank you
Olivier

Hello @OlivierGOURET

You haven’t advised if you’re making the request to Jira SERVER / DATA CENTER or Jira CLOUD. You’ve obfuscated the Set-JiraConfigServer variable’s value, so there is no way for us to know.

There are many threads on the topic of the JiraPS library having a few problems with Jira Cloud. Do you get the same result when:

  1. You use the PS native Invoke-RestMethod instead?
  2. You test the same request using a test tool like Postman?

Hello,

My URL is “uneo-sandbox-865.atlassian.net” (i’m using the sandbox).

After sending my question, I saw that with “strict gdpr” mode I need to assign the issue using the accountId.
I tried the following code (using Invoke-JiraMethod) to first assign the issue, but it doesn’t assign the issue (it stays “Unassigned”)
(source: Cannot get or set assignee of issues · Issue #404 · AtlassianPS/JiraPS · GitHub)

$user=Invoke-JiraMethod "https://uneo-sandbox-865.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/user/search?query=$username"
$accountIdObject = [pscustomobject]@{
    accountId = $user | select -ExpandProperty accountId
}
$fields = @{
    'assignee' = $accountIdObject
}
$issueNumber="mdp-2031"
Set-JiraIssue -Issue $issueNumber -Fields $fields

Get-JiraIssue -Issue $issueNumber # -> **it stays "Unassigned"**

But it works using REST API in PostMan, so i’ll have to do it like that.

Thank you.

Hello

At least you know the cause of the problem now.

This is one of the reasons I stopped using JiraPS, as it’s not being well maintained. I prefer to use the native Invoke-RestMethod and make my own functions around it. If the REST API specs change, I can quickly update my functions to match.

Cheers

@OlivierGOURET hi, your post helped me a lot, here is how I modified it to make it work

                # Define the account ID for the assignee
                $accountId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

                # Construct a custom object for the assignee field
                $assigneeObject = @{
                    'accountId' = $accountId
                }

                # Construct the fields object for setting the assignee
                $fields = @{
                    'assignee' = $assigneeObject
                }

                # Update the issue with the specified fields
                Set-JiraIssue -Issue $Issue.key -Fields $fields

Where “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” is the account ID which you can find after accessing your “Account” in t jira cloud top right corner and select “Profile”
Check the link in your browser
https://yourproject.atlassian.net/jira/people/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Everything you will get after “people” is your account ID.
Hope this will help you.
Cheers!!!
