This is my first time creating an Atlassian Connect Express app so please excuse any noobness and correct me if I’m mis-stating or misunderstanding anything.
I created a very basic NodeJS app using ACE to sync Jira’s Description field with custom fields that I added (“Story Description” and “Bug Description”)
I installed the app using the ngrok URL upon server start when running npm start
atlassian-connect.json file for reference:
{
"key": "takeoff-jira-app",
"name": "Takeoff Technologies Jira App",
"description": "Takeoff Technologies custom application for managing Jira.",

"url": "/takeoff-jira-app",
"conditions": [{
"condition": "user_is_logged_in"
}]
}
]
},
"apiMigrations": {
"gdpr": true
}
}
I set up webhooks on issue create/update/delete to hit my ngrok endpoint with the following route configured
route/index.js:
...
// Add issue handler for Jira webhooks
app.post('/issue', addon.authenticate(), (req, res) => {
var httpClient = addon.httpClient(req);
var issueKey = req.body.issue.key;
var issueType = req.body.issue.fields.issuetype.name;
var description = req.body.issue.fields.description;
var storyDescription = req.body.issue.fields['customfield_10345'];
var bugDescription = req.body.issue.fields['customfield_10344'];
var changelogItems = req.body.changelog.items;
changelogItems.forEach(function(change) {
var issueUpdate = {};
var options = {
method: 'PUT',
url: '/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey,
//auth: { bearer: '<access_token>' },
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: {
fields: {}
}
};
// Update Description if Story Description was updated and contents don't match
if (change.field == "Story Description" && change.fieldId == "customfield_10345" && change.toString != description) {
console.log("Updating", issueKey, "Description", "to", change.toString);
options.body.fields.description = change.toString;
httpClient.put(options, function(err, res, body) {
if (err) {
throw new Error(err);
}
console.log(
'Response: ' + res.statusCode + ' ' + res.statusMessage
);
console.log(body);
});
}
// Update Story Description if Description was updated and issue type equals Story and contents don't match
if (issueType == "Story" && change.field == "description" && change.toString != storyDescription) {
console.log("Updating", issueKey, "Story Description", "to", change.toString);
options.body.fields['customfield_10345'] = change.toString;
httpClient.put(options, function(err, res, body) {
if (err) {
throw new Error(err);
}
console.log(
'Response: ' + res.statusCode + ' ' + res.statusMessage
);
console.log(body);
});
}
});
res.send(200);
});
...
When I update an issue in my Jira Cloud instance, the webhook triggers and my server receives the request, however, it doesn’t seem to be getting past the addon.authenticate() middleware due to the following error: Authentication verification error (401): Could not find authentication data on request.
Server log:
$ npm start

I’ve tried running the server with AC_OPTS=no-auth,force-reg however, then httpClient comes up null (TypeError: Cannot read property 'put' of null).
I have both “Enable private listings” and " Enable development mode" checked.
What am I doing wrong?
