jira rest java client + JSONObject["assignee"] not found

[Shradha Singh]

Hi Experts!

I have downloaded JIRA REST JAVA Client zip and have set it up. I have added all required dependencies also.

I am trying to fetch issue details using rest api. Here is the code. Connection is getting established with http://jira. But I am getting following error. I am the assignee of the issue TES-1. 

==========================ERROR==============================================

"Exception in thread "main" net.sf.json.JSONException: JSONObject["assignee"] not found."

=========================CODE================================================

import java.io.File;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import net.rcarz.jiraclient.*;

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class TestJIRARestClient {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
BasicCredentials creds = new BasicCredentials("user", "password");
JiraClient jira = null;
try {
jira = new JiraClient("http://jira/", creds);
     System.out.println("Connection success JIRA");
} catch (JiraException e) {
     System.out.println("Error in making connection with JIRA");
e.printStackTrace();
}

try {

String includeFields = "summary";
final Issue issue = jira.getIssue("TES-1",includeFields);

System.out.println(issue);

System.out.println(issue.getKey());

} catch (JiraException ex) {

System.err.println(ex.getMessage());

if (ex.getCause() != null)
System.err.println(ex.getCause().getMessage());
}

}

}

Hi Shradha,

I repeat the same to all who ask about JRJC: Throw away jira-rest-java-client-api and do direct calls to JIRA REST API: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/

jira-rest-java-client-api is just a wrapper around REST API and it's not in sync with the latest JIRA REST API. You can get errors when using it to query recent JIRA versions.

If you still want to go with JRJC you cat try to debug what actually is returned from JIRA. Based on the stacktrace I guess you need to debug/log near net.rcarz.jiraclient.Issue.deserialise.
