Fisheye REST api DELETE methods require a body but AppLinks don't allow

[Justin Shapiro]

How do I delete group permissions in Fisheye if AppLink won't let me add a body to a DELETE request?

What API do you use, com.atlassian.applinks.api.ApplicationLinkRequestFactory#createRequest to create a request over application link?  If so, you should be able to call https://docs.atlassian.com/sal-api/2.7.0/sal-api/apidocs/com/atlassian/sal/api/net/Request.html#setRequestBody(java.lang.String) on instantiated request object to specify the body.

Hope that helps

The linked javadoc says it's only valid for POST and PUT.  It's not lying either. If you try to use it for DELETE it throws an exception.

Apologies, I missed that bit, I wasn't aware of this limitation of Application Links.  I've raised a bug https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-6654 to get this improved, I'm afraid I can't think of any simple workaround for now, other than implementing own FishEye plugin that would expose the REST endpoints you need and that would consume Java API internally.

Hope that helps,

In the mean time what I did was PUT allowLoggedIn:true and then PUT allowLoggedIn:false.  This resets all permitted groups and then I performed a POST for each group I wanted to permit.

It's a very chatty solution.  It'd be nice to be able to send a list to set them all at once.

thanks, I've added your solution as workaround to FE-6654 issue.
