REST Services: Get issues by filter

[Carl Nolan]

Hi,

Can't seem to find any examples/info about this. I have a JIRA gadget which takes a project ID (example: "project-1000") which comes from a dropdown box and then creates a certain graph of issues for that project.

I did this by writing a REST service (I think that's what it's called) in Java which uses ComponentManager.getIssueManager().getIssueIdsForProject().

However now I need to add the ability to choose a filter instead of a whole project. I've gotten as far as getting the filter id (ex: "filter-10000") to the Java backend service but I can't find a method which will do something similar to getIssueIdsForProject() for a filter id.

Anyone know how I'd go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Carl

Use SearchRequestService to get the SearchRequest.

http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/4.4.5/com/atlassian/jira/bc/filter/SearchRequestService.html#getFilter%28com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContext,%20java.lang.Long%29

After you do that, try the following:

List<Issue> issues = searchService.search(user, searchRequest.getQuery(), PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter());

Hey Jobin, this looks like the right way to go except I'm not sure how to use getFilter. I'm trying something along the lines of this at the moment:

SearchRequest sr = SearchRequestService.getFilter(null, filterId);

But I know this is wrong. getFilter isn't static. Could you possibly give me some example code?

Thanks.

EDIT: I've gotten it to this:

SearchRequest sr = ??.getFilter(new JiraServiceContextImpl(user), filterId);

Use ComponentManager.getSearchRequestService().getFilter....

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

or inject it in the constructor as you do with other manager classes!

Okay I think I almost have it. Do you have any idea why the following lines would cause the plugin to not get compiled/deployed with atlas-cli?

SearchRequest sr = cm.getSearchRequestService().getFilter(new JiraServiceContextImpl(user), filterId);
SearchService ss = cm.getSearchService();
        	
PagerFilter filter = PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter();
com.atlassian.query.Query filterQuery = sr.getQuery();

SearchResults results = ss.search(user, filterQuery, filter);
List<Issue> issues = results.getIssues();

As you can see I've broken it up all into individual lines, this was to try find the culprit. Turns out it's this line:

SearchResults results = ss.search(user, filterQuery, filter);

Any idea why?

Thank you again and sorry for being so helpless!!

Was missing a try/catch around that one line! Stupid! Thank you for all your help

Just use:

https://yourdomain.jira.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=assignee was erik

or something similar

I think this would only fetch the results on the Javascript side? I need to get them into Java to do some work on them first. Thanks though

Yes, this is the REST endpoint for it. How you use it is language dependant.
