1. Version:

   JiraCLI (Version="dev", GitCommit="", GoVersion="go1.17.3", BuildDate="", Compiler="gc", Platform="linux/amd64")

    ? Login username: larry
    ? Default project: PK
    � Fetching boards for project 'PK'... 
    � Unable to generate configuration: please provide options to select from

3. Debug

   go/bin> curl --request GET \
       --url 'https://myjira.com/rest/agile/1.0/board?projectKey=PK' \

   The message returned by the jira server is expected? Or is there any suggested way to solve it? Thanks!

Hi @abbi1229, it looks like you don't have any board in a project. Is it so?

[abbi1229]

Hi @ankitpokhrel No, We don't have any Board in a project. I tried to create a Board but I don’t have permission. 😭 Our team is used to using DashBoard or just open Project then filter the issue. Is it possible that jira-cli works without a Board ?

[abbi1229]

Hi @ankitpokhrel, Our project was created with Bug tracking of project template. https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/features/bug-tracking Not a Kanban or Scrum. So there will not have a Board in default. Could jira-cli support this type of project template?

[ankitpokhrel]

@abbi1229 You can now select None for empty boards and rest of the things should just work.

The change will be available in the next release.

For now, if you wish to use this feature, you can either compile from source or if you are using homebrew you can build binary from HEAD (requires make, git and go)

brew uninstall jira-cli
brew install jira-cli --HEAD
