Error on Issue Creation - reporter: "Reporter is required"

[mbystrzak]

Hello,

This may be more of a question so I apologize in advance but I'm hitting a wall and looking for some guidance. I'm experiencing this error "Reporter is required" when I am attempting to create a new issue through this extension. I can do all other things with the extension, just not the issue creation.

I am inputting a "reporter" in through the command bar and it's allowing me to submit the request. It is replying with this http 400 error as I noted above. I've tried a bunch of things but I cannot figure out how to set this attribute in the vscode settings as there doesn't appear to be an attribute for it. I can see in the request that my accountid in a custom header, x-aaccountid.

Can you help guide me on how I might solve this issue?

Hi @mbystrzak, do you have any log in the terminal? Here is a guide to look at the logs here

[mbystrzak]

I do, but I'm hesitant to post it because it has proprietary information in it. I grabbed the snippets that I felt were important in an effort to obfuscate the sensitive stuff. Is there specific things I might look for?

[gioboa]

Yes, sure you must delete all sensitive data. Is there any error message?

[mbystrzak]

yes, I noted it in my original post...

{"statusCode":400,"body":{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"reporter":"Reporter is required."}}

That's the only error message.

The fastest way to understand the problem is hack the plugin code. In this folder you have all installed extensions ~/.vscode/extensions If you open with text editor this file ~/.vscode/extensions/gioboa.jira-plugin-xx.xx.xx/out/src/services/issue-helper.service.ts You can debug the code with console.log because are visibile in VsCode dev tool - Help > Toggle Developer Tools you can log the payload at this line and check it

https://github.com/gioboa/jira-plugin/blob/05db0960eee536f45f855c126930e0d63a7c0cb2/src/services/issue-helper.service.ts#L337

in this method the plugin is going to create the issue

[mbystrzak]

@gioboa Excellent! Thanks for this. I will give this a go and see what I can do. I'll report back in the near future.

[mbystrzak]

OK. So I'm finding that I must have a different version of this plugin than what you're referencing. My issue-helper.service file only has 329 lines and the line you mentioned doesn't exist. The line I have looks like this...

const createdIssue = yield _1.store.state.jira.createIssue(payload);

Can you tell me where you are defining the reporter and pushing it into this method?

[gioboa]

Check this line https://github.com/gioboa/jira-plugin/blob/05db0960eee536f45f855c126930e0d63a7c0cb2/src/services/issue-helper.service.ts#LL170C7-L170C95

if (this.isAssigneeOrReporterField(fieldName)) {
  // assignee autoCompleteUrl sometimes don't work, I use custom one
  // this.preloadedListValues[fieldName] = await store.state.jira.customRequest('GET', field.autoCompleteUrl);
  this.preloadedListValues[fieldName] = await store.state.jira.getAssignees(this.project);
}

type JIRA_PLUGIN_DEBUG_MODE In your current text editor and you will enable the debugMode to log extra info https://github.com/gioboa/jira-plugin/blob/05db0960eee536f45f855c126930e0d63a7c0cb2/src/services/logger.service.ts#LL22C25-L22C47 I didn't remember this piece of code 🤣

private debugMode() {
  const editor = vscode.window.activeTextEditor;
  if (editor && editor.document) {
    const text = editor.document.getText();
    if (text.indexOf('JIRA_PLUGIN_DEBUG_MODE') !== -1) {
      return true;
    }
  }
  return false;
}

we need to pass the id of the reporter. this is a screen from a Jira Web Application HTTP request

I created a Jira Test account because I don't use it anymore 🤣

[gioboa]

if you clone the repo, install deps. then you could press F5 From VsCode (first instance) --> another instance of VsCode will be launched.(second instance). You can debug the second instance by the first one, breakpoint are available.

[gioboa]

@mbystrzak can you apply this fix in your extension code? let me know if it works.

UPDATE

Here I created the version 022.3-beta.0, let me know if it solves the issue jira-plugin-0.22.3-beta.0.vsix.zip

[mbystrzak]

Sorry for the delay. Things got away from me. This worked. I'd recommend pushing this into your production code so we can pull it from the store.

[gioboa]

Great 😃 I will create the new release soon. Please star ⭐ the repo, it means a lot to me 😉
