Create Issues with issue-type in a national language cannot be created with option --noedit

[volker-schukai]

I try to create an issue in one line without an editor.

Version 1.0.20

create a new issue

jira create -p myProject --noedit -iBug -o summary="Test"

works fine, but

jira create -p myProject --noedit -iAufgabe -o summary="Test"

doesn´t work.

I think it depends on the jira-api

jira issuetypes -p MyProject

returns correct:

Aufgabe:   My Description
Bug:          Bugs....

Jira-API

this api-call doesn´t work (issuetypes is empty): /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=MyProject&issuetypeNames=Aufgabe&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields

this api-call works (issuetypes returned): /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=MyProject&issuetypeNames=Task&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields

but if I try the following

jira create -p myProject --noedit -iTask -o summary="Test"

then I get the following message: ERROR Invalid Usage: Project MyProject and IssueType Task not found

Came here as I had a 'similar' issue... I was unable to get the overrides to work. I'm also on a german Jira instance and it works for me now -- so I assume it's really unrelated to Jira's language. Of course, you should provide a valid issue type (as provided by jira issutypes -p YourProject).

What I didn't figure out from documentation was how to use the overrides provided via command line. Maybe docs could be improved a bit on this aspect?

Anyhow, for reference: To make -o summary=... work for one-line ticket creation, edit ~/.jira.d/templates/create and add something like shown here:

fields:

  issuetype:
    name: Bug

  {{ if .overrides.summary }}summary: {{ .overrides.summary }}{{ else }}summary: {{ end }}

  customfield_...:
    name: 'foobar'

@volker-schukai could you please give it a try and report back? If it still doesn't work, please provide the error message for your "doesn't work" command.

Same problem here, using jira cloud instance:

$ jira issuetypes -p PREZ 
Tarea:        Una tarea que se debe realizar.
Subtarea:     La subtarea de la incidencia.
Mejora:       La mejora o perfeccionamiento de una función o tarea existente.
Error:        <no value>
Épica:        Creado por JIRA Software - no editar ni eliminar. Tipo de incidencia para una historia del usuario grande que debe desglosarse.

But then:

$ jira create -p PREZ -i Error
usage: jira create [<flags>]

If I enable debug (-vvv), the client is sending:

GET /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=PREZ&issuetypeNames=Error&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields

and the server is replying:

      "self": "https://xxxxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project/11708",

I had the same issue. My workaroung was to change my langage to "English (US)" in my jira profile.

Now jira issuetypes list the types in english. And I can create an issue with --issuetype Bug

Before that, my JIRA profile was in FR, and --issuetype Bogue did not work even if listed by jira issuetypes command

For what it's worth, the only thing that got this working for me was setting the project as an environmental variable. I didn't have a language issue, but I got the same error you did every time. When I set JIRA_PROJECT and used %JIRA_PROJECT% (I'm on Windows), it worked. Nothing else I tried did it. Doesn't make sense to me, but that's what I got.

@volker-schukai could you please give it a try and report back? If it still doesn't work, please provide the error message for your "doesn't work" command.

ok, thats workaround works if I omit the argument --issuetype however, the main problem remains
