JSON property "parent" in class "JiraRestApi\Issue\IssueField" must not be NULL

[Ken-vdE]

We're experiencing this error since today: JSON property "parent" in class "JiraRestApi\Issue\IssueField" must not be NULL. Our code has worked stably for weeks. I think Jira cloud is returning different data since this weekend.

I'm simply calling get('SOMEKEY-123') on an IssueService instance.

Here's the trace: /vendor/netresearch/jsonmapper/src/JsonMapper.php in JsonMapper::map at line 216

                $this->setProperty($object, $accessor, null);
                continue;
            }
            $type = $this->removeNullable($type);
        } else if ($jvalue === null) {
            throw new JsonMapper_Exception(
                'JSON property "' . $key . '" in class "'
                . $strClassName . '" must not be NULL'
            );
        }

We are having the same issue since today.

Same issue starting from today

Same issue here.

Same. Looks like the Jira API is adding nullable properties to the response, which wasn't the case before.

Had the same issue. I've modified the JiraCloud\Issue\IssueField class to allow null in the parent setter:

    public function setParent(?Issue $parent): void
    {
        $this->parent = $parent;
    }

This unblocked me until an official fix is available.

I also modified the setParent method as shown below:

    /**
     * Set parent
     *
     * @param  Issue|null $parent
     * @return void
     */
    public function setParent(?Issue $parent)
    {
        if (!is_null($parent)) {
            $this->parent = $parent;
        }
    }
