Jira integration WebdriverIO > Getting error i.e. Couldn't initialise service “jira”

[vipuljust]

I am integrating wdio with Jira service and getting the following error

ERROR: Couldn't initialise service "jira". TypeError: JiraService is not a constructor at Object. (E:\Year\2019\Feb\27th Feb\node_modules\wdio-jira-service\index.js:3:18)

And using the WDIO version: 4.14.1

Reference url: https://www.npmjs.com/package/wdio-jira-service

if you want I can share my code.

Thanks.

@patthiel : I am also facing the same issue.

[vipuljust]

Any update?

[patthiel]

Hi both,

Are you certain you're using the correct version of WebdriverIO? This service is only compatible with version v4. You can confirm you have the correct version via: npx wdio -v from the base of your project.

Also feel free to share your project in a a zip file. Happy to take a look

I am using the v4.14.1.

I am sharing my zip file. Kindly look at it. Please let me know how we can use jira in wdio.

Thanks in advance.

I published a small change that, in my testing, seemed to resolve the service initialization issue. Just to note: I've not tested this module with cucumber.

The goal was for a .spec.js test or a .feature with respect to cucumber, to exercise a test case ticket in JIRA by defining a global variable in the test like below:

describe('Example Test' () => {
  global.jiraIssue = 'M3-535';

  it('should succeed and update the issue status in JIRA to the Passed state', () => {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  });

  // the service then fires the after hook from the wdio.conf.js and checks if this suite contained any failures. If not, it fires the test success id status to jira
 // if the test suite contains a failure, it fires a request to jira with the failure ID to update the issue to failed
});

And for you to have configured the jira issue with a Passed status and a Failed status.

Thanks for quick response.

As I am a novice to WDIO framework,

Can you please provide failure scenario example for Jira and how we can call WDIO runner Jira service from a .spec.js test or a .feature or in mocha.

Thanks in Advance.

The above example i provided should work for a pass or failure scenario.

You just need to define in each spec a global.jiraIssue = "PROJECT-TICKET_NUMBER". You also need to provide in the wdio.conf.js the correct transition status ID's for a pass / failure. They're defined in the wdio config file as failureId and successId. You can get the transition ID's through JIRA's API here: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-getTransitions

the successId can be thought of as moving the issue to "Done" or "Complete" in JIRA, and the failureId is like "Rejected" or "Failed" in the workflow of a ticket.

Thanks you so much Now i can update Jira status.

How we can create new issue in Jira for failure scenarios.

[patthiel]

there's currently nothing in the integration that will automatically create an issue for a failure scenario, you're welcome to open a PR to add this though and i'd be happy to review!

[vipuljust]

Sure I will try to do...
