jira.create_sprint() returns HTTP 500 text: No content to map to Object due to end of input

[els-pnw]

Before raising any bug be sure that you used the latest release and that it still reproduces with the latest master. No other version is supported.

Describe the bug I am able to run code snippets such as:

jira.boards() and jira.sprints(board_id)

However, when attempting to run:

jira.create_sprint(name=sprint,
                    startDate=start_dttm,
                    endDate=end_start_dttm,
                    board_id="10875"
                    ) 

I receive the following error:

JIRAError: JiraError HTTP 500 url: https://issues.example.com/rest/greenhopper/1.0/sprint/10875
    text: No content to map to Object due to end of input

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

jira = JIRA(server="https://issues.example.com", 
            basic_auth=(os.environ.get('user'), os.environ.get('password')))

jira.create_sprint(name=sprint,
                    startDate=start_dttm,
                    endDate=end_start_dttm,
                    board_id="10875"
                    ) 

1. Any additional steps or considerations that happen before or after. I tried:

   
   options = {"server": "https://issues.example.com"}

gh = GreenHopper(options, basic_auth=(os.environ.get('user'), os.environ.get('password')))

%%

gh.create_sprint(sprint, 10875, start_dttm, end_start_dttm, )

With the same result.

**Expected behavior**
Sprint should be created.

I wonder if the endpoint URL needs to change to be agile instead of greenhopper https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/REST/7.3.1/#agile/1.0/sprint-createSprint

from jira.resources import GreenHopperResource

jira = JIRA(server="https://issues.example.com", 
            basic_auth=(os.environ.get('user'), os.environ.get('password')),
            options={"agile_rest_path": GreenHopperResource.AGILE_BASE_REST_PATH},
)

jira.create_sprint(name=sprint,
                    startDate=start_dttm,
                    endDate=end_start_dttm,
                    board_id="10875"
                    )

I believe it does, looks like this will work using curl:

curl -X "POST" "https://jira.foo.bar/rest/agile/1.0/sprint" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -u 'user:pass' \
     -d $'{
  "startDate": "2021-11-09T00:00:00.000-07:00",
  "name": "cool name",
  "endDate": "2021-11-23T23:59:00.000-07:00",
  "originBoardId": xxxxxx
}'

The code modification from @adehad worked - thank you!

[adehad]

FYI @els-pnw #1186 aims to make this the default behaviour so you won't need to specify this manually once this is added to a release
