Inconsistent Behavior When Querying by Epic Key

[chrisccoy]

Describe the bug If I attempt to execute a query against "jira_issue" using the "epic_key" in my "where clause" it does not yield any results. However, if I first query against jira_issue using "key" and then try by "epic_key" it works as expected.

Caveat: I am using a forked plugin, because I am going against an enterprise installation and needed to change the api endpoint path to version "rest/api/2/" and not "rest/api/3/". I assume this works against Jira cloud but scratching my head as to why I need to issue a preemptive query to get it working as expected. I realize this is not the version that was tested on for the original plugin, and perhaps that's my tough luck, but just trying to understand the behavior, because the API is still very similar and works in many cases OOTB.

Steampipe version (steampipe -v) Example: v0.16.4

Plugin version (steampipe plugin list) v0.6.0 (forked to use rest/api/2/)

To reproduce

Login to CLI - steampipe query Execute query:

select
  i.id as issue_id,
  i.status as issue_status,
  i.created as issue_created,
  i.creator_display_name,
  i.assignee_display_name,
  e.id as epic_id,
  e.name as epic_name,
  i.summary as issue_summary
from
  ccoyjira.jira_epic as e,
  ccoyjira.jira_issue as i
where
  i.epic_key = e.key
  and e.key = 'APIGOV-19479'

The above does not yield any results.

Quit the CLI - .quit

Login to CLI again - steampipe query execute a different query first - select * from ccoyjira.jira_issue where key = 'APIGOV-22292'

re-execute the query from first login:

select
  i.id as issue_id,
  i.status as issue_status,
  i.created as issue_created,
  i.creator_display_name,
  i.assignee_display_name,
  e.id as epic_id,
  e.name as epic_name,
  i.summary as issue_summary
from
  ccoyjira.jira_epic as e,
  ccoyjira.jira_issue as i
where
  i.epic_key = e.key
  and e.key = 'APIGOV-19479'

Now, this yields the expected 48 rows.

Expected behavior I'd expect it should work the first time without having to issue an initial query. I realize that this must work against Jira Cloud version 3, but I am struggling to understand why it sort of works with this forked version. I have the LOG LEVEL set to TRACE, but can't seem to determine meaningful discrepancies between the logs that explains why it doesn't work under 1 scenario but does in another.
