Create Jira issue from Jenkins

Question

Hi, I am trying to create a Jira issue through Jenkins on a Windows agent. The console output is not showing any error, however, the Jira issue is not getting created. Below is the code:

pipeline {
  agent { label 'windows'}
   stages {
    stage('Build') {
     steps {  
       bat script {"""curl -u ${jira_username}:${jira_password} -X POST -H 'Content- Type:application/json' -d '{"fields":{"components":[{"id":"1"}],"fixVersions":[{"id":"2"}],"project":{"key":"KEY"},"summary":"summary","description":"description","issuetype":{"name":"Test"}}}' http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/"""}
    }
  }
}

}

The console output is:

 D:\workspace\TestJob>curl -u username:password -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d 
'{"fields":{"components":[{"id":"1"}],"fixVersions":[{"id":"2"}],"project": 
{"key":"KEY"},"summary":"summary","description":"description","issuetype":{"name":"Test"}}}' 
http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/ 
% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                               Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
 100   136    0     0  100   136      0    323 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--   326

It doesn't throw any errors but the issue is also not getting created.

However, The same code if I run on Linux slave then I get the below response and the issue is getting created.

  + curl -u 'username:password' -X POST -H Content-Type:application/json -d '{"fields": 
  {"components":[{"id":"1"}],"fixVersions":[{"id":"2"}],"project": 
  {"key":"KEY"},"summary":"summary","description":"description","issuetype": 
  {"name":"Test"}}}' http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                             Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0

 {"id":"648","key":"KEY-35","self":"http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/648"}

As you can see the issue is getting created on Linux but not on windows. Requesting help to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Resolved the issue

Firstly 'Content-Type: application/json' should be in double-quotes. Putting it in single quote 'Content-Type: application/json' was actually giving 415 error code which I got to know after using -k -D- in the curl command

Secondly, I had to use double backslash in the data.

The command which actually worked is:

bat script {"""curl -u username:password --header "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data "{\\"fields\\":{\\"project\\":{\\"key\\":\\"KEY\\"},\\"summary\\":\\"summary\\",\\"description\\":\\"description\\",\\"issuetype\\":{\\"name\\":\\"Test\\"},\\"components\\":[{\\"id\\":\\"1\\"}],\\"fixVersions\\":[{\\"id\\":\\"2\\"}]}}" http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/issue/"""}
