6.1.1. jira.client module#

Jira Client module.

This module implements a friendly (well, friendlier) interface between the raw JSON responses from Jira and the Resource/dict abstractions provided by this library. Users will construct a JIRA object as described below. Full API documentation can be found at: https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

jira.client.cloud_api(client_method: Callable) → Callable[source]#

A convenience decorator to check if the Jira instance is cloud.

Checks if the client instance is talking to Cloud Jira. If it is, return the result of the called client method. If not, return None and log a warning.

Parameters:

client_method – The method that is being called by the client.

Returns:

Either the result of the wrapped function or None.

Raises:

JIRAError – In the case the error is not an HTTP error with a status code.
NotJIRAInstanceError – In the case that the first argument to this method is not a client.JIRA instance.

jira.client.experimental_atlassian_api(client_method: Callable) → Callable[source]#

A convenience decorator to inform if a client method is experimental.

Indicates the path covered by the client method is experimental. If the path disappears or the method becomes disallowed, this logs an error and returns None. If another kind of exception is raised, this reraises.

Raises:

JIRAError – In the case the error is not an HTTP error with a status code.
NotJIRAInstanceError – In the case that the first argument to this method is is not a client.JIRA instance.

Returns:

Either the result of the wrapped function or None.

Bases: object

User interface to Jira.

Clients interact with Jira by constructing an instance of this object and calling its methods. For addressable resources in Jira – those with “self” links – an appropriate subclass of jira.resources.Resource will be returned with customized update() and delete() methods, along with attribute access to fields. This means that calls of the form issue.fields.summary will be resolved into the proper lookups to return the JSON value at that mapping. Methods that do not return resources will return a dict constructed from the JSON response or a scalar value; see each method’s documentation for details on what that method returns.

Without any arguments, this client will connect anonymously to the Jira instance started by the Atlassian Plugin SDK from one of the ‘atlas-run’, atlas-debug or atlas-run-standalone commands. By default, this instance runs at http://localhost:2990/jira. The options argument can be used to set the Jira instance to use.

Authentication is handled with the basic_auth argument. If authentication is supplied (and is accepted by Jira), the client will remember it for subsequent requests.

For quick command line access to a server, see the jirashell script included with this distribution.

The easiest way to instantiate is using j = JIRA("https://jira.atlassian.com")

Construct a Jira client instance.

Authentication is handled with the basic_auth or token_auth argument. If authentication is supplied (and is accepted by Jira), the client will remember it for subsequent requests.

For quick command line access to a server, see the jirashell script included with this distribution.

The easiest way to instantiate is using j = JIRA("https://jira.atlasian.com")

Parameters:

server (Optional[str]) – The server address and context path to use. Defaults to http://localhost:2990/jira.
options (Optional[Dict[str, bool, Any]]) –
Specify the server and properties this client will use. Use a dict with any of the following properties:
- server – the server address and context path to use. Defaults to http://localhost:2990/jira.
- rest_path – the root REST path to use. Defaults to api, where the Jira REST resources live.
- rest_api_version – the version of the REST resources under rest_path to use. Defaults to 2.
- agile_rest_path - the REST path to use for Jira Agile requests. Defaults to agile.
- verify (Union[bool, str]) – Verify SSL certs. (Default: True). Or path to a CA_BUNDLE file or directory with certificates of trusted CAs, for the requests library to use.
- client_cert (Union[str, Tuple[str,str]]) – Path to file with both cert and key or a tuple of (cert,key), for the requests library to use for client side SSL.
- check_update – Check whether using the newest python-jira library version.
- headers – a dict to update the default headers the session uses for all API requests.
basic_auth (Optional[Tuple[str, str]]) – A tuple of username and password to use when establishing a session via HTTP BASIC authentication.
token_auth (Optional[str]) – A string containing the token necessary for (PAT) bearer token authorization.
oauth (Optional[Any]) –
A dict of properties for OAuth authentication. The following properties are required:
- access_token – OAuth access token for the user
- access_token_secret – OAuth access token secret to sign with the key
- consumer_key – key of the OAuth application link defined in Jira
- key_cert – private key file to sign requests with (should be the pair of the public key supplied to Jira in the OAuth application link)
- signature_method (Optional) – The signature method to use with OAuth. Defaults to oauthlib.oauth1.SIGNATURE_HMAC_SHA1
kerberos (bool) – True to enable Kerberos authentication. (Default: False)

- mutual_authentication – string DISABLED or OPTIONAL.
Example kerberos_options structure: {'mutual_authentication': 'DISABLED'}
jwt (Optional[Any]) –
A dict of properties for JWT authentication supported by Atlassian Connect. The following properties are required:
- secret – shared secret as delivered during ‘installed’ lifecycle event (see https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/modules/lifecycle.html for details)
- payload – dict of fields to be inserted in the JWT payload, e.g. ‘iss’
Example jwt structure: {'secret': SHARED_SECRET, 'payload': {'iss': PLUGIN_KEY}}
validate (bool) – True makes your credentials first to be validated. Remember that if you are accessing Jira as anonymous it will fail. (Default: False).
get_server_info (bool) – True fetches server version info first to determine if some API calls are available. (Default: True).
async (bool) – True enables async requests for those actions where we implemented it, like issue update() or delete(). (Default: False).
async_workers (int) – Set the number of worker threads for async operations.
timeout (Optional[Union[Union[float, int], Tuple[float, float]]]) – Set a read/connect timeout for the underlying calls to Jira. Obviously this means that you cannot rely on the return code when this is enabled.

default_batch_sizes (Optional[Dict[Type[Resource], Optional[int]]]) – Manually specify the batch-sizes for the paginated retrieval of different item types. Resource is used as a fallback for every item type not specified. If an item type is mapped to None no fallback occurs, instead the JIRA-backend will use its default batch-size. By default all Resources will be queried in batches of 100. E.g., setting this to {Issue: 500, Resource: None} will make search_issues() query Issues in batches of 500, while every other item type’s batch-size will be controlled by the backend. (Default: None)

property server_url: str#

Return the server url.

Returns:: str

close()[source]#

client_info() → str[source]#: Get the server this client is connected to.

find(resource_format: str, ids: tuple[str, str] | int | str = '') → Resource[source]#

Find Resource object for any addressable resource on the server.

This method is a universal resource locator for any REST-ful resource in Jira. The argument resource_format is a string of the form resource, resource/{0}, resource/{0}/sub, resource/{0}/sub/{1}, etc. The format placeholders will be populated from the ids argument if present. The existing authentication session will be used.

The return value is an untyped Resource object, which will not support specialized Resource.update() or Resource.delete() behavior. Moreover, it will not know to return an issue Resource if the client uses the resource issue path. For this reason, it is intended to support resources that are not included in the standard Atlassian REST API.

Parameters:

resource_format (str) – the subpath to the resource string
ids (Optional[Tuple]) – values to substitute in the resource_format string

Returns:

Resource

Parameters:

issue (Union[str, int]) – the issue to attach the attachment to
attachment (Union[str,BufferedReader]) – file-like object to attach to the issue, also works if it is a string with the filename.

By default, the client will immediately reload the issue Resource created by this method in order to return a complete Issue object to the caller; this behavior can be controlled through the ‘prefetch’ argument.

Jira projects may contain many different issue types. Some issue screens have different requirements for fields in a new issue. This information is available through the ‘createmeta’ set of methods. Further examples are available here: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+REST+API+Example+-+Create+Issue

Parameters:

fields (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – a dict containing field names and the values to use. If present, all other keyword arguments will be ignored

create_temp_project_avatar(project: str, filename: str, size: int, avatar_img: bytes, contentType: str = None, auto_confirm: bool = False)[source]#

The avatar created is temporary and must be confirmed before it can be used.

Avatar images are specified by a filename, size, and file object. By default, the client will attempt to autodetect the picture’s content type this mechanism relies on libmagic and will not work out of the box on Windows systems (see Their Documentation for details on how to install support).

The contentType argument can be used to explicitly set the value (note that Jira will reject any type other than the well-known ones for images, e.g. image/jpg, image/png, etc.)

This method returns a dict of properties that can be used to crop a subarea of a larger image for use. This dict should be saved and passed to confirm_project_avatar() to finish the avatar creation process. If you want to cut out the middleman and confirm the avatar with Jira’s default cropping, pass the ‘auto_confirm’ argument with a truthy value and confirm_project_avatar() will be called for you before this method returns.

Parameters:

project (str) – ID or key of the project to create the avatar in
filename (str) – name of the avatar file
size (int) – size of the avatar file
avatar_img (bytes) – file-like object holding the avatar
contentType (str) – explicit specification for the avatar image’s content-type
auto_confirm (bool) – True to automatically confirm the temporary avatar by calling confirm_project_avatar() with the return value of this method. (Default: False)

confirm_project_avatar(project: str, cropping_properties: dict[str, Any])[source]#

Confirm the temporary avatar image previously uploaded with the specified cropping.

After a successful registry with create_temp_project_avatar(), use this method to confirm the avatar for use. The final avatar can be a subarea of the uploaded image, which is customized with the cropping_properties: the return value of create_temp_project_avatar() should be used for this argument.

Parameters:

project (str) – ID or key of the project to confirm the avatar in
cropping_properties (Dict[str,Any]) – a dict of cropping properties from create_temp_project_avatar()

6.1.6. jira.resources module#

jira.client.ResourceType = alias of TypeVar(‘ResourceType’, contravariant=True, bound=jira.resources.Resource)#

Type variable.

Usage:

T = TypeVar('T')  # Can be anything
A = TypeVar('A', str, bytes)  # Must be str or bytes

Type variables exist primarily for the benefit of static type checkers. They serve as the parameters for generic types as well as for generic function definitions. See class Generic for more information on generic types. Generic functions work as follows:

def repeat(x: T, n: int) -> List[T]:
‘’’Return a list containing n references to x.’’’ return [x]*n

def longest(x: A, y: A) -> A:
‘’’Return the longest of two strings.’’’ return x if len(x) >= len(y) else y

The latter example’s signature is essentially the overloading of (str, str) -> str and (bytes, bytes) -> bytes. Also note that if the arguments are instances of some subclass of str, the return type is still plain str.

At runtime, isinstance(x, T) and issubclass(C, T) will raise TypeError.

Type variables defined with covariant=True or contravariant=True can be used to declare covariant or contravariant generic types. See PEP 484 for more details. By default generic types are invariant in all type variables.

Type variables can be introspected. e.g.:

T.__name__ == ‘T’ T.__constraints__ == () T.__covariant__ == False T.__contravariant__ = False A.__constraints__ == (str, bytes)

Note that only type variables defined in global scope can be pickled.

Jira resource definitions.

This module implements the Resource classes that translate JSON from Jira REST resources into usable objects.

class jira.resources.Resource(resource: str, options: dict[str, Any], session: ResilientSession, base_url: str = '{server}/rest/{rest_path}/{rest_api_version}/{path}')[source]#

Bases: object

Models a URL-addressable resource in the Jira REST API.

All Resource objects provide the following: find() – get a resource from the server and load it into the current object (though clients should use the methods in the JIRA class instead of this method directly) update() – changes the value of this resource on the server and returns a new resource object for it delete() – deletes this resource from the server self – the URL of this resource on the server raw – dict of properties parsed out of the JSON response from the server

Subclasses will implement update() and delete() as appropriate for the specific resource.

All Resources have a resource path of the form:

issue
project/{0}
issue/{0}/votes
issue/{0}/comment/{1}

where the bracketed numerals are placeholders for ID values that are filled in from the ids parameter to find().

JIRA_BASE_URL = '{server}/rest/{rest_path}/{rest_api_version}/{path}'#

_READABLE_IDS = ('displayName', 'key', 'name', 'accountId', 'filename', 'value', 'scope', 'votes', 'id', 'mimeType', 'closed')#

_HASH_IDS = ('self', 'type', 'key', 'id', 'name')#

6.1.7. jira.utils module#

Jira utils used internally.

class jira.utils.CaseInsensitiveDict(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: CaseInsensitiveDict

A case-insensitive dict-like object.

DEPRECATED: use requests.structures.CaseInsensitiveDict directly.

Implements all methods and operations of collections.MutableMapping as well as dict’s copy. Also provides lower_items.

All keys are expected to be strings. The structure remembers the case of the last key to be set, and iter(instance), keys(), items(), iterkeys() will contain case-sensitive keys. However, querying and contains testing is case insensitive:

cid = CaseInsensitiveDict()
cid['Accept'] = 'application/json'
cid['accept'] == 'application/json'  # True
list(cid) == ['Accept']  # True

For example, headers['content-encoding'] will return the value of a 'Content-Encoding' response header, regardless of how the header name was originally stored.

If the constructor, .update, or equality comparison operations are given keys that have equal .lower() s, the behavior is undefined.
