JIRA 5 API Gem

This gem provides access to the Atlassian JIRA version 5 REST API (a.k.a REST API version 2) using HTTP Basic Auth. If you want OAuth instead, please have a look at the original repo at github.com/trineo/jira-ruby.

Example usage

client = JIRA::Client.new({ :site => URL, :username => USERNAME, :password => PASSWORD })

project = client.Project.find('SAMPLEPROJECT')

project.issues.each do |issue|
  puts "#{issue.id} - #{issue.summary}"
end

issue.comments.each {|comment| ... }

comment = issue.comments.build({'body':'My new comment'})
comment.save
comment.delete

Setting up the JIRA SDK

On Mac OS,

brew install atlassian-plugin-sdk

Otherwise:

• Download the SDK from developer.atlassian.com/ (You will need an Atlassian login for this)

• Unpack the dowloaded archive

• From within the archive directory, run:

  ./bin/atlas-run-standalone --product jira --version 5.0-rc2

Once this is running, you should be able to connect to localhost:2990/ and login to the JIRA admin system using ‘admin:admin`

You’ll need to create a dummy project and probably some issues to test using this library.
