Python & The Jira Rest API
Recently, while having to work a lot more in Jira than normal I got annoyed with the Jira Web GUI. So I wrote a script to do simple management of our jira issues.
Here is the basic usage
(env) ➜ jira git:(master) ✗ ./jira-ctl.py
usage: jira-ctl.py [-h] [-lp] [-li LIST_PROJECT_ISSUES] [-ua UPDATE_ASSIGNEE]
[-ud UPDATE_DATE] [-usts UPDATE_STATUS]
[-usum UPDATE_SUMMARY]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-lp, --list-projects List all projects
-li LIST_PROJECT_ISSUES, --list-issues LIST_PROJECT_ISSUES
List Issues for a specific project
-ua UPDATE_ASSIGNEE, --update-assignee UPDATE_ASSIGNEE
Update an issues assignee format: <issue
number>,<first_last>
-ud UPDATE_DATE, --update-date UPDATE_DATE
Update an issues due date format: <issue number
>,<yyyy-mm-dd>
-usts UPDATE_STATUS, --update-status UPDATE_STATUS
Update an issues status format: <issue
number>,'<Open|In Progress|Resolved>'
-usum UPDATE_SUMMARY, --update-summary UPDATE_SUMMARY
Update an issues summary format: <issue
number>,'<summary>'
(env) ➜ jira git:(master) ✗
Here is the code…
from jira.client import JIRA
import os, sys
import prettytable
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-lp', '--list-projects', action="store_true", dest="list_projects", required=False, help="List all projects")

def list_projects():

Later, I found out that there is a Jira command line utility, I didn’t check and see what functionality it provided, but I enjoyed writing this anyway.
Happy coding !
