A javascript rest api example for adding a JIRA comment text with a png image or just a image file in comments

[Neeraj Bodhe]

i am trying the following code for achieving this purpose through nodejs but my node app crashes. The same set of code when tried for attaching a file to the issue by changing it's rest url, works fine. Can anyone provide me a code snippet by which i can achieve my solution.

var httpClient = addon.httpClient({
clientKey: req.session.clientKey,
userKey: userkey,
appKey: addon.key
});

httpClient.post({
url: '/rest/api/2/issue/issue-key/comment',
headers: {
'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck',

},
form: {
file: [
fileData,
{
filename: 'pngImage.png',
contentType: 'image/png'
}
]
}
}, function(err, callbackRes, body) {
res.render('display', body);
});

Hi Neeraj,

I do not believe you can add a comment with binary data. I think you will need to upload the image as an attachment and then reference it in the comment body.

Thanks for ur reply seb. As u described i think i wud have to use the image that is already attached to the JIRA issue, by using the markup !image.png!
At present, i am facing some silly problem with my post comment rest code, i am facing the error " errorMessages: No content to map to Object due to end of input "
Can someone tell me what exactly am i doing wrong here. Below is my code snippet.

var httpClient = addon.httpClient({
clientKey: req.session.clientKey,
userKey: userkey,
appKey: addon.key
});

httpClient.post({
url: '/rest/api/2/issue/issue-key/comment',
headers: {
'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck',

'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'
},
data: {
"body":"This is a my comment through rest api",
}

}, function(err, callbackRes, body) {
console.log( "body:" + JSON.stringify(body) + " callbackRes : " + JSON.stringify(callbackRes));
});

Neeraj,

The issue seems to be that you are setting a JS object into the 'data' attribute. You would need to set the serialized JSON string there. There is an easier way, though, which also takes care of the Content-type header: Use the 'json' attribute instead of the 'data' attribute. The sample below works:

      httpClient.post(

        {

          url: '/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-1/comment',

          headers: {

            'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck'

          },

          json: {

            'body': 'This comment was created through the rest api'

          }

        },

        function (err, res, body) {

          console.log(body)

        }

      );

Regards,

Patrick
