jira: Unable to add issues to epic after update 3.0.1 -> 3.1.1

Bug summary

Exception when trying to add issues to an epic:

  File "/home/valentijn/dd/dojo/jira_link/helper.py", line 580, in add_jira_issue_for_finding
    return add_jira_issue(finding, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/home/valentijn/dd/dojo/jira_link/helper.py", line 695, in add_jira_issue
    add_issues_to_epic(jira, obj, epic_id=epic.jira_id, issue_keys=[str(new_issue.id)], ignore_epics=True)
  File "/home/valentijn/dd/dojo/jira_link/helper.py", line 565, in add_issues_to_epic
    return jira.add_issues_to_epic(epic_id=epic_id, issue_keys=issue_keys, ignore_epics=ignore_epics)
  File "/home/valentijn/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jira/client.py", line 4768, in add_issues_to_epic
    raise NotImplementedError(
NotImplementedError: Jira Agile Public API does not support this request

Used to work in 3.0.1 and I think this a supported operation. Could it have to do something with the changes made in https://github.com/pycontribs/jira/pull/1186 ?

There’s some code referring to the old value of agile_rest_path it seems?

if (
            self._options["agile_rest_path"]
            != GreenHopperResource.GREENHOPPER_REST_PATH
        ):
            # TODO(ssbarnea): simulate functionality using issue.update()?
            raise NotImplementedError(
                "Jira Agile Public API does not support this request"
            )

Is there an existing issue for this?

FWIW we already subclass jira.JIRA in order to add some other helper methods and the like, so we’ve solved this by overriding the method as follows:

class JiraService(JIRA):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def add_issues_to_epic(self, epic_key, issue_keys):
        data = {"issues": issue_keys}
        url = self._get_url(f"epic/{epic_key}/issue", base=self.AGILE_BASE_URL)
        response = self._session.post(url, data=json.dumps(data))
        return response

(note: lots of additional code related to auth and logging removed for clarity’s sake in this example.)

That’s correct

Can confirm that add_issues_to_epic works in 3.0.1 but is not working in 3.1.1. Manually this endpoint seems to working fine: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/api-group-epic/#api-agile-1-0-epic-epicidorkey-issue-get
