Jira integration no longer works with Jira 9.16.1 using Gitlab 17.0.2

Hello,

So I used to be able to use the built-in Jira integration, but it seems as though it’s now currently broken since Gitlab 16.9.8 after I upgraded and it still continues to not integrate with Jira anymore.

When I did gitlab-ctl tail and took a look at the logs, I get this particular response back. Obviously I have redacted all of the sensitive information.

So just looking at that error message, I did do a little bit of digging since I do have a PHP script I wrote that does a cURL request against the Jira API itself. So my PHP script does a basic Jira search and it no longer was working ever since I upgraded to Jira 9.16.1 from 9.15.2. When I looked at the request it sent back, I was also seeing 500 internal server error. After I messing around with the Jira query some more, I was able to get my PHP script working with the Jira search by just adding the fields field in my API call.

So point here is, is that also happening with the Jira integration Ruby file as well? Does it need to be updated to account for the new way that Jira is doing things? I’m not a Ruby developer so I wouldn’t know what to change. All I know is that I was able to authenticate to Jira from Gitlab prior to upgrading Gitlab to 16.9.8 and upgrading Jira to 9.16.1 and then post my commits to my Jira tickets in the comments on a Git push. I can no longer do that since I keep hitting this 500 internal server error trying to reach my Jira’s API.

Hello? I’m still having this issue. Is anyone on the development team aware of this? Seems like with newer Jira versions, you’re required to add in more fields where as in older Jira versions, you didn’t. Seems like Gitlab might be hitting that endpoint where it requires more fields or updated fields to be selected. I can’t test to see if that’s accurate because I don’t know what JSON object and configurations Gitlab attempts to send to Jira’s comment section in the Jira tickets.

Solved my issue by reinstalling Jira and as well as upgrading to the latest Gitlab version.

Are you at version 17.4.2 in Gitlab now?

No. I’m on 17.5.1 for Gitlab and it’s working for me.
