Print url of an issue or list of issues

[mohit2152sharma]

I can view my issues with the following command jira issue list -a$(jira me). I want to get the link (url) of each issue programmatically. I know that information is available somewhere as I can open the link of an issue in browser when I hit Enter. Just wanted to know, what would be the way to extract that url, so that I can use the url in other shell functions.

Any help is appreciated, as I tried several things, but to no avail.

• jira issue list seems to have no column for it.
• I do not see a way to get jira issue view to print the URL.
• jira serverinfo does not seem to have a way to print the server prefix.

Any help appreciated.

Hi @mohit2152sharma @olivergondza, its not possible to get url from the list command. However building the issue url is pretty straightforward (example script below).

#!/usr/bin/env bash

HOST=https://jira.server
TICKETS=$(jira issue list --plain --no-headers --columns=KEY)

for ticket in ${TICKETS}
do
  echo "${HOST}/browse/${ticket}"
done

Does this work for your usecase?

[mohit2152sharma]

yeah, I figured and doing something similar at the moment. But I thought (and hoped) that there was some command to get the url, as it is already available in some contexts. For example, if I open a list of issues in the viewer, there is a command to copy the issue url to clipboard.
Is this something planned for future?

There is an open command which I completely forgot about even though I almost use it daily 😬

$ jira open --help
Open opens issue in a browser. If the issue key is not given, it will open the project page.

$ jira open ISS-123 --no-browser
https://jira.server/browse/ISS-123

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.

Ah, have not thought of that. Thanks!
