I’m having trouble with the Jira web service in version 4.01. I’m trying to use the getIssuesFromJqlSearch method to run a JQL query, but I keep getting an error saying this operation doesn’t exist. Does anyone know if this method is available in Jira 4.01?
My main goal is to fetch all issues from a specific project without creating filters first. I thought getIssuesFromJqlSearch would be a good solution, but it’s not working. There’s no getIssuesFromProject method either, so I’m stuck.
I’ve considered using the RSS XML view with a URL jql statement as a workaround, but it’s not ideal. Has anyone found a good way to retrieve project issues in Jira 4.01 using the web service? Any tips or alternative approaches would be really helpful. Thanks!
hey grace, i had similar issues w/ that version. try using ‘getIssuesFromFilterWithLimit’ instead. it’s not as flexible as JQL but you can create a filter for your project and use that. if you need more help lmk, been there done that lol
I’ve encountered this problem in Jira 4.01 as well. The ‘getIssuesFromJqlSearch’ method wasn’t available in that version and was introduced later. For your case, you might consider using the ‘getIssues’ method with a project key. By passing an array containing your project key, you can retrieve all issues for that project without needing to create filters in advance. Although this method doesn’t offer the full flexibility of JQL, it should effectively serve for fetching issues from a specific project in Jira 4.01.
I’ve dealt with this exact issue in Jira 4.01. The ‘getIssuesFromJqlSearch’ method isn’t available in that version, which is frustrating. What worked for me was using a combination of ‘getProjectsNoSchemes’ to get the project ID and then ‘getIssuesFromTextSearchWithProject’ to fetch the issues. It’s not as elegant as JQL, but it gets the job done.
For the second method, you can use an empty string as the search parameter to grab all issues. Just be aware that if your project has a large number of issues, you might need to implement some pagination logic to avoid timeouts.
Also, don’t overlook the SOAP API documentation for 4.01. Sometimes there are methods available that aren’t well-documented in the main guides. It took me some digging, but I found several useful operations that way.
