I encountered a similar problem when trying to upload PNG files through a Python script. I found that apart from making sure the path is correctly formatted, verifying file read permissions and confirming the file is not locked by another process helped resolve the issue. I also checked if the Python module in use was fully compatible with the version of JIRA I was working with, as incompatibilities sometimes resulted in upload failures. Experimenting with minor adjustments in file handling in the script ultimately led to a solution that ensured smooth attachment uploads.

hey, try using a raw string like r’c:\img.png’. might fix escaping issues on windows. also check the file existance and read permissions.

In my experience, I’ve encountered similar issues while uploading PNG files using Python. After experimenting with different approaches, I found that ensuring the right file path formatting, even when using full paths on Windows, is crucial. I resolved my problem by confirming that the library I used was fully compatible with the version of JIRA and by switching the file path syntax to use forward slashes. Moreover, I verified that the file was accessible and not locked by another process, which ultimately eliminated the upload error.
