yaml-to-jira

Create JIRA Issues using the REST API from YAML.

It takes time to write a good description for a JIRA task. If I loose focus of the tab, where I started creating ticket, all my work is gone. When writing these tickets in yaml, I can use my favorite text editor or IDE and send off the tickets to jira together.

Furthermore, I can even link together issues before they are created.

Usage

cat tickets.yml | y2j piped example-jira myUser myPassword

#tickets.yml
tasks:
  - component: example.com
    type: Task
    sprint: NEXT
    summary: another Todo
    assignee: username
    estimate: 4h
    ref: temporary-handle
    description:
      current situation: >-
        description of current situation
      requested situation: requested situation description
      notes: additional notes
  - component: example.com
    type: Bug
    sprint: NEXT
    summary: 500 instead of 404 on missing pages
    ref: 500
    description:
      current situation: >-
        500 status code on missing page
      requested situation: 404 status code on missing page
      notes: Test first.

See cypress/fixtures for more examples.
