Jira API gem for Ruby on Rails?

Question

Do you know any Jira4R alternatives for RoR (Ruby 1.9.x and Rails 3.2.x)?

Jira4R is almost dead (most of download/repo links on Codehaus site are dead) and its API is very non-ruby style (I mean usage logic, method names, etc.)

Answer 1

https://github.com/Marketcircle/jiraSOAP was supposed to continue where Jira4R left off (SOAP). The SOAP API will not be developed further by Atlassian, REST will (https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+Remote+API+Reference).

Supporting the REST API there are basically two gems:

• https://github.com/trineo/jira-ruby (which does only OAuth - doesn't work with hosted JIRA)
• https://github.com/jstewart/jiralicious which seems to support simple user authentication
