JIRA C# SDK Connecting to JIRA

Question

I'm using the Atlassian SDK from the following location: https://bitbucket.org/farmas/atlassian.net-sdk

Right now, I'm simply trying to connect to my JIRA and just bring down some basic information like my tasks. Doing a quick google I found the following example: https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/762516/Connecting-to-Jira-using-Csharp

In the above link, he connects to JIRA using the following line:

Jira jiraConn = new Jira("http://yourjiraurl.com/", jUserID, jPassword);

But when I try the same line:

 Jira jira = new Jira(url, "admin", "password");

I get the following errors:

cannot convert from 'string' to 'Atlassian.Jira.ServiceLocator'

cannot convert from 'string' to 'Atlassian.Jira.JiraCredentials'

cannot convert from 'string' to 'Atlassian.Jira.JiraCache'

I've looked around to try and find some documentation on this, but I can't find anything relating to any of the 3 errors or what sort of syntax it is expecting. I would investigate the bitbucket more, but my works firewall has it blocked for unknown reasons.

Does anyone have any experience on combating these errors?

Answer 1

As the prototype for Jira is:

Jira(ServiceLocator services, JiraCredentials credentials = null, JiraCache cache = null)

Then the errors you are getting are correct (strings are not JiraCredentials). So either you need to create some credentials or you could use the other function:

public static Jira CreateRestClient(string url, string username = null, string password = null, JiraRestClientSettings settings = null)

So, something like:

Jira jira = Jira.CreateRestClient(url, "admin", "password");
