Nodejs Post attachment to JIRA - node.js

Question

I am receiving http POST response OK 200, but I see no file present on JIRA issue. From my research I can understand that it could be some problem with formData I am sending with request. Below is my code:
var newBuffer = new Buffer(req.Payload, 'base64');
var myReadableStreamBuffer = new streamBuffers.ReadableStreamBuffer({
frequency: 10, // in milliseconds.
chunkSize: 2048 // in bytes.
});
// With a buffer
myReadableStreamBuffer.put(newBuffer);
var formData = {
'file': {
'content': myReadableStreamBuffer,
'filename': req.FileName,
'mimeType': req.MimeType //mimeType from JSON
}
};
var options = {
url: 'https://comapny.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/' + req.ReferenceId + '/attachments',
method: "POST",
json: true,
headers: {
'ContentType': 'multipart/form-data',
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + new Buffer(config.jira.jiraUser.userName + ':' + config.jira.jiraUser.password).toString('base64'),
'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck'
},
formData: JSON.stringify(formData)
};
request(options,
function (error, response, body) {
if (error) {
errorlog.error(`Error Message : PostAttachmentToCSMS : ${error}`);
return response.statusCode;
}
else {
successlog.info(`Attachment posted for issue Key: ${req.ReferenceId} ${response.statusMessage}`);
return response.statusCode;
}
});
I can write file from myReadableStreamBuffer, so that seems ok. Please help me to identify the problem. Many thanks!

Answer 1

After spending some more time on it, I have found the correct format for formData:
var newBuffer = new Buffer(req.Payload, 'base64');
var formData = {
file: {
value: newBuffer,
options: {
filename: req.FileName,
contentType: req.MimeType
}
}
};

For whom like me getting errors with this API.
After struggling so many hrs on this thing, I finally found this works like a charm. I've got "XSRF check failed" 403/404 error message before writing this code.
// Don't change the structure of formData.
const formData = {
file: {
value: fs.createReadStream(filepath),
options: {
filename: filename,
contentType: "multipart/form-data"
}
}
};
const header = {
"Authentication": "Basic xxx",
// ** IMPORTANT **
// "Use of the 'nocheck' value for X-Atlassian-Token
// has been deprecated since rest 3.0.0.
// Please use a value of 'no-check' instead."
"X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check",
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"
}
const options = {
url: "http://[your_jira_server]/rest/api/2/issue/[issueId]/attachments",
headers: header,
method: "POST",
formData: formData
};
const req = request(options, function(err, httpResponse, body) {
whatever_you_want;
};

I was able to post attachments to JIRA using axios in the following way:
const axios = require('axios');
const FormData = require('form-data')
const fs = require('fs');
const url = 'http://[your_jira_server]/rest/api/2/issue/[issueId]/attachments';
let data = new FormData();
data.append('file', fs.createReadStream('put image path here'));
var config = {
method: 'post',
url: url,
headers: {
'X-Atlassian-Token': 'no-check',
'Authorization': 'Basic',
...data.getHeaders()
},
data: data,
auth: {
username: '',
password: ''
}
};
axios(config)
.then(function (response) {
res.send({
JSON.stringify(response.data, 0, 2)
});
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
