search issue by JQL

[!TIP]

• Search for issues using JQL (GET)

• JQL: What is advanced search in Jira Cloud?

• How to get all issues by project key and issue type using REST api

• JQL pattern rule:

  1. remove all space

  2. %3D instead of =

  3. project=abc -> project%3Dabc

  4. %20CONDITION%20 instead of CONDITION

  5. AND -> %20AND%20

  6. OR -> %20OR%20

• * JQL operators

• REST API - 'order by' param is ignored

• What is advanced search in Jira Cloud?

• format JQL

  [!TIP]

  • * iMarslo: using jql to get URLEncodign

  $ jql='project = abc AND issuetype = release order by updated desc'
  $ jql=$(printf %s "${jql}" | jq -sRr @uri)

  $ jql="$(sed 's/ //g;s/AND/ AND /g;s/OR/ OR /g;s/IN/ IN /g;s/IS/ IS /g' <<< "${jql}")"
  $ jql="$(printf %s "${jql}" | jq -sRr @uri)"
  
  # i.e.:
  $ jql='project = abc AND issuetype = release'
  
  $ jql="$(sed 's/ //g;s/AND/ AND /g;s/OR/ OR /g;s/IN/ IN /g;s/IS/ IS /g' <<< "${jql}")"
  $ echo $jql
  project=abc AND issuetype=release
