Question

I’m working on a ruby on rails app which connects to Jira through jira soap. I browsed through the Jira SOAP API documentation but could not figure out a way to log time for an issue. What method(s) do I’ve to use to allow users to log time for some issue?

Answer 1

addWorklogAndAutoAdjustRemainingEstimate is the one I’m using in my scripts

This is a snippet of python code that might be useful to you:

d = datetime.datetime.now()
timestamp = "%s-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:00+01:00"%(d.year,d.month,d.day,d.hour,d.minute);

log = self.client.factory.create("ns0:RemoteWorklog")
log.comment = comment # a string
log.timeSpent = time # in the usual format (2h30m )
log.startDate = timestamp

# task is the name of the tast (a string)
self.client.service.addWorklogAndAutoAdjustRemainingEstimate(self.auth,task,log)
