Jira

The robomotion jira CLI connects to Jira for issue and project management. It creates, reads, updates, and transitions issues; searches with JQL; adds comments; manages projects and issue types — covering the full issue lifecycle.

When to use

• Create, update, or transition Jira issues through workflow states
• Search issues using JQL queries
• Add comments and manage issue details
• List projects and issue types

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install jira
• Jira URL and API token (or OAuth) configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install jira
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion jira connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion jira create_issue --client-id "<client-id>" --project <proj> --summary <text> --issue-type <type> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion jira disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
