Jira Python: Syntax error appears when trying to print

Question

from jira.client import jira

options = {'server': 'https://URL.com'}
jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=('username', 'password'))

issues = jira.search_issues('jqlquery')
for issue in issues:
    print issue

I want to print the output of the jql query.However, getting syntax error on the last line "issue".

Answer 1

The way to print the issue keys to your command prompt is:

from jira.client import jira

options = {'server': 'https://URL.com'}
jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=('username', 'password'))

issues = jira.search_issues('jqlquery')
for issue in issues:
    print issue

That will do it. However, you mention you get a syntax error for your JQL query, so you'll need to post that query to see what is wrong with it. Valid would be, for example if you want to find the issues you added label 'TEST' to in your previous question:

label = 'TEST'
issues = jira.search_issues('labels=' + str(label))

Or:

jqlquery = 'labels=TEST'
issues = jira.search_issues(jqlquery)
