BACKGROUND: I am attempting to create a relatively simple Ruby script to create issues in a Jira instance. I am using the Savon gem (http://savonrb.com/) to create the SOAP service.
ISSUE: When attempting to create an an issue that includes a custom field, I am getting the following exception...
com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception.RemoteValidationException: Custom field ID 'null' is invalid.
CODE:
require 'savon'
# Config
host = 'myjira.com'
username = 'myUsername'
password = 'myPassword'
project = 'myProject'
# Create soap client
client = Savon::Client.new('http://' + host + '/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2?wsdl')
# Get a token
login = client.request(:login) do |soap|
soap.body = {
:in0 => username,
:in1 => password
}
end
login = login.to_hash
token = login[:login_response][:login_return]
# Create issue
create_issue = client.request(:create_issue) do |soap|
soap.body = {
:in0 => token,
:in1 => {
:type => "1",
:project => project,
:summary => "Jira SOAP API Test #1",
:description => "This slip was created using Jira's SOAP API",
:components => {'Math' => {'id' => '16420', 'name' => 'Math'}},
:customFieldValues => [{'customfieldId' => 'customfield_11630', 'values' => ['estimate']}]
}
}
end
SOAP REQUEST XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:wsdl="http://10.160.100.25:8080/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2" xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ins0="http://beans.soap.rpc.jira.atlassian.com" xmlns:ins1="http://exception.rpc.jira.atlassian.com" xmlns:ins2="http://10.160.100.25:8080/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2">

<summary>Jira SOAP API Test #1</summary>
<description>This slip was created using Jira's SOAP API</description>

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong here? If anyone could provide a working example of a SOAP XML to create an issue with custom fields, that would be extemely helpful. Thanks in advance!
