gh-action-jira-search

Run JQL in a GitHub action to find a specific Jira issue key.

Authentication

To provide a URL and credentials you can use the gajira-login action, which will write a config file this action can read. Alternatively, you can set some environment variables:

• JIRA_BASE_URL - e.g. https://my-org.atlassian.net. The URL for your Jira instance.
• JIRA_API_TOKEN - e.g. iaJGSyaXqn95kqYvq3rcEGu884TCbMkU. An access token.
• JIRA_USER_EMAIL - e.g. [email protected]. The email address for the access token.

Inputs

• jql - JQL query that returns at most 1 issue

Outputs

The action will exit with a zero exit code unless it encounters any errors or finds more than 1 issue.

• issue - The issue key found, e.g. TEST-23. Empty if none.
