JIRA + Savon + Ruby issues - ruby

Question

I am trying to get my new application integrated with JIRA for management of our customer's support tickets. What I had envisioned the system doing was in a before_filter gathering a user's account from within JIRA - from that I can pull up a list of accounts and what not, and if they don't have one then we create one based on their details in the Rails application. Thing is I'm having major issues doing things like removing the user from the jira-users group and adding them to a separate group I have for customers called customer-support. This is the code I have currently:
def current_jira_user
# Fetch the current user in JIRA, if we don't exist, create it!
user_try = #jira.request :get_user do |soap|
soap.body = { :token => #token, :username => "#{current_user.username}" }
end
if user_try.to_hash[:get_user_response][:get_user_return][:href].nil?
# We need to create the user
#jira.request :create_user do |soap|
soap.body = {
:token => #token,
:username => "#{current_user.username}",
:password => UUID.new.to_s,
:fullName => current_user.full_name,
:email => "noreply#XXXXX.XXX" #this is such a hack to get around JIRA's "you've got an account" email
}
end
new_user = RemoteUser.find(current_user.username)
#jira.request :remove_user_from_group do |soap|
soap.body = { :token => #token, :group => RemoteGroup.find('jira-users'), :ruser => new_user }
end
#jira.request :add_user_to_group do |soap|
soap.body = { :token => #token, :group => RemoteGroup.find('customer-support'), :ruser => new_user }
end
new_user[:email] = current_user.email
#jira.request :update_user do |soap| # change their email to the valid one
soap.body = { :token => #token, :ruser => new_user }
end
new_user
else
user_try.to_hash[:get_user_response][:get_user_return]
end
end
def verify_jira_connection
# Verify that we can reach the JIRA instance
#jira = Savon::Client.new do
wsdl.document = JIRA_SOAP_URI
end
#jira.http.read_timeout = 300
#jira.http.auth.ssl.verify_mode = :none
#auth = #jira.request :login do |soap|
soap.body = { :username => JIRA_LOGIN, :password => JIRA_PASSWORD }
end
#token = #auth.to_hash[:login_response][:login_return]
end
## REMOTE CLASSES
class RemoteUser
include Savon::Model
client do
http.headers["Pragma"] = "no-cache"
http.auth.ssl.verify_mode = :none
end
namespace "http://beans.soap.rpc.jira.atlassian.com"
endpoint JIRA_SOAP_URI
basic_auth JIRA_LOGIN, JIRA_PASSWORD
actions :get_user
def self.find(username)
get_user(:username => username).to_hash
end
end
class RemoteGroup
include Savon::Model
client do
http.headers["Pragma"] = "no-cache"
http.auth.ssl.verify_mode = :none
end
namespace "http://beans.soap.rpc.jira.atlassian.com"
endpoint JIRA_SOAP_URI
basic_auth JIRA_LOGIN, JIRA_PASSWORD
actions :get_group
def self.find(group)
get_group(:groupName => group).to_hash
end
end
Users are created just fine, but when I get to the removeUserFromGroup call, I get (soapenv:Server.userException) com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception.RemoteValidationException: group name cannot be null, needs a value. Using the Jira4R gem is out thanks to our using Ruby 1.9.2. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe you need to explicitly send the name?
:group => RemoteGroup.find('jira-users').name
instead of this
:group => RemoteGroup.find('jira-users')
If you were willing to do some rewriting, you could try using a Ruby 1.9-compatible fork of jira4r
