# VDS JIRA Orchestrator

Python toolkit for JIRA operations using the `atlassian-python-api` SDK. Provides a unified CLI interface for issue
tracking, project management, and JIRA automation.

## Quick Start

```bash
cd WHO-project/vds-scripts
# Optional: sync all orchestrators once
./scripts/bootstrap_uv.sh

# Package-specific sync & tests
uv sync --project jira_orchestrator --extra dev
uv run --project jira_orchestrator pytest
```

Run the CLI directly (uv automatically loads the project environment once it has been synced at least once):

```bash
# Using uv run (console script)
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira --help

# Using the unified VDS CLI
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli env load
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search "project = NTTC" --limit 20
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search "project = NTTC" --limit 20 --json-only
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira issue NTTC-123
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira projects --limit 50
```

**Agent-friendly output**
- When using `vds-cli`, put Typer flags after `--` (e.g. `vds-cli jira -- --json-only projects`).
- `--json-only` emits clean JSON only (no reports/markdown, logs suppressed).
- `--no-reports` keeps normal console output but avoids writing report files.

## Available Commands

### Read Operations

- **`projects`** - List all JIRA projects

  ```bash
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira projects --limit 50
  # Optional filters:
  #   --search "keyword"   (matches name or key, case-insensitive)
  #   --limit 10           (applied after filtering)
  ```

- **`search`** - Search issues using JQL

  ```bash
  # Basic search
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search "project = NTTC AND status = Open" --limit 50
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search "assignee = currentUser()" --fields "summary,status,priority"

  # Advanced search with pagination
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search "project = NTTC" --advanced --start 10 --limit 25
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search "project = NTTC" --start 0 --limit 50 --fields "summary,status"
  ```

  > **Cloud requirement**: Atlassian's May 2025 change requires `enhanced_jql` for all Cloud tenants. The CLI detects
  > `*.atlassian.net` base URLs and automatically routes searches through the enhanced endpoint (see announcement:
  > <https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-migration/docs/changes-to-search-api-july-2024/>).\
  > **Advanced search**: Use `--advanced` flag or `--start` parameter to enable pagination support. The `--start`
  > parameter automatically enables advanced search mode.

- **`search-by-filter`** - Search issues using a saved filter

  ```bash
  # Search using filter ID
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search-by-filter 10000 --limit 50

  # Search with pagination
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira search-by-filter 10000 --start 20 --limit 25 --fields "summary,status,priority"
  ```

  > **Note**: Uses the JQL from the saved filter to perform the search. Supports pagination and field selection.

- **`issue`** - Get issue details

  ```bash
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira issue NTTC-123
  ```

- **`bulk-update`** - Bulk update multiple issues

  ```bash
  # Bulk update with JSON fields
  uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira bulk-update \
    --issue-keys "NTTC-1,NTTC-2,NTTC-3" \
    --fields '{"summary":"Updated summary"}' \
    --yes

  # Bulk update with fields file

    --issue-keys "NTTC-1,NTTC-2" \
    --yes
  ```

  > **Notes**:
  >
  > - Requires `--yes` flag for confirmation
  > - `--fields` accepts JSON string or `"*all"` (default) for all fields
  > - `--fields-file` accepts a JSON file containing field updates
  > - Multiple issue keys should be comma-separated

- **`field-append`** - Append value to issue field (for multi-select fields)

  ```bash

    --yes
  ```

  ```

## Working with Custom Fields

### Discovering Fields

When creating issues, you may need to provide mandatory custom fields. Use `discover-fields` to find the correct IDs and allowed values for your project and issue type. By default, it returns custom fields only; use `--include-system` to include system fields.

```bash
# List custom fields for a project/issuetype (default)
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira discover-fields --project NTTC --issuetype Task

# Include system fields
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira discover-fields --project NTTC --issuetype Task --include-system

# Filter for a specific field name or ID
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira discover-fields --project NTTC --issuetype Task --field "Vai trò"

# Fallback to editmeta using an existing issue key
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira discover-fields --project NTTC --issuetype Task --issue-key NTTC-123
```

**Output Example:**
```json
{
  "project": "NTTC",
  "issueType": "Task",
  "count": 1,
  "duration_ms": 1035,
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "customfield_15200",
      "name": "Vai trò - Công đoạn",
      "required": true,
      "type": "option-with-child",
      "is_custom": true,
      "allowedValues": [
        {"id": "14901", "value": "SA"},
        {"id": "14902", "value": "BA"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

`duration_ms` captures how long field discovery took and is used for performance warnings.

### Providing Complex Values

Some custom fields (like dropdowns, cascading selects) require a JSON object structure rather than a simple string. The `--set` parameter supports JSON values.

**Syntax:** `--set 'field_id={"key": "value"}'`

**Note:** By default, `--set` only parses JSON objects/arrays. Use `--set-json` if you need scalar JSON values (e.g., `true`, `1`, `null`).

**Examples:**

1.  **Select List (Single Choice):**
    ```bash
    --set 'customfield_15200={"value": "SA"}'
    ```

2.  **Select List (Multiple Choice):**
    ```bash
    --set 'customfield_12345=[{"value": "Option A"}, {"value": "Option B"}]'
    ```

3.  **Cascading Select:**
    ```bash
    --set 'customfield_98765={"value": "Parent Option", "child": {"value": "Child Option"}}'
    ```

### Validation (Dry Run)

Use the `--dry-run` flag to validate your payload and check for missing required fields without creating a ticket.

```bash
uv run --directory ~/.claude/vds-scripts --package vds_cli vds-cli jira create \
  --project NTTC \
  --issuetype Task \
  --summary "Test Ticket" \
  --dry-run
```

**Output:**
```text
[DRY RUN] Validating payload for NTTC / Task...
[DRY RUN] ⚠️  Warning: The following REQUIRED fields appear missing:
  - Vai trò - Công đoạn (customfield_15200)
Tip: Use --set to provide them.
```

The JSON response also includes `field_name_map` to help map field IDs to display names.

## Configuration

The orchestrator uses environment variables from the shared VDS env file:

```bash
# Required for authentication
VDS_USERNAME=your-username
VDS_PASSWORD=your-password

# Optional: Use token instead of username/password
JIRA_TOKEN=your-api-token

# JIRA base URL (defaults to https://jira.digital.vn)
JIRA_BASE_URL=https://jira.digital.vn
```

## Project Layout

from vds_jira_orchestrator.config import JiraSettings

settings = JiraSettings()
adapter = JiraAdapter(
    url=str(settings.base_url),
    username=settings.username,
    password=settings.password
)
issues = adapter.jql("project = NTTC", limit=100)
```

## Run Reports

Run reports are written to `WHO-project/vds-scripts/reports/jira_runs/YYYY/MM/DD/<timestamp>.json` (plus Markdown unless
`--no-markdown` is used).

## Linting

We use Ruff for linting/formatting:

```bash
uv run --extra dev ruff check
uv run --extra dev ruff format
```

## Testing

```bash
# Run all tests
uv run --extra dev pytest

# Run specific test file
uv run --extra dev pytest tests/test_cli.py

# Run with coverage
uv run --extra dev pytest --cov=src/vds_jira_orchestrator
```
