@randyho-kk that's the wrong API :) This library uses v2 of the JIRA api.

I'd also really like the ability add an attachment, and a method exists for (addAttachementToIssue - https://github.com/jira-node/node-jira-client/blob/master/src/jira.js#L1559).

Unfortunately I don't have the file on the FS (and I don't intend to put it there) and I can't get it work by turning a string into a stream, eg.

Readable = require('stream').Readable
...
# standard Jira setup, known to work because I do a bunch of other stuff just fine
...
var message = 'this should work :(';
Jira.addAttachmentOnIssue(issue.id, Readable.from(message));

This gets me a 500 error from the server due to EOF

java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase$IOFileUploadException: Processing of multipart/form-data request failed. Stream ended unexpectedly

Followed by a standard java stack trace, not so useful in this context. I'm on a version of node where this should work

# node --version
v16.18.1

FWIW in another project I have successfully added attachments using the servicedesk API (/rest/servicedeskapi/request/#{id}/attachment), but I built the request myself - I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Edit: this actually works if you use fs.getReadStream('/path/to/file'); so there's something different about this stream than that created by Readable.from :(

Solved by adding a path property to the created stream which appears to be used as the filename of the attachment in JIRA.

Readable = require('stream').Readable
...
# standard Jira setup
...
var message = 'this now works, yay, and :(';
var stream = Readable.from(message);
stream.path = 'file-name-in-jira.ext';
Jira.addAttachmentOnIssue(issue.id, stream);
