✗ Unable to generate configuration: board not found
  Boards available for the project 'COCO' are 'None'

Within FireFox, I can directly open the page: https://jira.robotics.a2z.com/rest/agile/1.0/board?projectKeyOrId=COCO . The raw truncated data results are

{"maxResults":50,"startAt":0,"total":8,"isLast":true,"values":[...{"id":206,"self":"https://jira.robotics.a2z.com/rest/agile/1.0/board/206","name":"Movement CoCo Team","type":"scrum"},...]}

Expected behavior

The Jira CLI tool is able to display the various boards.

Additional context

[ankitpokhrel]

This seems unusual. The API response seems fine. We're validating the board by its name internally so I was wondering if there could be an extra spaces, special characters, or something similar in the board name?

Thanks Ankit

If I do not supply a board, the list of board available is None:

% jira setup --debug --installation local --server https://jira.robotics.a2z.com --login [email protected] --auth-type bearer --project COCO

...
? Default board:  [Use arrows to move, type to filter, ? for more help]
> None

This makes me believe the issue isn't specific to the board. For sanity, I also copied&pasted the board name directly from the output attained by visiting the endpoint in a browser

If I run jira init and chose None as my default board, I can then use the tool to list all boards in the project. This fails too:

% jira boards list
Error: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

I'm having a similar issue. For some reason, API requests that use projectKeyOrId return a smaller subset of results, whereas those that use the seemingly-undocumented project return all available results. In other words, query https://foobar.atlassian.net/rest/agile/1.0/board?projectKeyOrId=GOT yields:

  "maxResults": 50,
  "startAt": 0,
  "total": 34,
  "isLast": true,

whereas https://foobar.atlassian.net/rest/agile/1.0/board?project=GOT gives us:

  "maxResults": 50,
  "startAt": 0,
  "total": 88,
  "isLast": false,

I can offer no explanation for this behaviour, except it seems Jira wants us to use the former, even when boards that are clearly assigned to the project are omitted? If I change jira-cli to use the latter parameter, and add support for pagination, it seems to work just fine. I'd be happy to submit a PR if that was thought to be useful.
