Transition issue not working

[saloni-canva]

I have tried the following code but it is not working for me. It does not show any error message either

jira = JIRA(
            url=f"{constants.URL}",
            username=f"{constants.JIRA_USERNAME}",
            password=f"{constants.JIRA_API_TOKEN}",
        )

print(f"BEFORE- ISSUE STATUS: {jira.get_issue_status(issue_key)}")
updated_status = 'In Progress'
print(f"updating status to: {updated_status}")
jira.issue_transition(issue_key, updated_status)
print(f"AFTER- ISSUE STATUS: {jira.get_issue_status(issue_key)}")

Output: BEFORE- ISSUE STATUS: To Do updating status to: In Progress AFTER- ISSUE STATUS: To Do

jira.set_issue_status(issue_key, updated_status) does not work either

Hi! could you try to use the transition id please ?

Hi @gonchik !

Unfortunately it did not work for me:

    print(f"BEFORE- ISSUE STATUS: {jira.get_issue_status(issue_key)}")
    updated_status = 'In Progress'
    transition_id = 121
    print(f"updating status to: {updated_status}")
    jira.set_issue_status_by_transition_id(issue_key, 121)
    print(f"AFTER- ISSUE STATUS: {jira.get_issue_status(issue_key)}")

If it helps, here is output from print(jira.get_issue_transitions(issue_key)): [{'name': 'In Progress', 'id': 121, 'to': 'In Progress'}, {'name': 'Approval Required', 'id': 131, 'to': 'Pending Approval'}]

I am also tracking here https://github.com/pycontribs/jira/issues/1303

Debugged it with a teammate- it was because the URL was url='http:// not url='https://
