this error getting while using jira-python python module automate logging jira.

my problem that, far can see, dict object passing valid.

    bug fields :: {'environment': 'node => 62-qa-driver12 (m3 - ha only)\nversion => \nurl => https://jenkins.clearsky-data.net/job/bugloggertest/144/\ntimestamp => 2015-06-29_11-11-15\njob name => bugloggertest\nbuild number => 144\nversion number => not present. check git hash. maybe add in processing of full failure list!\n', 'description': '', 'summary': 'fill in something', 'project': {'key': 'qabl'}, 'assignee': 'qa-auto', 'issuetype': {'name': 'bug'}, 'priority': {'name': 'major'}}   class :: <type 'dict'> 

is formatted this...

# creating json object (bug should not have changed after initialization)         self.json_dict = ( {"fields": {             "project": {'key': self.project},             "issuetype": {'name': self.issue_type},             "priority": {'name': self.priority},             "assignee": self.assignee,             "environment": self.environment,             "description": self.description,             "summary": self.summary } } ) 

this call create issue error being thrown...

iss = cls.my_server.create_issue(fields=bug.json_dict['fields']) # calls curl post or put command. 

i'd love trying figure out. been banging head against wall day far. thanks!

your assignee not jira expects:

"assignee": self.assignee, 

should read

"assignee": {'name': self.assignee} 

i saw in update example

issue.update(summary='new summary', description='a new summary added') issue.update(assignee={'name': 'new_user'})
