Windows Auth not working when adding watchers to Jira

[FilBot3]

I think the title is correct in this case. On Windows 7 64bit, I am trying to run a script that runs the jira.exe multiple times to add watchers since I cannot specify multiple of them in a single execution. I've had hit or miss success with when I'm not authenticated go-jira will ask for a password when using a shell script. So, sometimes when I forget to login first, I get the following error without much "simple" detail on what the actual issue excpet for me assuming that Username anonymous means I didn't login.

{"errorMessages":["Internal server error"],"errors":{}}
2016-11-22T09:56:26.577-05:00 ERROR [main.go:532] Unexpected Response From POST

This happens on both the Linux version and Windows version. However, when I run the same thing again after logging in on Windows, I still receive the above error. On Linux the script then works without problem.

Windows Error output:

The script being used to call the jira executable.

@echo off
set JIRA_ISSUE=%1
set USERNAME=user01

jira watch %JIRA_ISSUE% --watcher=%USERNAME%

and Linux Bash

JIRA_ISSUE=$1
USERNAME=user01

jira watch $JIRA_ISSUE --watcher=$USERNAME

Sorry for the delayed response. I am not sure on this one, it sounds like it could be an issue with the service rather than go-jira. The Internal server error certainly indicates that there is something the service does not like about the request. I can't imagine what would be different between Windows vs Linux on these requests. In your responses above I see X-Ausername: anonymous which means that the service does not know who you are, so it is likely auth related.

If it is authentication related, perhaps you should try the pass password-source documented here:
https://github.com/Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira#pass-password-source. I believe windows has a way to get pass working with gpg and gpg-agent.

I've got Gpg4Win installed, which does have the gpg-agent I believe. I'll have to check. So far, pass isn't installed on Windows by default, and I'm trying to avoid installing Cygwin again. I'll see what I can find, and post back.

[coryb]

There is a windows version of pass here: https://github.com/mbos/Pass4Win, dont think it requires cygwin.

not sure if this is an issue, you might want to try the latest version. We now use the session-login api, so the cookie based auth might start working. Closing this issue for now, reopen if there is something I can do.
