Hello every one,
I am currently trying to create an issue using the REST API and MantisBT version 2.23.0. Identification works, but I then get an html 400 error ("Summary not specified"), even though I actually provide it in the json of my query (see attachment). Has any one faced a comparable issue before?

I don't use curl myself, but I guess "--data-urlencode" is the problem here. You might have a look at the rest api documentation:
https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/ ... pi/7Lt6zkP
The samples there use "--data-raw".

And "category_id":"1" is surely wrong. That should be "category={"id"="1"}".

Thank you very much for your reply! I actually used the api documentation you linked, using the parameter --data-raw does not change the behaviour I reported. As for category_id, it is a mandatory field in my use case. Switching to your syntax with "category_id={"id"="1"}" sadly does not alleviate my summary issue.

Running the following from a cmd on Win10, local MantisBT 2.23.0 (personal information -> ?):

Code: Select all

curl --trace-ascii - --location --request POST "http://mantisbt/api/rest/issues/" ^
--header "Authorization: ?" ^
--header "Content-Type: application/json" ^
--data-raw "{\"summary\": \"This is a test issue\",\"description\": \"This is a test description\",\"category\": {\"id\": 1},\"project\": {\"id\": 58}}"

works for me. Output:

Code: Select all

Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

You didn't provide any info about your environment, so line continuation (^) and escape (\) nay differ.
Use the " --trace-ascii - " option and look at the data that is really sent (size, content).

I am also running the command through windows 10 with cmd. I formatted the query so that the data-raw part fits in one line (to remove the need for escape characters in the json). The trace-ascii states that all the data is sent, which rules out a malformed json.

Posted: **03 Feb 2020, 10:18**

Just to be sure that the send data is really valid json. Have you cross-checked that
with any JSON viewer? Please provide that part of the trace output.

Posted: **03 Feb 2020, 10:28**

I used https://jsonformatter.org/ to assert the validity of the json. Here is the verbose output :

At first glance the send data is wrong. All strings are missing qoutes ("). For example summary:summarysample should be
"summary":"summarysample". And after you fixed that, the mandantory 'category' (!) really needs to be "category": {"id": 1}.

Posted: **03 Feb 2020, 11:06**

The quotes are not missing in the actual query:

Code: Select all

curl --trace-ascii - --location --request POST "http://xxxxxxx.xxxxx-xxxxxx.com/api/rest/issues" ^
 --header "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ^
 --user "xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxx" ^
 --header "Content-Type:application/json" ^
 --data-raw "{"summary":"summarysample","category":{"id":1,"name":"bugtracker"},"description":"Description","project":{"id":"11","name":"Test"},"custom_fields":[{"field":{"id":"custom_field_10","name":"custom_field_10"},"value":"va"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_11","name":"custom_field_11"},"value":"00000"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_12","name":"custom_field_12"},"value":"vav"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_13","name":"custom_field_13"},"value":"Beton"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_14","name":"custom_field_14"},"value":"Casse"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_15","name":"custom_field_15"},"value":"Oui"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_32","name":"custom_field_32"},"value":"Detendu"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_16","name":"custom_field_16"},"value":"Facade"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_23","name":"custom_field_23"},"value":"vpl"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_24","name":"custom_field_24"},"value":"99"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_21","name":"custom_field_21"},"value":"Chaussee"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_22","name":"custom_field_22"},"value":"Cassee"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_25","name":"custom_field_25"},"value":"var"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_26","name":"custom_field_26"},"value":"Ouverte"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_29","name":"custom_field_29"},"value":"Oui"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_30","name":"custom_field_30"},"value":"Oui"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_31","name":"custom_field_31"},"value":"vac"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_27","name":"custom_field_27"},"value":"2.5"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_28","name":"custom_field_28"},"value":"50.5"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_17","name":"custom_field_17"},"value":"Collectivite"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_18","name":"custom_field_18"},"value":"vdn"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_19","name":"custom_field_19"},"value":"vde"},{"field":{"id":"custom_field_20","name":"custom_field_20"},"value":"0123456789"}]}"

That might be true. But obviously they got stripped of either by the cmdline processing or
by curl itself. That's the reason I escaped all those qoutes in my test. There might be other
means to achieve this, but I guess curl is not the right tool to process such large request anyway.

Escaping all the quotes in the data-raw did the trick, thank you very much! I think we can mark this issue as resolved!
