[jonmaxey]

When trying to use JIRA Reporter I get the following in the build log:

This is using TeamCity 8.1.1 and JIRA 5.1

[nickpal]

Also getting this using TeamCity 8.1. JIRA hosted so I am assuming latest.

[mvantassel1]

Hi, I am getting a similar exception using TeamCity 8.1.2 and JIRA 6.4. See stack trace below. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.

Also seeing the same in TC 8.1.5 :(

[bexie]

Any update? seeing the same in TC 8.1.5 :(

[sreddy70]

I had to create an utility (triggered by the CI system) that would make the necessary call(s) to update Jira to get around this failure.

[bexie]

Thank you:) and looking forward to the update:)

[cuzkey]

@sreddy70 , a utility? can you elaborate? are you saying you aren't using the plugin anymore, but wrote something to do the job in the meantime while this is being fixed?

[sreddy70]

That is correct. Not using the plugin and the utility does the job.

@sreddy70 Would it be possible to share the utility you wrote? I was also having a hard time getting this configured.
