How to use it:

Usage is very simple. You have to create some js file which you can call in jenkins pipeline step. In most cases, this step should be triggered only when releasing from master branch.

JS (updateJira.js):

const JJT = require("./src/index.js").JJT;

const config = require("jenkins-jira-tools").configBuilder
.setJenkinsUrl("<JENKINS_URL>")
.setJenkinsJobName("jenkins_job_name")
.setJiraProjectName("XXXX")
.setJiraApiUrl("https://<JIRA_URL>/rest/api/latest")
.setJiraUser("username", "password")
.build();

const versionData = require("jenkins-jira-tools").versionDataBuilder
.setArchived(false)
.setReleased(true)
.setDescription("New is always better")
.build();

const transitionData = require("jenkins-jira-tools").transitionDataBuilder
.setResolution("Done")
.setStatus("Closed")
.setComment("This ticket is closed. Well done!")
.build();

var versionId;
var tickets = [];
var jjt = new JJT(config);

versionIdPtr = function(value) {
    if(value) {
        versionId = value;
        return;
    } else {
        return versionId;
    }
}

jjt.findTickets(tickets)
.createVersion(versionData, versionIdPtr)
.updateFixVersions(tickets, versionIdPtr)
.changeStatus(tickets, transitionData) /* or .changeStatus(tickets, "Closed") */
.assignTo(tickets, "");

JENKINS:

sh "node updateJira.js"
