A Github action that takes access credentials and verifies them again Jira REST API. Upon successful login, the credentials are stored locally in ~/jira/config.yml. This behavior is in line with how atlassian/gajira-login works to act as a drop-in replacement.

Atlassian does not maintain its Github actions anymore. This is an issue since they are built with Node v16, which has been marked deprecated by Github and will soon get removed.

Instead of just writing the data to the file, it performs a login attempt to verify the provided credentials. This allows to fail early if the credentials are incorrect.

name: Test Action

on:
  [..]

env:
  JIRA_BASE_URL: ${{ secrets.JIRA_URL }} # https://???.atlassian.net
  JIRA_USER_EMAIL: ${{ secrets.JIRA_EMAIL }}
  JIRA_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.JIRA_API_TOKEN }}

jobs:
  example:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Jira Login
        uses: frieder/gha-jira-login@v1
        with:
          baseUrl: ${{ secrets.JIRA_URL }}
          email: ${{ secrets.JIRA_EMAIL }}
          token: ${{ secrets.JIRA_TOKEN }}

The access information can be provided either as direct action arguments or by setting env variables. For the env variable names it will use the same names as Atlassian's login action does to allow for a drop-in replacement. When both are provided, the input fields take precedence over the env variables.

Install packages: npm i
Compile code: npm run build
Format code: npm run format
Format check: npm run format-check
Code check: npm run lint

This action can be tested during development with the use of https://github.com/nektos/act.
