This script fetches JIRA issues from a given JIRA search URL and calculates the total number of story points assigned to those issues. It also identifies any issues that are missing story points.

• Extracts the JIRA instance and query from a JIRA search URL.
• Retrieves issue details using the JIRA API.
• Sums up the story points from all retrieved issues.
• Reports issues that do not have story points assigned.

Before using this script, ensure you have:

• Python 3 installed (check with python --version or python3 --version)
• A JIRA API token (see instructions below)

1. Go to https://issues.redhat.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa
2. Go to Personal Access Tokens.
3. Click Create token.
4. Copy and save the token securely.

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/jira-story-points.git
cd jira-story-points

If you downloaded the script as a .py file, place it in a convenient folder.

The script uses the requests library to interact with JIRA's API. Install it with:

pip install requests

Run the script with the JIRA search URL and your API token:

python story.py "<JIRA_SEARCH_URL>" -t <YOUR_API_TOKEN>

python story.py "https://issues.redhat.com/issues/?jql=project%20in%20(SRVCOM,%20SRVKE,%20SRVKS,%20SRVCLI,%20SRVOCF,%20SRVLOGIC)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.36.0%20AND%20component%20%3D%20Documentation%20AND%20priority%20%3D%20Blocker%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC" -t my_api_token_here

Total Story Points: 42
Issues without story points:
- SRVCOM-1234
- SRVKE-5678

• Zsh: No matches found error? Wrap the URL in quotes:

  python story.py "<JIRA_SEARCH_URL>" -t <YOUR_API_TOKEN>

• ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'? Install requests:

  pip install requests

• 400 Bad Request error? Check that your JIRA API token is valid and that the JQL query in the URL is correct.

You can create an alias in your ~/.zshrc (Zsh) or ~/.bashrc (Bash) file for easier usage:

echo 'alias jira_points="python /path/to/story.py -t YOUR_API_TOKEN"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Now, simply run:

jira_points "<JIRA_SEARCH_URL>"
