Description
Summary
The JSON import fails to complete if the case of any of the status from the JSON file doesn't match the case of the corresponding status in the Project Workflow.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a Workflow in a JIRA instance (for example 7.4.1) that contains a status "ON HOLD"
- Create a JSON file containing an issue that has the status "On Hold" in the history. For example:
{ "author": "c1111", "created": "2014-05-31T18:00:00.000+0200", "items": [ { "fieldType": "jira", "field": "status", "fromString": "On Hold", "toString": "On Hold" } ] }
- Attempt to import the JSON file.
Expected Results
- The import should complete successfully without any error despite the case difference between the statuses "On Hold" and "ON HOLD", since JIRA doesn't allow two statuses which differ only in casing (JIRA statuses are case insensitive)
- The issue should be imported with its complete history
- For now, until this issue is resolved, we might want to modify the JSON import documentation
- to reflect the fact that the import is currently case sensitive
- to let the JIRA users know that the status case should match between the JSON file and the statuses defined in the JIRA instance where the import is performed
Actual Results
The history of this issue is not completely imported (all the history is imported up to the status change to "On Hold").
The import page reports the error "Unexpected failure occurred. Importer will stop immediately. Data may be in an unstable state".
The generic error below can be found in the import log:
2017-08-04 10:45:17,076 ERROR - Unexpected failure occurred. Importer will stop immediately. Data may be in an unstable state
java.util.NoSuchElementException

Solution / Workaround
Make sure that all the statuses from the JSON file match the statuses (with the same case) defined in the JIRA instance where the import is performed.
Taking the example provided above, the history should be changed as follows:
{
"author": "c1111",
"created": "2014-05-31T18:00:00.000+0200",
"items": [
{
"fieldType": "jira",
"field": "status",
"fromString": "ON HOLD",
"toString": "ON HOLD"
}
]
}
