Need a solution for a bi-directional sync, of embedded (in-line) images in the description/comments/Text fields etc.) and their attachments

Hello support.

Main goal is to be able to create a bi-directional sync. from Azure Devops Board to Jira.

Here the first issues that I have so far:

Context: using Exalate in Script mode From Azure Work item(Outgoing sync ) to Jira Cloud Issue (Incoming sync)  ( note: as a start we need Azure to Jira sync. but our main goal is to have bi-directional sync )

To reproduce my situation:

  • From Azure Board create a work item
    • in the Description add some text 
      • Add an image by pasting from a print screen
      • Save
    • Reopen the same work item
    • add a Comment 
      • Add an new image by pasting from a new print screen
      • Save

Azure DevOps Board - Exalate outbound


// Azure DevOps Board - Exalate outbound

replica.description    = workItem.description	// Note description will contain HTML

replica.attachments    = workItem.attachments

replica.comments       = workItem.comments 		// Note comment will contain HTML

NOTE from the Jira Exalate connection information of the Remote replica entity section about the Attachments

"attachments": [
      {
        "id": "5729801f-8a84-4dd6-adc7-7521854a47d2",
        "filename": "image.png",
        "internal": false,
        "zip": false
      },
      {
        "id": "fbc509af-2794-4766-b347-99a7fd7bd688",
        "filename": "image.png",
        "internal": false,
        "zip": false
      }
    ],

Jira Cloud - Exalate Incoming sync

// Jira Cloud - Exalate Incoming sync

import com.exalate.transform.HtmlToWiki


issue.attachments  = attachmentHelper.mergeAttachments(issue, replica)

HtmlToWiki htwDesc   = new HtmlToWiki(replica.attachments)
String wikiDescriptionText  = htwDesc.transform(replica.description)  // replica as HTML Jira understands wiki
issue.description = wikiDescriptionText 


HtmlToWiki htwComment   = new HtmlToWiki(replica.attachments) //  // replica as HTML Jira understands wiki 
issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica,  {
    comment ->    
    comment.body = htwComment.transform(comment.body)
    comment
})

The result in the Jira issue, both the description and comment text fields have the same image (The last image added to the comment, the second image.png). 

I did try the suggested solution from : https://community.exalate.com/display/exacom/questions/20124163/exalating-attachments-pasted-images-on-azuredevops-result-in-same-name-files-on-receiving-jira-side

Solution to rename the filename values in replica.attachments but the HtmlToWiki::processImage methode/function base it self on the HTML content only to scans for filename in the Image 'src' attribute. Giving me a broken in-line image link on the Jira side.

Since the Field content (HTML) (description and/or comments) in-line images information need/must fit the attachment information in order to resolve the image information to display in the proper context. There is a missing part to the solution.

Hypotheses:

So by renaming the images from azure to Jira …in Jira new filename ….when will do the other sync Jira to Azure inbound script even using the attachmentHelper.mergeAttachments tool … are those images are added to the work item making duplicates because their is different filenames.

Main goal is to be able to create a bi-directional sync. from

  • Azure Devops Board
  • Jira Cloud

Help would be appreciated,

      Hello,



      Add the following code on your Outgoing Sync on Jira Cloud

      replica.comments = nodeHelper.getHtmlComments(issue)
