After having spent some time to debug this documentation, I would like to present what has worked for me.

So the differences were:

1. I had to send gem('soap4r') to ensure that this package is loaded instead of the default implementation contained in the ruby interpreter.
2. Perhaps the gem('jira4r') is not necessary.
3. I had to require 'jira4r', not 'jira4r/jira4r'.
4. The module is named Jira4R, not only Jira

Could you adapt the documentation to the source code, so that others may be use the script in less than 2 hours?

I hit some problems running this under ruby 1.8.7 with a

SOAP::Mapping::MappingError

Cannot map Object to SOAP/OM

error. It seems to relate to this email thread (found via this article). Anyway, for anyone with this problem changing lines 48 to 52 of jira4r.rb from

  if args.length > 0
    method.call(@token, *args)    
  else
    method.call(@token)
  end

to:

  if args.length > 0
    method.call("#@token", *args)    
  else
    method.call("#@token")
  end

makes sure that the @token credentials are recognised as strings and everything worked from that point on. Hope that saves a bit of time to anyone who had the same problem i did!

Thanks for the pluggin - its been very useful!

Cheers

I had to do the same things as Markus.

Please update!

Also, I get errors when running getIssuesFromFilterWithLimit: NameError: undefined method `getIssuesFromFilterWithLimit' for class `Jira4R::V2::JiraSoapService' — why isn't a wsdl method available to jira4r?
