fix(jira): use assignee.name or assignee.displayName
On *.atlassian.com hosts the api returns the name on 'displayName'

The jira API doesn't seem to send the field name anymore

After this commit we use one or the other, whatever is available.

Jira widget

The widget shows the number of tickets assigned to the user (or any other result of a JQL query, see customization section) and when clicked shows them in the list, grouped by the ticket status. Left-click on the item opens the issue in the default browser:

How it works

Widget uses cURL to query Jira's REST API. In order to be authenticated, widget uses a netrc feature of the cURL, which is basically to store basic auth credentials in a .netrc file in home folder.

If you are on Atlassian Cloud, then instead of providing a password in netrc file you can set an API token which is a safer option, as you can revoke/change the token at any time.

Customization

It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:

Name Default Description
host Required Ex: http://jira.tmnt.com
query jql=assignee=currentuser() AND resolution=Unresolved JQL query
icon ~/.config/awesome/awesome-wm-widgets/jira-widget/jira-mark-gradient-blue.svg Path to the icon
timeout 600 How often in seconds the widget refreshes

Installation

Create a .netrc file in you home directory with following content:

machine turtlejira.com
login mikey@tmnt.com
password cowabunga

Then change file's permissions to 600 (so only you can read/write it):

chmod 600 ~/.netrc

And test if it works by calling the API (-n option is to use the .netrc file for authentication):

curl -n 'https://turtleninja.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=currentuser()+AND+resolution=Unresolved'

Clone/download repo and use the widget in rc.lua:

local jira_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.jira-widget.jira")
...
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
	{ -- Right widgets
    	layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
		...
		-- default
		jira_widget({host = 'http://jira.tmnt.com'}),
		...
