Flow Production Tracking - Jira Bridge "TypeError: Object of type Project is not JSON serializable"

Hello, team! I’m attempting to get the Jira Bridge up and running, and I’m having this issue when I attempt to run the update_shotgun_users.py script. It’s telling me “Object of type Project is not JSON serializable”

See below for the full error message. Everything else seems to be working, but I suspect the reason I’m not seeing changes update on Jira is because the users are synched correctly. Has anyone seem this before? Thanks so much!

I’d print out what’s being serialized and check for signs of objects rather than dicts/strings.

Hey Patrick! Thanks so much for the quick reply. I’ll try this and report back with more info as soon as I can!

I tried adding some logger functions throughout update_shotgun_users.py, but they’re only reporting the string value of the Jira project key. I’m a little unclear on what the error is telling me, too. Do I need to make an adjustment to the Object at a high level, or does it want me to convert the value of the Object before /during a specific function. What do you think?

I discovered a potential error I was making, which is that I was passing the project “key” (letters) to the script instead of the project “id” (numbers). So, I tried running it with the id and got the same result.

It looks like the error is happening when it tries to retrieve Flow Production Tracking users, so maybe it’s not a Jira thing, maybe it’s a Flow thing. I will keep the thread updated, but I welcome any input or suggestions!

I got it working! I think I was operating off some old documentation. I followed the guide here, and now it’s working: https://help.autodesk.com/view/SGDEV/ENU/?guid=SGD_jb_jira_bridge_html
