Hello I’m trying to edit a jira issue but I receive 404 I don’t know why

I think that could be because the field hosts is required, but I don’t have ssh to the server and I put other host just to pass.

Any ideia?

do you mean the inventory? just change the group in hosts to localhost. In this case you are not ssh to the jira server but, sending api calls.

localhost

probably need connection: local or delagate\_to: localhost in the playbook

Or just use ‘implicit localhost’ - [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/inventory/implicit\_localhost.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/inventory/implicit_localhost.html).

Try running your playbook with -vvvvvv

It’s been a while but I had some trouble with the jira module (and also running via python 2) so in the end I switched to using the ‘uri’ module for some things and running any playbooks that interact with jira using python 3.

I forget the exact issue but I couldn’t establish a connection from a python 2.

If you can’t run all your playbooks with python 3 yet then you can choose to run a playbook using python3 like this:

```auto
ansible-playbook sample-playbook.yml -e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3'
 (as described here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/python_3_support.html)

Hope this helps,

Jon
