Unable to pass variable to python script

I have following code which creates subtask in JIRA

inf = open('/var/lib/rundeck/output.txt')
for line in inf:
                print line
                headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',}
                data = '{"fields":{"project":{"key":"TECH"},"parent":{"key":line},"summary":"Create AD List ","description":"","issuetype":{"name":"Sub-task"},"customfield_10107":{"id":"10400"}}}'
                response = requests.post('https://jira.company.com/rest/api/latest/issue/', headers=headers, data=data, auth=('user', 'pass'))

inf.close()

i have a file (output.txt), python for every line found (TECH-XXX) printss all lines, it should trigger script above.

when i hard-code key "key":"TECH-1147" instead of "key":line script generates subtask, but when substituting variable (line), nothing happens

Ouptut.txt:

TECH-1234
TECH-1345
.........

i convereted this code:

curl -D- -u: user:Pass -X POST --data "{\"fields\":{\"project\":{\"key\":\"TECH\"},\"parent\":{\"key\":\"$project\"},\"summary\":\"Create AD List of all Active Users\",\"description\":\"some description\",\"issuetype\":{\"name\":\"Sub-task\"},\"customfield_10107\":{\"id\":\"10400\"}}}" -H "Content-Type:application/json" https://company.com/rest/api/latest/issue/

using this https://curl.trillworks.com/

tried also {"key":'"' + line + '"'}

and getting {u'errorMessages': [u'The issue no longer exists.'], u'errors': {}}

Issue is TECH-1247 (variable) which definitely exists

Maybe try using rstrip() to trip any trailing whitespace/newlines and json.dumps() so the data isn't passed as form-encoded...

import requests
import json

with open("output.txt", "rb") as infile:
    for line in infile:
        headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
        data = {"fields": {
                "project": {"key": "TECH"},
                "parent": {"key": line.rstrip()},
                "summary": "Create AD List ",
                "description": "",
                "issuetype": {"name": "Sub-task"},
                "customfield_10107": {"id": "10400"}
                }}

        response = requests.post("https://jira.company.com/rest/api/latest/issue/",
                                 headers=headers,
                                 data=json.dumps(data),
                                 auth=("user", "pass"))

Like another answer said, if you use json param instead of the data param, the dict will automatically be encoded for you and the Content-Type set to application/json.

See here for more information.

line is not interpreted as a variable. It's just a string. One solution is to use the % operator for string formatting:

inf = open('/var/lib/rundeck/output.txt')
for line in inf:
    print line
    headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',}
    data = '{"fields":{"project":{"key":"TECH"},"parent":{"key":%s},"summary":"Create AD List ","description":"","issuetype":{"name":"Sub-task"},"customfield_10107":{"id":"10400"}}}' % line
    response = requests.post('https://jira.corp.hentsu.com/rest/api/latest/issue/', headers=headers, data=data, auth=('user', 'pass'))

inf.close()

Note that line was replaced with %s and then % line was added to the end. This will replace the %s with the value of the variable line.
