Problems creating user in jira api

[DrDth]

Problem

Versions

Laravel V11.44.7
PHP 8.3.15
lesstif/jira-cloud-restapi 1.8.0

Description

There is an error when I try to create a new user via the user service:

  $us = $this->getUserService($jiraConnection);

  $jiraUser = $us->create([
      'emailAddress' => $user->email,
      'products' => [],
  ]);

  return $jiraUser;

The error is:

CURL HTTP Request Failed: Status Code : 400, URL:https://PRODUCT.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/user
Error Message : {"errorMessages":["User could not be created: Failed to add user HttpErrorCode 404 - User not found"],"errors":{}}

Although the user is sucessfully beeing created I am not able to complete my process here because of this.

Atlassian's user creation endpoint is usually only used to add existing users to the organisation. Therefore, this error message is correct: there is no Atlassian user to be found. However, the request does create an invitation email for a non-existent user, so it is sort of working.

I created a workaround. I now catch the exception and check if the message contains the string 'User not found'. This is a bit hacky, but it works for my purposes (I need to add users without Atlassian accounts because they are part of our user onboarding system).

This could perhaps be implemented via a new property or flag to allow this message in the first place, but it is not necessary.
