Git Integration for Jira Self-Managed (Data Center/Server) Documentation

Pull request index error — org.json.JSONException

Problem

Pull requests (or merge requests in GitLab) do not index and the pull request index (pullreqsIndexInfo.json inside jira/home/caches/indexes/plugins/jira-git-pull-requests) is broken.

Example locations:

jira/home/caches/indexes/plugins/jira-git-pull-requests/2/pullreqs/pullreqsIndexInfo.json

jira/home/caches/indexes/plugins/jira-git-pull-requests/3/pullreqs/pullreqsIndexInfo.json

Diagnosis

Jira admins will see a message similar to the one below in the Jira /application-logs/atlassian-jira.log:
