Only 100 results fetched if maxResults is larger than 100

[bartromgens]

Bug summary

Problem
When I request more than 100 max results (for example: maxResults=200) via:

 client.search_issues(jql_str=jql_str, maxResults=200)

I expect the client to batch get all pages and return me 200 results.
However, it unexpectedly limits the number of results to 100.

Is there an existing issue for this?

Reproduction steps

# some query that gives in more than 100 results
jql_str = "project = XX"

# maxResults = False
results = client.search_issues(jql_str=jql_str, maxResults=False)
print(f"results with maxResults=False: {len(results)}")

# maxResults = 200
results = client.search_issues(jql_str=jql_str, maxResults=200)
print(f"results with maxResults=200: {len(results)}")

Stack trace

results with maxResults=False: 248
results with maxResults=200: 100

Expected behaviour

I expect the client to batch get all pages and return me 200 results.
However, it unexpectedly limits the number of results to 100.

I just tested this locally with jira 3.6.0 and our private Jira instance and I get the correct amount of results (maxResults=1000 -> 277)

With the exact same snippet I get the correct output:

results with maxResults=False: 3187
results with maxResults=200: 200

Also tested with 3.6.0. Can you give any additional information, maybe dig into where the batching code stops prematurely?

@rynkk I don't see any batching code if maxResults evaluates to True. It only does batch get if maxResults is False:

jira/jira/client.py

Line 760 in ff6985b

if not maxResults:

Note that max_results_from_response is 100 for me (not equal to the maxResults argument of 200) in the code below:

jira/jira/client.py

Line 751 in ff6985b

max_results_from_response = resource.get("maxResults", 1)

Looks like it depends on the max results the server is configured to return. Maybe your (private) jira instance is configured differently than Jira cloud?

Hi there,

Just using this package with JIRA Cloud (not self-hosted) and if I put any number greater than 100 I get a maximum of 100 (I should get 131). Using False is fine in my case but just confirm that this is an issue with version 3.8.0.
