attachment.get()

[acckiydarik]

Hello, I couldn't find an option to print content of only one particular file by name or id from attachments.
Is it possible?

thank you.

The example shows how you can iterate through available attachments, so if you know the name of the attachment you want, you can check that before printing.

For example

ATTACHMENT_NAME = "expected_file.txt"

for attachment in issue.fields.attachment:
    if attachment.filename != ATTACHMENT_NAME:
        continue # continue for loop if the filename does not match
    print("Name: '{filename}', size: {size}".format(
        filename=attachment.filename, size=attachment.size))
    # to read content use `get` method:
    print("Content: '{}'".format(attachment.get()))
