Is there a way to get the currently active sprint?

[sbetti02]

Hi there,

I am trying to use this library to get the current active sprint for a board/project, but was having some difficulty figuring out exactly how to do that.

I found the client.sprints() method here: https://github.com/pycontribs/jira/blob/main/jira/client.py#L4434, which looks like it accepts a state parameter, which in theory could be used for getting the active sprint for a given board. But, from what I can tell, it looks like that information then gets discarded in the function: https://github.com/pycontribs/jira/blob/main/jira/client.py#L4474. That also seemed to be what I found when I tested it out myself -- the state parameter didn't seem to make an impact as far as I could tell.

I also found this documentation that suggests that you should be able to find the active sprint using JQL, as shown here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Get-id-of-the-active-sprint/qaq-p/1672149#M135446. However, I can't seem to find a way to hit the suggested endpoint using this library.

Thanks in advance for your help!

While I wasn't able to find the answer to this directly, I was able to find the which issues are on the currently active sprint for a particular project using the search_issues client method using the following jql:

jql = f'project={project} AND Sprint in openSprints()'

This doesn't directly answer the question I had, but does get at really the heart of the answer that I needed for my use case, so I think this may be acceptable for closing this question.
