Jira Data Center Custom Cursor Pagination Issue

Summary

User is experiencing issues with custom cursor pagination in a Jira Data Center connector setup. The user is unable to reference JSON response properties correctly, leading to errors during the test connection and incorrect stop condition behavior in the sync job.


Question

Hi all,

I have the following setup to connect to a Jira Data Center instance. I’m having trouble trying to get the custom cursor pagination working as I’d expect. I tried using the AI tool here https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C01AHCD885S/p1709697465397369 and even though I set it up similarly I ran into errors when running the test connection. When I do a Test Connection I receive a json response that looks like this:

  "status": 200,
  "body": {
    "expand": "schema,names",
    "startAt": 0,
    "maxResults": 50,
    "total": 632,
    "issues:" [truncated]
  }
}```
Reading documentation I believe I should be able to reference the startAt and total properties by doing something like `response.body.startAt` or `response['body']['startAt']`. However, if I do that I receive this error:
```ERROR
Something went wrong in the connector. See the logs for more details. - Traceback (most recent call last):

If I change it to `response['startAt']` though it will at least make a successful request and show the results. However, the Stop Condition doesn't work as I'd expect it to. My sync job essentially just ran forever despite already pulling in all of the results. The stop condition is setup like so: `{{ response['body']['startAt'] >= response['body']['total'] }}`

Does anyone know if how I'm approaching referencing these properties correct? Thanks in advance!
