Feature request: Add ability to switch between Jira accounts

[lisaross]

So first: this is an INCREDIBLE find. 💃 🕺 Thank you SO much for creating it. I can't even believe how helpful this has been already. So much so, that I want to use it for both of my Jira cloud instances, and just haven't been able to find a way to do so. Perhaps I'm missing something, perhaps it's not available to me.

If I'm missing - please point me correctly 🎉

If it's not possible, perhaps we could make it so? I know you are open to PRs, so I might have a look and try to teach myself some things, but I'm not there yet so I thought I'd start by putting the idea out to the more seasoned professionals 🖖 If it's an easy fix for you, I'd LOVE this feature.

Best case scenario would be to authenticate against more than one Jira domain at a time, but a nice runner up would be the option to switch between different domains (using the same Atlassian login)

Thanks again for this gem of a workflow. I'm damn near weeping right now. 😆

@lisaross thanks, I'm glad you're finding this workflow useful!

I like your suggestion but I wonder how common that scenario is. If there is a high demand for it, I can certainly look into a way to incorporate it into the app.

In the meantime, if I'm correctly interpreting your comment to mean that both of your accounts use the same user/pass authentication, you could probably achieve similar results by creating a .alfred-jira folder for each of your accounts and symlinking them with a separate workflow.

For example:

• Login to your primary account using the alfred-jira workflow.
• Copy the settings directory cp -r ~/.alfred-jira ~/.alfred-jira-primary
• Logout of your primary account using the alfred-jira workflow.
• Login to your secondary account using the alfred-jira workflow.
• Copy the settings directory cp -r ~/.alfred-jira ~/.alfred-jira-secondary
• Delete the original settings directory rm -rf ~/.alfred-jira
• Set up a second alfred workflow called jiradomainswitch (or something like that) that takes 1 argument (primary/secondary) which runs the script:

#! /bin/sh
alfred_settings=$HOME/.alfred-jira
account=primary
[[ "$1" == "secondary" ]] && account=secondary
test -L "$alfred_settings" && rm "$alfred_settings"
ln -s "$HOME/.alfred-jira-${account}" "$alfred_settings"

Then you still should be able to use alfred-jira but the settings/caches will reflect your symlinked account.
