jira reindex doesn't work as expected

[vanessartx]

Bug summary

When using jira.reindex(), it states that a reindex is already running... Although, it isn't; There's no background or foreground process currently running on the jira instance.

The message displayed:
WARNING:jira:Jira re-indexing is already running.

I noticed that the code isn't using the REST API to make the call considering the url is different. As a test, I used curl POST '{site.url}/jira/rest/api/2/reindex?type=FOREGROUND' and that works...

Note: I don't see a difference between v3.2.0 and the latest v3.8.0

Is there an existing issue for this?

Stack trace

WARNING:jira:Jira re-indexing is already running.

Expected behaviour

For an actual reindex to start, specifically foreground. Having jira.reindex() default, also produces the same message.
