After upgrading to confluence 6.8, unable to create page due to cyclic plugin resource dependency

Question

Here is the error in atlassian-confluence.log:

[webresource] findItChangesArguments cyclic plugin resource dependency has been detected with: com.atlassian.confluence.editor:editor-resources, stack trace: [_context:editor-v3, confluence.extra.jira:jiraAnalytics, com.atlassian.confluence.editor:editor-resources, com.atlassian.confluence.editor:editor-resources-v4, com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-link-browser:link-browser-conf-frontend, com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-link-browser:link-browser-resources]

Simarjot,

Any chance you're running behind a firewall or reverse proxy?

If so I would try a fresh install without and see if you still have the same issues.

Hi Shannon,

I tried installing Confluence from scratch but I am getting the same error (twice each time I try to create a new page after installation):

[webresource] findItChangesArguments cyclic plugin resource dependency has been detected with: com.atlassian.confluence.editor:editor-resources, stack trace: [_context:editor-v3, confluence.extra.jira:jiraAnalytics, com.atlassian.confluence.editor:editor-resources, com.atlassian.confluence.editor:editor-resources-v4, com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-link-browser:link-browser-conf-frontend, com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-link-browser:link-browser-resources]

There seem to be no other error. I shall try this again next week and let you know.

Thanks & regards,

Simarjot,

Thank you!

Can you have another look at your logs and see if there are any other errors mentioned? The one you provided doesn't give me too much information. Look for the word "ERROR" followed by "caused by:" at the end. This should give us more details.

Another option would be for you to do a clean install of 6.8 and then restore your backup from 5.10.1 and see if you're able to edit that way.

Regards,

Shannon
