How to disable Project Tab Panel for new JIRA project-centric view in JIRA 6.4

[Holger Schimanski]

JIRA 6.4 introduces a new project-centric view in JIRA. The Project Tab Panel is replaced by a Side-bar Entry as described here. For backwards compatibility Project Tab Panels are shown in a Add-ons section.

I have now implemented a new sidebar entry for my plugin and now want to deactivate this Add-ons entry for the project tab without completely removing the tab for users or instances which uses the old project dashboard.

Is there any kind of new condition for the project tab panel? Or how to solve this problem?

Best regards, Holger

In our P2 plugin we had to write our own check in ProjectTabPanel.showPanel(). It checks different feature keys and JIRA version:

private final FeatureManager myFeatureManager; // injected in constructor
...
public boolean showPanel(BrowseContext ctx) {
  ApplicationUser auser = ApplicationUsers.from(ctx.getUser());
  boolean jira64 = Util.getJiraVersionSignature() >= 60400; // this method uses BuildUtilsInfo to get JIRA version
  boolean projectNavEnabled;
  if (jira64) {
    // In JIRA 6.4 it is enabled by default
    projectNavEnabled = !myFeatureManager.isEnabledForUser(auser, "com.atlassian.jira.projects.ProjectCentricNavigation.Disabled");
  } else {
    projectNavEnabled = myFeatureManager.isEnabledForUser(auser, "com.atlassian.jira.projects.ProjectCentricNavigation");
  }
  if (projectNavEnabled) {
    // panel rendered through web-item
    return false;
  }
  ... other conditions
}

It would have been great if Atlassian had thought about plugins supporting both old and new project navigation and offered a single API function, so we don't have to dig through all the possible sources to find an answer to a simple question - is project-centric navigation enabled or not.

Many thanks for sharing! One question regarding JIRA version. BuildUtilsInfo has only getVersion (String) or getVersionNumbers (int[]) but not getJiraVersionSignature. At least in JIRA 6.2 API...

[Igor Sereda [ALM Works]]

Yeah, that's our own method that converts JIRA version 6.4.0 to "60400" (major*10000 + minor*100 + micro). Just to make version comparison easier. You can implement the same method or compare against getVersionNumbers() result.

[Holger Schimanski]

Okay, I am using somthing like int[] tmpJiraVersionNumber = buildUtilsInfo.getVersionNumbers(); if ( tmpJiraVersionNumber.length >= 2 && tmpJiraVersionNumber[0] >= 6 && tmpJiraVersionNumber[1] >= 4){...} else {...}.

You can add the following condition to your Connect

 "condition": {
    "condition": "feature_flag",
    "invert": false, 
    "params": {
       "featureKey":  "com.atlassian.jira.projects.ProjectCentricNavigation"
    } 
  }

or P2

<condition class="com.atlassian.sal.api.features.DarkFeatureEnabledCondition">

   <param name="featureKey">com.atlassian.jira.projects.ProjectCentricNavigation</param>

</condition>

modules

I have a P2 plugin. Adding this as a condition to <project-tabpanel> seems to have no effect. Any idea? See https://bitbucket.org/hski/projectroletab-public/src/3ac10ccd6be128dc2c05f983ceaa96a3317be1ff/src/main/resources/atlassian-plugin.xml?at=master

[Holger Schimanski]

If I look in JIRA 6.4 source for DarkFeatureEnabledCondition I do not find anything...

[Yves YANG]

This condition doesn't work. 

"condition": {
    "condition": "feature_flag",
    "invert": false, 
    "params": {
       "featureKey":  "com.atlassian.jira.projects.ProjectCentricNavigation"
    } 
  }

when the option Project navigation is disabled, the addon project tab doesn't show up.

See my answer here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/14195565/answers/23068684 - I think it needs to be "conditions" : [] not "condition"
