Confluence 8 server helloworld application not working

[Arikrishnan]

Hello Guys,

I have a confluence helloworld application macro that is not working fine in Confluence version 8.x 

Now I am going to upgrade my macro to support confluence 8.x (8.5.0), I am facing a few issues while upgrading it.

After updating all the plugins to the latest version, when I run atlas-run I get confluence running but macro not showing.

You can find the pom.xml file below.

I'm not sure what I'm missing, so if anyone can help, that would be great.

Please let me know if you require any additional details from my end.

Any support you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @Arikrishnan ,

WHat is the error message in logs ?

As a side note: you use Spring Scanner 1.X that is outdated - you should use 2.X at least for Confluence 8.X.

Hello @Andrii Maliuta 

Thank you for your prompt reply.

As you mentioned, I have updated  Spring Scanner to version 2.1.5.

After updating the Spring Scanner version now i am facing another issue.

Please let me know if you require any additional details from my end.

I appreciate you taking my request into account.

@Arikrishnan ,

Please read the docs of https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-spring-scanner/src/master/ - you need to adjust the code acc. to new requirements. E.g. '@Scanned' should not be there, Maven dependency of  'atlassian-spring-scanner-annotation' to be <scope>provided</scope>, etc.

There are some changes to be done for the new versions :)
