[Nageswarara Rao]

Hi,

I m trying to add a new external gadget in Confluence , when i enter the url in gadget feeds text area i got the following error.

Unable to parse the gadget feed at http://localhost:9080/browse/TST-1/rest/gadgets/1.0/g/feed)

How to resolve this error.

HI Nageswarara,

That URL looks like it is incorrect. Usually the gadget feed should just be the baseurl plus rest/gadgets/1.0/g/feed, so in your case:

http://localhost:9080/rest/gadgets/1.0/g/feed

I just removed the reference to the specific project in the URL. That should work for you! If you still have trouble I'd recommend double checking everything in the doc here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Registering+External+Gadgets

Hope this helps!

-Denise.

Dear Nageswarara,

Looking at the gadget URL, I believe that you wanted to add JIRA gadget to your Confluence instance:
- http://localhost:9080/browse/TST-1/rest/gadgets/1.0/g/feed

Since this is the case, I believe that the gadget is failed to be added to Confluence because it is not a valid gadget URL. From what I understand, the following URL is the URL format for a JIRA issue:
- http://localhost:9080/browse/TST-1

Hence, you may kindly try to add JIRA gadget as follows:
- Access JIRA dashboard, select the "Add Gadget" option
- JIRA Gadget Directory will appear in the screen
- Go to the gadget that you would like to add to Confluence
- Notice that gadgets URL is displayed for each of the displayed gadgets. Copy the gadget URL
- Access Confluence, and go to External Gadgets screen
- Paste the copied JIRA gadget URL, to the Gadget Feed URL

More details on this is outlined in the following documentation:
- https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Adding+JIRA+Gadgets+to+a+Confluence+Page

However, kindly note that you will have to setup an application link between JIRA and Confluence prior to adding JIRA gadget to Confluence.

Hope that this will help!
