Searchable content from answers cant be found in community

[EddieW]

(Editor lost my 3!!! attempts to write this, so please forgive brevity)

Google a thing you need:

 

Found in old answers (yay, someone else having my issue), click through.
Redirects to homepage (silly, but o well, search again):




Not found, try the title that answers used:

Nope, nothing.

Was it lost, does search just stink?

Thanks for following up.  The issue was related to images.  In short I wrote a rather length report with 4 distinct screenshots uploaded.

After I saved the post all 4 images, and most of the text was replaced with the 1st images repeated 4 times.

I tried to edit, delete the extras, and re-insert the missing 3 and saved it. The published article remained the same as first publish.

UNrelated, but equally frustrating is that it seems I can't mention you or David in my replied. I get an error saying my comment has invalid HTML markup.  Removing the mention let's me post.

[EddieW]

Thanks David - it is validation of the same problem i'm having! I really appreciate you taking the extra effort to dig this up and provide it hear, sincerely, thanks.

As for the issue itself, it seems bigger than quickreload, and something in JIRA core, I actually submitted a bug yesterday with steps to re-create, similar to poster above.

Again, thanks.

Hi Eddie,

When we migrated data from Answers to Community, we made the difficult (honestly) decision to not migrate questions that had never received a comment or answer. I just took a look at the raw Answers database dump, and "QuickReload Report Plugin" was in fact pruned during the migration because nobody had ever responded to it.

That said, I know how irritating it is to be denied access to content like this when you're trying to troubleshoot -- seeing that someone else is having the same issue can be validating and reassuring, and sometimes you can learn something useful about the potential solution just by reading someone else's account of the problem, so here's the original post for you. Apologies for any formatting errors -- I removed the markup manually.

Hello,

I'm creating a custom report plugin for JIRA 7.3 and I have a problem with quickreload, which makes it pretty useless: Everytime I run 'mvn package' my plugin gets build and packaged and quickreload recognises the changed jar file. Then quickreload redeploys the plugin jar and also the test jar. Everything seems fine, console shows no errors. Then if a open up the report nothing it seems like the old state. The only way to get JIRA show the new report is by restarting the entire server with 'atlas-run'.

I could reproduce this behaviour with a fresh project:

- create Project

C:\Temp\atlassian>atlas-create-jira-plugin.bat

....
[INFO] using latest stable data version: 7.3.0
Define value for groupId: : de.example
Define value for artifactId: : jira-custom-report-sample
Define value for version: 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: :
Define value for package: de.example: :
Confirm properties configuration:
groupId: de.example
artifactId: jira-custom-report-sample
version: 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
package: de.example
 Y: : y

- cd into project dir

C:\Temp\atlassian>cd jira-custom-report-sample

- create JIRA report plugin module

C:\Temp\atlassian\jira-custom-report-sample>atlas-create-jira-plugin-module.bat

Choose Plugin Module:
....
16: Report
....
Choose a number (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/23/24/25/26/27/28/29/30/31/32/33/34): 16
Enter New Classname MyReport: : ExampleReport
Enter Package Name de.example.jira.reports: :
Show Advanced Setup? (Y/y/N/n) N: :
[INFO] Adding the following items to the project:
[INFO] [class: de.example.jira.reports.ExampleReport]
[INFO] [class: ut.de.example.jira.reports.ExampleReportTest]
[INFO] [dependency: org.mockito:mockito-all]
[INFO] [module: report]
[INFO] [resource: ExampleReport.properties]
[INFO] [resource: view.vm]
[INFO] i18n strings: 3
Add Another Plugin Module? (Y/y/N/n) N: :

- Start JIRA

C:\Temp\atlassian\jira-custom-report-sample>atlas-run

- open http://localhost:2990/jira and log in to JIRA
- create the sample project
- navigate to the sample project and click on 'reports'
- open the 'ExampleReport'

This should give a merely empty 'Configuration' page with the report title, description and an button 'Next' to show the report (which returns null at the moment)

- Edit the atlassian-plugin.xml

C:\Temp\atlassian\jira-custom-report-sample>;vi src\main\resources\atlassian-plugin.xml

- add a property tot the 'Example Report'

<report name="Example Report" ...>
 ...
 <properties>
 <property>
 <key>exampleProperty</key>
 <name>Example Property</name>
 <description>An example property</description>
 <type>string</type>
 </property>
 </properties>
 ...

- Rebuild via 'atlas-mvn package'. This should end up with 'BUILD SUCCESS'
- Watch the console window from 'atlas-run'
- There should be some output from QuickReload like:

- The again navigate to the sample project and click on 'reports'
- open the 'ExampleReport'

I would now expect that the newly added property 'Example Property' show up in the report configuration dialog. At least for me it shows exactly the same page as before.

- Stop the JIRA server via Ctrl-C
- Restart with atlas-run
- Do Step 12-13 again an now the Property 'Example Property' is visible

Do I miss something? I would expect that step 1-13 should be enough. Restarting the server for each litte change is very frustrating.

Hopefully that's helpful.

@Eddie Webb I'm sorry that you're encountering errors with the editor -- what error were you running into? We do have some issues with images in discussion posts, so posting as a question might help.

This particular piece of content indeed looks missing -- it should be redirecting to the imported content here, but it is not, @David Corcoran do you have any insight into why the redirect may not be working here?

[EddieW]

Oh good, that rant worked..  Just lost about 10 minutes of detailed typing and screenshots for no reason, this new community site pretty much sucks.
