Cant import JS in Jira plugin

[Angel Peña]

Hello!

I've been trying to develop a simple plugin that uses a JS code to do some things.

Unfortunately i can't import the JS in the velocity file.

I'm using a web resource component:

<web-resource name="Button Resources" i18n-name-key="button-resources.name" key="button-resources">
    <description key="button-resources.description">The Button Resources Plugin</description>
   <resource name="ButtonJS" type="download" location="js/button.js"/>
   <dependency>confluence.web.resources:ajs</dependency>
</web-resource>

 And i have a very simple script to test located in /my-plugins/button-test/plugin/src/main/resources/js:

//button.js
<script>
  alert("asd");
</script>

finally, in my velocity file i have the following code:

$webResourceManager.requireResource("com.example.plugins.tutorial.tutorial-jira-add-content-to-view-issue-screen-mine:button-resources")


<button id="issue-btn" class="aui-button">Exportar</button>

The button shows correctly, but the alert does not appear.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance.

• How to add a javascript in jira plugin?
• Create a new plugin / add-on in JIRA to set custom CSS and Javascript / JS in all pages

You may want to review the above links to see if in there you can find the answer to your question. 

Otherwise, in case you don't find anything useful in the provided links and you don't manage to get any other reply in the next days, I would advise to refer to the resources listed in https://developer.atlassian.com/resources:

• Ask the Developers Community

I hope this helps.
