Can code coverage reports be published centrally to Confluence?
Asked by Richard Fawcus:

From Azure DevOps we use a JaCoCo task to generate code coverage reports which are then stored with the build in DevOps. Is there either an additional task that can be inserted or is there a method where we can collate all of our code coverage reports to Confluence (or Jira) to act as a dashboard and give an overview of code coverage?

Many thanks

author: Shannon S
body: Hello Richard,

Thank you for contacting us.

I'm not aware of any way to do that within Jira or Confluence and was also not able to find an add-on for that at [Atlassian Marketplace](http://marketplace.atlassian.com).

There is a workaround listed in the **Bitbucket** collection below:

* [Viewing Jacoco code coverage information after pipeline build](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Viewing-Jacoco-code-coverage-information-after-pipeline-build/qaq-p/747627)

Perhaps you could use this to build something within Bitbucket instead?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Richard Fawcus
body: Hi Shannon

I had considered that method but I don't think it allows us to collate the coverage reports to a central dashboard. We may be able to use application links to pull the reports to Confluence once they are in BitBucket but I will need to look into that further.

Thanks for your help, let me know if you have any other ideas.

Cant @ User anymore
Asked by GS1337:

Hi,

in Confluence I can tag every User with @. But with one specific User it suddenly stopped working for some reason. It doesnt find him anymore, and on old tags it doesnt jump to his user anymore. Anybody knows a solution?

author: Stan Ry
body: Hi, we're also experiencing this issue with some users. This appears sporadically and doesn't have some clear root cause. The workaround I use personally is as follows.

1. In the Editor mode click the Add link button.

2. In the search field paste the target user name.

3. Insert the found user.

Confluence will find the user by their name and, when inserted, the found username appears propertly formatted using the [@username](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1677494) scheme.

Gliify in Confluence : Hyperlink works when opened in new tab but not on direct click
Asked by guru:

I'm using Gliffy in Confluence to create project workflows. In these workflows, i'm creating hyperlinks to direct the link to different tab to get the underlying workflow details.

These hyperlinks are working as below,

Scenario 1- On Hyperlink click - It navigates to the destination page but doesn't reach the required position of the link. It just reaches the top of the page

Scenario 2 - On opening the hyperlink in different tab - It navigates to the destination tab and also reaches the required position of the link in that tab.

The Hyperlink works as expected in Scenario 2 but in scenario 1 it isn't working as expected.

Can someone suggest or advice on how to make the hyperlinks work in Gliffy-Confluence on a single click ( as Scenario 1)


Answers:
author: John Almeida
body: Hi Guru,

I am not sure why your default is to open in the existing tab as I am showing in all our instances that the links will open in a new tab.

To help troubleshoot, can you send a request to support@gliffy.com with the steps you took so we can reproduce this issue and do some testing on our end?

Best,

John


author: guru
body: Hi John - Thanks got your reply.

For Scenario 1 - i just double click on the link and it navigates to top of the destination page.

For Scenario 2 - I need to right click on the hyperlink and select "open in new tab" from the pop up window to open it in the new tab.

It doesn't open in new tab automatically as it's happening in your instance, is there any setup to get it open in new tab automatically ?

Regards,

Guru


author: John Almeida
body: Hi,

Thanks for passing along this feedback. I just tested hyperlinking on our instance, [seen here](https://cl.ly/bb940e64bf62). It seems to work properly, however my example may be in line with your Scenario 2.

The hyperlink functionality automatically opens a new tab. Can you inform me how I can reproduce Scenario 1?

How do you move an unresticted page from a restricted space?
Asked by Wynne Teeter:

I created a template page in a Space that is restricted. The individual page has no restrictions, but it has inherited the restrictions from the parent Space. I would like to make a copy of my page and move it to a Space that is unrestricted. I tried doing this and I get the message that I don't have permission to move the page to the new Parent space.

I am an org and site admin. I created the initial page.

Anyone have any idea how to get around this?


Answers:
author: DPKJ
body: When you want to move page from one space to another, you need to have "Add Page" permission on target space please check this and verify.

Site-admins are not always granted this permission, but you can configure it.

comments: author: Wynne Teeter
body: I've done this. I was the creator of each space and had added myself to both spaces as an individual. Granting access to add pages, etc.


author: Stan Ry
body: Hi, since you are not copying but moving the page, I'd also check that you have DELETE permission on your source restricted page.

comments: author: Wynne Teeter
body: I've got permission to DELETE as well as Add Page.


author: Stan Ry
body: Page permissions override the ones assinged by the space, as far a I know.


author: Wynne Teeter
body: Hmm, I've checked both page and space permissions. I have access to everything. I'll keep poking around. It must be user error, just having a hard time finding where its at.


author: Stan Ry

It is time, when you publish Draft, draft that was created earlier?

There is no checkbox at this point, maybe you need to go to the confluence settings, but I don't know where the global settings in your Confluence are, sorry((

How can I exclude ONLY attachments from the livesearch macro?
Asked by James Bedwell:

Hi,

I am using the livesearch macro, and I noticed that it is showing up various file attachments in the immediate results, which I don't want.

Is there a method to configure the plugin to *specifically exclude attachments* whilst still returning results for every other content type?

I attempted to use the macro shortcut with the parameters:

    type=page,comment,blogpost

However this seems to not recognise the types that I have defined, and defaults back to the selection of "All" content types when I edit the macro configuration.

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello James,

Thank you for contacting us.

There's not a way to exclude attachments from the LiveSearch macro. Although a feature request was raised for this in the past, it was closed as we don't have plans in the near future to implement this. Have a look below:

* [CONFSERVER-53475](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-53475) *Add Filter on LiveSearch Macro to Include/Exclude Attachments from Search Results*

You might be able to use one of the many [Search add-ons on Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=search%20macro) for this, or write your own [User Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html) if you are comfortable with that.

I'm sorry that I didn't have better news for you.

Take care,

New search - How to find a Space
Asked by Eric Sara:

Just upgraded and now have the new search. I am sure as I and the rest of my company use it more we may come to like it, however, for our most common search we are finding using the new search to be more painful.

I am putting this out there as someone may be able to guide me on how to do this search so that I can find what I am looking for easily.

The search is a simple one and it is a search for a Space. Not searching within a Space, searching for a Space.

We have 100's of spaces and previously we could type in the name (even just the first few characters) and it would be in the bottom 2 results. Now we get 100's of pages and have to scroll down and down and down to find it. Or we need to use the space button at the side, find the space (perfect) and then search for a page to get the home page of the space. Many more keystrokes and mouse movements.

As an example, we have a space called Admin. We also have 100's of pages with the work Admin in them. So when you type this you do not see the space, you see all the pages. Most of the time we like to go direct to the space home page.

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Eric,

The search in the top of Confluence is to search through content, but if you need to find a specific space, then I recommend that you use [The Space Directory](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/the-space-directory-777010843.htmlq).

You can use this directory no narrow down your spaces based on categories as well as searching the name of the space.

Have a look at that, and let me know if you have any trouble.

Shannon

Jira issues macro: display count disabled
Asked by Phil Hadley:

When my JQL selects one issue, the Display As "Total issue count" becomes disabled. How do I make it display a link that uses my JQL with text "1 issue" ? It is curious that the "E.g.1 issues" link in the editor updates appropriately (see screenshot), so I suspect this is a bug.

![Screenshot 2019-09-02 11.52.12.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64972iFD5C015841FF4FF0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2019-09-02 11.52.12.png")


Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hi Phil,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!  
We've tested here and found out that it's expected that the option shows as greyed out when we use "key = TEST-123" because it means that it's a single issue. If we use OR or IN, the option to show the issue count will work.   
Please, use the JQL **key in (KP-10993)** to use the issue count for only one issue.

Hope this helps!

Regards,  
Ang?lica

comments: author: Phil Hadley
body: Ok, that works for me.

But it's odd that it works since that syntax selects the same results. Seems like the macro has knowledge of the syntax used, which is probably not the best design.

Tooltips do not dissapear when editing in line notes

The screenshot you sent our way, leads me to believe that you are affected by a known and documented issue. Since your question mentions a migration, there is a chance that the *++new server is missing some fonts++* . To solve, we can try and install such fonts.   
You can check the documentation the situation here:

Empty Dashboard, Search failing and unable to update edited page
Asked by Mark Bond:

***NOTE: All is well after a restating the server Confluence was running on. (NB: restarting the service didn't work, only a full system restart seemed to do the trick).***

***Leaving this here incase anyone else encounters the same thing.***

Hi there,

A few points to note upfront.

* Based on the recent critical security advisory, we upgraded our Confluence Server version to 6.15.8 last Thursday. All went fine with the upgrade, and all was working well on Thu and Fri last week
* This morning, at 6am (BST) I received an e-mail saying "Welcome to your Confluence Data Center trial. Nobody on our team requested this, so this seemed odd.
* We use a SQL Server as our database.

The issue(s).

Since this morning, (or at some point over th weekend). We have been encountering several problems with our Confluence server.

First we noticed that the Dashboard page was empty, and contains no Spaces in the drop down...

![2019-09-02 12_22_18-Dashboard - Confluence - Brave.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64952i121839A7959A235A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2019-09-02 12_22_18-Dashboard - Confluence - Brave.png")

We then noticed that the Search menu no longer worked either (although we can see Spaces from that)...

![2019-09-02 12_23_46-Settings.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64953i5A394438B60FCA78/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2019-09-02 12_23_46-Settings.png")

As with the search, we can see Spaces and content available by other means (e.g. by the direct url), however when we try to edit the page, and save it, we get the following error..

![2019-09-02 12_28_54-Marks TODO - Mark Bond - Confluence - Brave.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64954i3F0E2A8584F55ED2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2019-09-02 12_28_54-Marks TODO - Mark Bond - Confluence - Brave.png")

To rectify the problem, I have searched your support desk, and have tried the following:

* Re-build the content indexes and ancestor table as per this page<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/spaces-are-missing-from-the-space-directory-296093273.html>
* Check system health (all green)
* Analyse error logs (nothing major of note).

I'll keep digging in your support system, but I though it best I raise this so you can assist ASASP.

I also have our exported support zip if required (however, I can't seem to find any process for attaching this to this request).

Kind Regards,

Mark Bond

How to remove all macros of a certain type from a Confluence page?
Asked by licence:

Hello,

the title says it all. My use case is that users have a document with lots of "Panel" macros that explain what should they fill in the document. After that, they would like to have the option to bulk delete all macros (or macros of a certain type, like "Panel") from a space or a page.

How can I do this?

I have already tried the "Search and Replace" macro, but it throws me errors whenever I try to search for the "Panel" macro; I have also tried the "Source editor", but it isn't very intuitive to the end user.
