Is there a way to have confluence build a chart that shows the aggregate of junit test reports
Asked by mgreco:

Is there a way to have confluence build a chart that shows the aggregate of junit test reports ? I would basically like to send new junit test reports into confluence and have it show the aggregate of the junit test files I've given it in a confluence page.

I'm probably looking for the same thing with Cobertura (code coverage) reports.

Thank you !

body: Hi [@mgreco](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4086424) ,

I'm not sure if this is your case, but if your test reports return in CSV or JSON formats, then the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app may come in handy.

Check if the app has been already installed for your instance - look for the filtering button near the Edit page button or search for the Table Filter macro in the macro browser.

The algorithm will be as following:

1. Use the [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) or [Table from JSON](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+JSON+macro) macros to upload your test report as a table onto your Confluence page (you may output data from a URL or an attached file).
2. Wrap your macro in the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro and create a sequence of Table from CSV (JSON) \<- Pivot Table \<- Chart from Table macros.
3. As you may guess, the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro will aggregate your data like in Excel and the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macro will visualize your information.

The Table Toolbox macro is required to nest several macros - Cloud Confluence doesn't support this feature. But for Server/DC you'll be able to wrap macros inside each other directly.

body: I'm trying to figure out how to get all the reports expressed as JSON which that's easy to do for junit (unit testing reports) and a little tricker for cobertura (code coverage reports). The second I figure that out then I can work on the rest of this which I think the 1st part of that is figuring out how to use the confluence api to post these JSON files up for consumption into confluence.

Can you embed a Zipped Folder on a page?
Asked by Paul Gibbons:

I want to present a Zipped folder that contains X number of different documents that when a colleague clicks they are able to download the zipped file.

Is this possible?

> 8. Click the file

If you click the file that is present in your page, Confluence will even preview the contents of the Zipped file:

At the top right corner, while previewing the file, you will have the download button right beside the close button!

I hope this clarifies how this feature works. Let us hear from you!

Confluence creating Pages in Spanish...why?
Asked by Dave Anderson:

I'm just learning Confluence and I created a test project. The entire project is in English except for the default pages which are in Spanish (see below). Is this expected as part of the free version? How can I change this? I've gone into the settings-\>Language and verifies that the default language is set to English(US).

Thanks for any help.

Change site name after migration
Asked by Pavel Junek:

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to do the following:

I have Jira and Confluence cloud together on one domain eg. <https://xyz.atlassian.net>. We using Jira for some time now and we buy Confluence in standard plan recently. We already have some content in Confluence, but we don't know if we will continue to use Confluence.

We have the opportunity to get a 6-month trial version to try Confluence, but only on the condition that we have to create a new trial Confluence site (with a different address eg. [https://qwerty.atlassian.net).](https://qwerty.atlassian.net).?)

Can we migrate data from an existing Confluence to this trial version?

If we decide to continue with Confluence after 6 months, is it possible to change the Confluence domain name (URL) so that it is together with Jira (<https://xyz.atlassian.net/wiki>)?

Thank you

Pavel


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: [@Pavel Junek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1157350)Yes, it is possible to change the name afterwards. However the process means you need to contact Atlassian support and ask them to do it for you.

Another possibility is to generate a cloud backup on qwerty.atlassian.net, and then import the backup into xyz.atlassian.net. Be careful when doing this, in order to not overwrite data in xyz.atlassian.net.

Problem with PowerPlantUML macro
Asked by Anna Panfilova:

I used PowerPlantUML Confluence macro during several months and I like this macro very much. But yesterday I got an error with all my diagrams that have worked before. Reinstalling the macro to Confluence haven't helped. Can you, please, help me with this problem?

this is most likely to be an issue with the graphviz binary on the system where Confluence is installed. You should check with your System Administrator if the package is properly installed and up to date.

Let me know if this helps,

Thank you for the answer :)  
It seems like sequence diagrams are working, but code for tables returns an error.

Code like this:

@startuml  
!define table(x) class x \<\< (T,#FFAAAA) \>\>  
hide methods  
hide stereotypes

table(table1) {  
id: int8  
field1: varchar  
field2: varchar  
}

table(table2) {  
id: int8  
field1: varchar  
field2: varchar  
}  
@enduml

I use confluence cloud for free and can't see its backend.

It looks like some jar libraries for table drawing disappeared.

But the day before yesterday tables drawing worked.

And macro reinstallation doesn't help.


author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Anna Panfilova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4260286) ,

in this case I would get in touch with the addon support : <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/1215743/alan-gibson>

Freeze the JIRA ticket status on a Confluence Page
Asked by Majo:

We create Confluence pages corresponding to each Sprint in JIRA.

Page 1 : We have JIRA JQL Macros Eg : jql : project = ABC and sprint = S1

Page 2 : jql : project = ABC and sprint = S2

Imagine Sprint S1 when Closed has 10 issues ( 8 Done and 3 In Progress ).

The 3 'In Progress' issues are moved to next Sprint S2 and are Closed in S2.

Now if I visit Page 1 in confluence, it would show 10 issues all 'Closed' which is the current status. I have no-way of knowing what was the status of all issues "when Sprint S1 was Closed". (I am aware of JQL functions like "incompleteInSprint". However they will not help in my case as I need the exact status )

Is there a way I can "freeze" a confluence page to retrieve data from JIRA only once and cache it somehow, and don't query JIRA again ?


Answers:
author: Charlie Misonne
body: I'm pretty sure you can't freeze the Jira macro.

A couple of workarounds I have in mind. None of them are ideal.

1. Take a screenshot instead of a using a macro
2. Use scriptrunner and use a scripted field where you fetch the status at a particular moment in time
3. Edit the time to live  
   By setting this to a very high number no Jira macro's will be refreshed. Of course tis impacts your whole instance

Header of table cannot be copied (server)
Asked by Kristin Beck:

Dear community,

we have faced the following problems, which hinders our customers from copying attributes from certain tables:  

As you can see below here![header cannot be copied.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/129886i35F5CD860B16D165/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "header cannot be copied.png") , the heading row (PLOT_FK) cannot be copied individually.   

As you cann see here ![heading row can be copied.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/129888iFA27B4BE8D851786/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "heading row can be copied.png"), this doesn't happen for every table. Yet, we chose the same format, and the second table with "interface" in the first column, is located in the same space as "PLOT_FK".   

We'd be happy if you could help out here!  

Many thanks.

Kristin


Answers:
author: Charlie Misonne
body: The Confluence editor is/ was not great, especially when copy-pasting tables.  
It got better in more recent versions but still, what you're trying to achieve is simply not possible.

It should work better when you're in the page edit mode. I tested on v7.3.4 and I'm able to copy table headers just fine when in edit mode.

Here is a feature request you can vote for: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56411>

comments: author: Kristin Beck
body: Thanks, Charlie! The problem for us still remains outside the edit mode. Since our customers cannot "edit", they must copy tables from the wiki page itself and hence, the issue is unresolved for us.

If a draw.io diagram never renders onto a page, what can we do to troubleshoot?
Asked by pminty:

For some of our users, we get often get draw.io diagrams not rendering onto the Confluence page.

Typically we get a progress wheel spinning, but never a rendered diagram.

So far this is happening to users with Google Chrome browsers.

This has happened after a creator of a draw.io diagram saves the diagram and returns to the Confluence page.

As there are many possible root causes, what can we do to troubleshoot? What have other users done when the draw.io diagram does not render onto a page?


Answers:
author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: There are a variety of reasons, browser extensions, networks, reverse proxies, security software.

The quickest route is to file a support ticket at <https://drawio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14/group/15/create/49> and usually we'll jump into a video call to look directly at the problem.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@pminty](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3878152)

We have seen this after an update has been release for the cloud software and the browsers cache has old javascript that caused the issue. Clearing the cache has fixed this for us in the past. Have you tried this yet?

comments: author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: To extend on that, there is a process for fully clearing out draw.io from cache because it runs as a PWA.

- Close all browser tabs where draw.io diagrams are displayed (including Confluence pages).

- Go to <https://ac.draw.io/clear.html> . It will tell you when the PWA is cleared.

- Try viewing the diagram again.

How can I run IFTTT create page only if the page does not exist?
Asked by Yangyang Liu:

Hi Alex,

How can I run IFTTT create a page conditionally so that no duplicate page would be created?

Or in another word, what condition can I apply to the parameter of "Fire IFTTT action only when this condition/filter is met", so that the IFTTT would fire an action only if the page does not exist?

I am creating the page directly as a child page of the IFTTT-residing page.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

In ConfiForms conditions you can check what exists in ConfiForms form.

That means you cannot really check if the page exists in the condition...

But you can set up your ConfiForms IFTTT macro (Create page) that skips creation if it already exists

This is by enabling this parameter on the macro

#search-ui {display:none !important}

or replacing the above selector with #quick-search-query.
