How to troubleshoot JIRA customfield searcher

[courchesne]

Hi,

I'm developping a new JIRA custom field (AbstractMultiCFType).  My field works just fine and I want to add search and sort functionnality.  So I added a new plugin module «atlas-create-jira-plugin-module» for searching.

When I load my plugin the column in my issue navigator doesn't allow me to sort or search,  Here is my atlassian-plugin.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<atlassian-plugin key="${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}" name="${project.name}" plugins-version="2">
  <plugin-info>
    <description>${project.description}</description>
    <version>${project.version}</version>
    <vendor name="${project.organization.name}" url="${project.organization.url}"/>
    <param name="plugin-icon">images/pluginIcon.png</param>
    <param name="plugin-logo">images/pluginLogo.png</param>
  </plugin-info>
  <!-- add our i18n resource -->
  <resource type="i18n" name="i18n" location="CompteUsagerUQTR"/>
  <!-- add our web resources -->
  <web-resource key="CompteUsagerUQTR-resources" name="CompteUsagerUQTR Web Resources">

    <resource type="download" name="CompteUsagerUQTR.js" location="/js/CompteUsagerUQTR.js"/>
    <resource type="download" name="images/" location="/images"/>

  </web-resource>
  <!-- import from the product container -->
  <component-import key="applicationProperties" interface="com.atlassian.sal.api.ApplicationProperties"/>
  <customfield-type name="Compte Usager UQTR" i18n-name-key="compte-usager-uqtr.name" key="compte-usager-uqtr" class="ca.uqtr.jira.plugin.CompteUsagerUQTR">

  </ao>
  <component-import key="ao" name="Active Objects components" interface="com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.ActiveObjects">

  </component-import>
  <customfield-searcher name="Compte Usager UQTR Searcher" i18n-name-key="compte-usager-uqtr-searcher.name" key="compte-usager-uqtr-searcher" class="ca.uqtr.jira.plugin.CompteUsagerUQTRSearcher">
    <description key="compte-usager-uqtr-searcher.description">The Compte Usager UQTR Searcher Plugin</description>
    <resource name="search" type="velocity" location="/templates/customfields/compte-usager-uqtr-searcher/search.vm"/>
    <resource name="view" type="velocity" location="/templates/customfields/compte-usager-uqtr-searcher/search.vm"/>
    <valid-customfield-type package="ca.uqtr.jira.plugin.CompteUsagerUQTR" key="compte-usager-uqtr"/>
  </customfield-searcher>
</atlassian-plugin>

I search a way to make it work or to troubleshoot and know what's wrong..

Thanks

Finally JIRA is recognizing my searcher after I refactored all the code of the plugin to use all function.

Note that it recognize it only in my JIRA server; I can't make it work on the JIRA instance that come with the SDK.

Here is my plugin page, all plugins seems to work just fine:

The searcher is active and the custom field too, is there any other thing i gotta check?

[courchesne]

${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId} refer to ca.uqtr.jira.plugin.CompteUsagerUQTR si I think that part is ok..

I dont know how to set the searcher:

If it is search template, he is empty..?

Check under the plugin modules to see if the searcher was loaded correctly. For some reason, it is not associated with the field.

package on the valid-customfield-type tag should be the JIRA plugin key and not the java package. If that is correct, make sure you have set the searcher after creating the custom field.
