User Macro space list by category doesn´t show anything

[Hendrik Huerkamp]

Hey folks,

we used a macro showing the description and the name of all spaces with a certain category which has to be inserted in the macro as parameter. 

We have added all needed actions to the cataina_opts parameter and checked the logfile for missing allowlist entries and added them as well to the according environment parameter but the macro isn´t showing any results. Has anyone a hint, whats wrong with it?

## @param CategoryLabel:title=Space Category|type=string|required=true|desc=The category you want to list spaces from.
## @param CategoryHeading:title=Heading|type=string|required=false|desc=Heading of first column in result table.


## try to get space category
#set ($spaceLabel = "projects")

## check if space category exists
#if ($!spaceLabel)
 ## try to get spaces by category
 #set ($spaces = $action.labelManager.getSpacesWithLabel($spaceLabel))

 ## sort spaces alphabetically with bubble sort - takes n^2 passes
 #set ($outerCnt = -1)
 #foreach ($outerSpace in $spaces)
  #set ($outerCnt = $outerCnt + 1)
  #if ($outerCnt < $spaces.size()) ##Preventing bad array access

   #set ($innerCnt = -1)
   #foreach ($innerSpace in $spaces)
    #set ($innerCnt = $innerCnt + 1)
    #if ($innerCnt < $spaces.size()) ##Preventing bad array access

     ## Compare this and previous. If this is smaller, swap
     #if ($innerSpace.name.compareToIgnoreCase($spaces.get($outerCnt).name) > 0 )
      #set ($tmp = $spaces.get($outerCnt))
      #set ($outerSpace = $spaces.set($outerCnt, $innerSpace))
      #set ($outerSpace = $spaces.set($innerCnt, $tmp))
     #end

    #end
   #end

  #end

<table>
 <tr>
  #if (${paramCategoryHeading})
   <th>${paramCategoryHeading}</th>
  #else
   <th>Bereich</th>
  #end
  <th>Beschreibung</th>
 </tr>
 #foreach ($space in $spaces)
  ## check if current user can view space
  #if ($permissionHelper.canView($action.remoteUser, $space))
   #set ($spaceDescription = $space.getDescription())
   <tr>
    <td><a href="$!space.urlPath">$!space.name</a></td>
    <td>$spaceDescription.getBodyAsString()</td>
   </tr>
  #end

    </table>
#else
 <div class="aui-message warning">

   <span class="aui-icon icon-warning">Warning</span>
   <strong>Space category not found</strong>
  </p>
  <p>Couldn't find space category <strong>$paramLabel</strong>!</p>
 </div>
#end

many thanks for any help!

Hi @Hendrik Huerkamp 

Which macro are you using?  

[Hendrik Huerkamp]

Hey Shawn,

it´s a user macro we defined in the system configuration using the code mentioned above. It worked for years, but stopped working something like a year ago. Do you have any hint, why it is not showing any results? It just says "Couldn´t find space category $paramLabel" - the "$paramLabel" is not resolved to the category we´ve added..

Thanks and regards

Hendrik

I would assume if it stopped working one of it's dependencies changed, maybe during an update.
