Is Jira Connect dashboard item example working?

[Xavi fernandez]

Following instructions in "Guide - Building a dashboard item for a JIRA Connect add-on" I cloned the only one example  (https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/atlassian-connect-jira-dashboard-item-example/)

After installing the add-on, I did not found the example gadget into gadget directory list adding into a Dashboard.

My dashboard item is still not working; It currently shows, but it cannot save its configuration (yet).

To get the example to show my gadget in the list, running Node.js, I had to make the following changes:

1. Update the dependencies (package.json):

"dependencies": {
  "atlassian-connect-express": "^3.0.0",
  "body-parser": "^1.14.2",
  "compression": "^1.6.0",
  "cookie-parser": "^1.4.0",
  "errorhandler": "^1.4.2",
  "express": "^4.13.3",
  "express-hbs": "*",
  "morgan": "^1.6.1",
  "ngrok": "2.2.10",
  "sleep": "^5.1.1",
  "sqlite3": "^4.0.2",
  "static-expiry": ">=0.0.5"
}

2. Replaced the app.js with one that is coded for Express v4+:

https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-connect-demo-cacheable-iframes/src/771ca5a0a5d3a89074b75173f5ea17fa4ae8031f/app.js?at=master

3. Updated the config to use sequelize (config.json):

"store": {
    "adapter": "sequelize",
    "type": "memory"
}

4. Removed the condition portion in the descriptor (atlassian-connect.json); see updated definition:

"jiraDashboardItems": [
  {
    "key": "dashboard-item-key",
    "name": {
      "value": "Search Issue",
      "i18n": "issues.in.project.i18n"
    },
    "description": {
      "value": "Search for issues based on properties.",
      "i18n": "issues.in.project.description.i18n"
    },
    "url": "/issues-in-project?dashboard={dashboard.id}&dashboardItem={dashboardItem.id}",
    "thumbnailUrl": "/thumbnail.png",
    "configurable": true
  }
]

5. Add/update the script in the header (to avoid getting "AP not defined" exception):

<script src="//connect-cdn.atl-paas.net/all.js" async></script>

Hi @Xavi fernandez 

Do you still have the clone of the repository? The URL is broken and Atlassian is not responding. 

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi @somethingblue

The links to the bitbucket repository are broken (including in the documentation). Do you have the new links? 

Thanks

Jerry

Hi Xavi,

• Are you getting any error when you attempt to run node app.js?
• Do you get a Local tunnel established message?
• Do you see that it registered the add-on?
• If you go to the localBaseUrl what message do you get back?

Let me know if all that checks out and we'll go from there.

Cheers,

Branden
