jira json descriptor file

[Arsin Effecta]

We are getting Error as " Invalid .json descriptor file" while making internal add on in JIRA cloud instance.

Please help.

Hi @Arsin Effecta
The descriptor installs okay for me.  
Can you please try browsing to your descriptor baseUrl to verify it is correct?
ie. 

https://85149a26.ngrok.io/JIRA/atlassian-connect.json

should show your descriptor.

Also, I recommend following the developing locally guide, as the JIRA logs may provide more info and you won't need to list your add-on in Marketplace until it is ready.

Still it is showing as Invalid .json descriptor file

This is the file content

{ "name": "Hello World Plug",
"description": "Atlassian Connect add-on",
"key": "net.ArsinEffecta.jira.Eff",
"baseUrl": "https://85149a26.ngrok.io/JIRA",
"vendor": { "name": "Arsin, Inc.", "url": "http://arsin.com" }, "authentication": { "type": "none" }, "apiVersion": 1, "modules": { "generalPages": [ { "url": "/Helloworld.html", "key": "hello-world", "location": "system.top.navigation.bar", "name": { "value": "Greeting" } } ] } }

Attached is the validation Pass result.Please help.JsonErrorFile.jpg

You have two semicolons in your Atlassian Connect descriptor. Try using this instead:

{ "name": "Hello World", 
   "description": "Atlassian Connect add-on", 
     "key": "net.ArsinEffecta.jira.EffectaPlug", 
       "baseUrl": "https://arsin-it.atlassian.net", 
         "vendor": { "name": "Arsin, Inc.", "url": "http://arsin.com" }, "authentication": { "type": "none" }, "apiVersion": 1, "modules": { "generalPages": [ { "url": "/Helloworld.html", "key": "hello-world", "location": "system.top.navigation.bar", "name": { "value": "Greeting" } } ] } }

Also, you should use the Atlassian Connect Validator to verify that your descriptor is correct.

Currently I don't have any local instance of JIRA.I just use trial version of JIRA cloud and developed one simple  plugin to host it as private add on.

Please refer the file from here.

This is the file content:

{ "name": "Hello World", "description": "Atlassian Connect add-on", "key": "net.ArsinEffecta.jira.EffectaPlug", "baseUrl": "https://arsin-it.atlassian.net";, "vendor": { "name": "Arsin, Inc.", "url": "http://arsin.com";

 } ] } }

Please try using the validator before installing it in a cloud instance: https://atlassian-connect-validator.herokuapp.com/validate

You'll probably need to post the json file in order for us to help you. Does it work when you install it on a local instance? Is the json file listed as private add-on on the marketplace?
