database-values-plugin failed to enable

[Miroslav Hržica]

I have problem with JIRA Database Values Plugin installation.

I have performed installation by putting plugin file (database-values-plugin-1.3.jar) in JIRAPP/lib folder.

After installation plugin is disabled and this error is logged in atlassian-jira.log:

The following plugins failed to load:
database-values-plugin: There was a problem loading the descriptor for module 'Database Values Selection Field' in plugin 'database-values-plugin'.
 Error retrieving dependency of class: org.deblauwe.jira.plugin.databasevalues.DatabaseValuesCFType. Missing class: com/atlassian/jira/issue/customfields/SortableCustomField

I have tried installation on production server:
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)
Java: jdk1.6.0_27
JIRA: enterprise 4.3.3

After unsuccessful installation on production server I have tried installation on virtual server (virtualbox).
OS: CentOS release 5.8 (Final)

And most combinations of:
Java: java6u27 and java6u31
Jira versions: 4.3.3, 4.2.2 and 4.4.1
Plugin versions: 1.2 and 1.3
Database: mysql and HSQL


Windows VM:
OS: Windows XP sp3
JAVA: 1.6.0_31
Jira version: 4.2.2-b589
Plugin version: 1.3

In every combination I have tried I have same error.

[Wim Deblauwe · Accepted solution]

See https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JDVP/JIRA+Database+Values+Plugin#JIRADatabaseValuesPlugin-Installation for information on how to install the plugin. It is a "plugins one" plugin, which means you have to install it in the WEB-INF/lib folder.

Let me know if you might have other problems.

regards,

Wim

That was solution :)

As usual problem was in only step I assumed it was correct.

Thank you
