- Project configurator plugin crashes when trying to export a 5.2.7 project
Project configurator plugin crashes when trying to export a 5.2.7 project
Hi,
We are trying to export some project configurations from 5.2.7 standalone (database from upgraded jira) into another 5.2.7 standalone instance (new database without projects).
The project configurator plugin throws this error when I click on project config export (project administration side bar):
Export failed!. javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException - with linked exception: [org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; Premature end of file.] Stack trace:

Do you know what could be causing this issue?
Thanks,

Hi Jose,
I think I found the issue and seems to be related with some missing plugins for custom fields at our original jira version 3.x.
I'll try removing the obsolete plugins first, then upgrade to jira latest and then try the plugin again.
Thanks for the help, we will try the upcoming plugin version for sure.

The issue you are reporting happens when exporting a workflow, its likely cause being that some object (custom field, group, etc.) used by the workflow cannot be found. You should find extra information in the JIRA log.
Take into account that in the new version due for next week, we plan to add other improvements to error reporting during export:
- Context information, to show the step and object that triggered the error
- Clearer messages for errors found in workflow processing
We hope this will be a great help in cases like yours!
