atlassian plugin sdk 4.2 fails to build on activating testkit plugin

[Alexej Geldt]

Hello. Im trying to get my feet into integration testing of jira 5.2 plugins. I am running SDK 4.2 on Open JDK 6. Everything seems to be set up correctly. I can build and run my own jira 5.2 plugins. Now i have a couple of plugins finished and want to write integration tests for them. Therefore i have followed these instructions. https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Plugin+Tutorial+-+Smarter+integration+testing+with+TestKit

So if i get it right, the first step would be to activate testkit backdoor in the pom. My pom, which was created by sdk and modified by myself, already contained all needed entries and properties to use the testkit. All i had to do is to uncomment it.

<!-- Uncomment to use TestKit in your project. Details at https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/jira-testkit -->
<!-- You can read more about TestKit at https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Plugin+Tutorial+-+Smarter+integration+testing+with+TestKit -->
	<dependency>
		<groupId>com.atlassian.jira.tests</groupId>
		<artifactId>jira-testkit-client</artifactId>
		<version>${testkit.version}</version>
		<scope>test</scope>
	</dependency>
<!-- Uncomment to install TestKit backdoor in JIRA. -->
<pluginArtifacts>
	<pluginArtifact>
		<groupId>com.atlassian.jira.tests</groupId>
		<artifactId>jira-testkit-plugin</artifactId>
		<version>${testkit.version}</version>
	</pluginArtifact>
</pluginArtifacts>

<!-- TestKit version 5.x for JIRA 5.x, 6.x for JIRA 6.x -->
	<testkit.version>5.2.26</testkit.version>

Now it seems that maven cannot resolve the dependency for the testkit. Im getting the following output on atlas-run

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:
----------
1) com.atlassian.jira.tests:jira-testkit-client:jar:5.2.26

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command: 
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.atlassian.jira.tests -DartifactId=jira-testkit-client -Dversion=5.2.26 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.atlassian.jira.tests -DartifactId=jira-testkit-client -Dversion=5.2.26 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency: 
  	1) com.bssnsoftware.jira.plugin:vip-fields-plugin:atlassian-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT
  	2) com.atlassian.jira.tests:jira-testkit-client:jar:5.2.26

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact: 
  com.bssnsoftware.jira.plugin:vip-fields-plugin:atlassian-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT

from the specified remote repositories:
  atlassian-plugin-sdk (file:///usr/share/atlassian-plugin-sdk-4.2.0/repository),
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
  atlassian-public (https://m2proxy.atlassian.com/repository/public)

This is the output of atlas-version

I am not very familiar with maven and dont know much about how it resolves dependecies. Usualy i have just added dependencies that i needed to the pom and didnt care where the ressources actualy came from. However, this time it seems maven fails to find the ressource that i need.

ps: Ive figured that i cannot access https://m2proxy.atlassian.com/repository/public from the browser.

Fixed it.

The problem was in wrong testkit-client version. In my pom i have changed

<testkit.version>5.2.26</testkit.version> in <testkit.version>5.0.27</testkit.version>.

5.2.26 is set by SDK. I have trusted that this was a valid version for atlassian testkit. Checked the atlassian public repository and couldnt find this version there. So decided to pick any version that was present in repository. That fixed the problem.

One more thing to mention. You must have an empty xml folder in your src/test folder if you are using "atlas-integration-test"

didn't work for me...

This is what ive found in default .m2/repository

alexej@Alexej-Laptop:~/.m2/repository/com/atlassian/jira/tests/jira-testkit-client/5.2.26$ cat jira-testkit-client-5.2.26.pom.lastUpdated

What does it mean? I have no $env.ATLAS_HOME set. Just $ATLAS_HOME which i used to set manually.

correction. i can actualy access that repository from browser. was a typo.
