JIRA macro on Confluence Dashboard

[Sasha Solig]

I have a custom Confluence Dashboard which I would like to include a JIRA macro on (to show the current user's open issues). By including the following code in my Global Layout I get the desired JIRA content, however, the loading icon (spinning wheel) will not disappear on page load. 

$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{jira:columns=type,key,summary,status|maximumIssues=10|jqlQuery=assignee = currentUser() AND resolution = Unresolved order by created desc}")

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue

Sorry no we didn't.

Hello there!
We could do a quick test, Sasha. Create a New Page and insert the Jira Issues Macro in that. After macro insertion, you can use the Same JQL as your custom code and then check if the behaviour is similar.

I tried but could not replicate this locally. I would like to first replicate the issue and then look for a solution. How does that sound?
Is it be possible for you to share the whole Global Layout code you have running in your Confluence instance?
Also, could you describe step-by-step how this modification was applied in your instance?

Important Note
When sharing content from your instance, be careful not to disclose any sensitive information. Since Community is a public space, everyone can see everything posted here.

Looking forward to your reply Sasha!

Hi Diego,

confirmed that the same macro on a new page works correctly (i.e. no loading icon).

Here is our Global Layout:

#* @vtlvariable name="params" type="java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.Object>
" *#
#* @vtlvariable name="infoPanelRequired" type="java.lang.Boolean" *#
#* @vtlvariable name="action" type="com.atlassian.confluence.dashboard.actions.DashboardAction" *#
#* @vtlvariable name="body" type="java.lang.String" *#
#* @vtlvariable name="helper" type="com.atlassian.confluence.themes.GlobalHelper" *#

## GLOBAL DECORATOR
## This decorator handles a global context, i.e. information which is independent of space.
## Supports modes: 'dashboard', 'userdir', 'rss'.

#set ($mode = $params.get("mode"))
#set ($context = $params.get("context"))
#set ($helper = $params.get("helper"))

#macro(renderInfoPanel)
## INFO PANEL FOR ANY PAGE
#infoPanelInitFromParams()
#if ($infoPanelRequired)
<div style="width: $params.get(" infopanel-width")" id="helptd">
#infoPanel(true true true true)
</div>
#end
#end

#macro(renderDashboardPanels $panelLocation)
$deprecated.since("6.0")
#foreach ($webPanel in $webInterfaceManager.getDisplayableWebPanels($panelLocation, {}))
<div class="dashboard-item">
$!webPanel.getHtml($req.getParameterMap())
</div>
#end
#end

#requireResourcesForContext("global")
<div class="pagebody">
#parse ("/template/includes/actionerrors.vm")


#rssautodiscovery($action.rssDescriptor)
#permitSearchEngines()
## If one or more plugins provide a web-panel to replace the dashbaord, we use the first one
#set ($dashboardWebPanels = $webInterfaceManager.getDisplayableWebPanels("atl.dashboard", {}))

## Dashboard from plugin
<content tag="show-main-container">false</content>

This layout originated in a much earlier version of Confluence. We customised it to include a local news feed page (via the include macro) and modified column widths to suit our site.
