How can i use resources in jira plugin ?

[xu zhijian]

I want to use a js file in my plugin . so i add

<web-resource key="myresource" name="Myresource" >
        <dependency>com.atlassian.auiplugin:ajs</dependency>
        <dependency>jira.webresources:jira-global</dependency>
        <dependency>jira.webresources:autocomplete</dependency>
        <resource type="download" name="test.js" location="javascripts/test.js">
          <property key="content-type" value="text/javascript"/>
        </resource> 
        <context>page</context>
    </web-resource>

to the atlassian-plugin.xml . Then I use #requireResource("com.jira.plugin:myresource") in my gadget xml file . But it seems doesn't work . and test.js just includes alert("haha");

Does any one know how to add a external resource to the plugin ?? Thanks .

firstly,you ensure the prefix "com.jira.plugin" is the key of your plugin.

secondly,you try to modify the <context> to "<context>alt.general</context>"

this is my jira web-source's definition:

<web-resource key="myWorklogResource" name="myWorklogResource" >
    	<description>this web-resource is for creating or editing the work log about budget selector</description>
    	<dependency>com.atlassian.auiplugin:ajs</dependency>
        <dependency>com.atlassian.auiplugin:jquery</dependency>
    	<resource type="download" name="budgetselector.js" location="javascript/budgetselector.js"/>
    	<resource type="download" name="budgetselector.css" location="css/budgetselector.css"/>
    	<context>atl.general</context>
    </web-resource>

and it works .

good luck

Hi. I can't run the javascript too. I'm using JIRA 7.2 and I'm trying to create a page in the JIRA admin add-ons to keep some data using active objects, but for now I'm only want to understand how to execute the javascript.

<web-resource key="asb-resources" name="asb Web Resources">  <dependency>com.atlassian.auiplugin:ajs</dependency>  <resource type="download" name="asb.css" location="/css/asb.css" />  <resource type="download" name="asb.js" location="/js/asb.js" />  <resource type="download" name="images/" location="/images" />  <context>atl.admin</context> </web-resource> <web-section name="asbSettings" i18n-name-key="asb-admin-settings.name" key="asb-admin-settings" location="admin_plugins_menu" weight="1000">  <description key="asb-admin-settings.description">Settings for asb plugins</description>  <label key="asb-admin-settings.label">asb Admin Settings</label> </web-section> <web-item name="abLink" i18n-name-key="ab-link.name" key="ab-link" section="admin_plugins_menu/asb-admin-settings" weight="100">  <description key="ab-link.description">Administration of connections with AB</description>  <label key="ab-link.label">AB Link</label>  <link linkId="ab-link-link">/secure/ListABLink!default.jspa</link> </web-item>

The link in the web-item send to a velocity template where I'm trying to create a pop-up when the user click in a button. I put some console.log and alert in the asb.js, but nothing happen.

Anyone know what is wrong here?

Thanks.

Hi!

I learned that You have to use 

<meta name="decorator" content="atl.admin" />

within your .vm file to have JS loading and excuting.

every other one like

<meta name="decorator" content="atl.general" />

only loads the CSS part of your webresource.

Hope this helps!

regards,

Hans

The log shows " Cannot find web resource module for: com.jira.plugin:myresource ".
