Condition Existence of a Confluence Link

[Todd Winton]

We have requirements for there to be documentation in confluence of change requests. Is it possible to have a workflow condition to verify the existence of a confluence link?

Hi Todd,

In order to help you, we need to understand what do you mean by Confluence Link, is to check if there's a Confluence Application Link between JIRA and Confluence or verify if a page exists?

Regards,

Rafael

This is to verify the existence of a link to a confluence page.  

[Rafael Franco]

Yes Todd, but specifically what kind of link? How do you know if a link exists? does it give a 404 when it doesn't?

[Todd Winton]

We have the requirement for certain issue types that documentation be created in confluence and linked in the issue.  We want to verify that a link to a confluence page exists in the issue.

To just check for the presence of an app link you can use:

import com.atlassian.applinks.api.ApplicationLink
import com.atlassian.applinks.api.ApplicationLinkService
import com.atlassian.applinks.api.application.confluence.ConfluenceApplicationType
import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator

def applicationLinkService = ComponentLocator.getComponent(ApplicationLinkService)
final ApplicationLink conflLink = applicationLinkService.getPrimaryApplicationLink(ConfluenceApplicationType)
conflLink as boolean

Todd,

Did you try to use the REST api to query that? https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/latest/#content-getContent

[Todd Winton]

No I have not.  There is built in the script to verify the existence of a duplicate issue link from script runner: issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains.('Duplicate').  How can I use something similar to verify that an issue link exists at all?
