import javascript methods from different files

[Aymen Maamri]

hello,i'm currently developing a Plugin for Jira,i have a JavaScript service file and i want to export some methods so other files files can use them.both files are declared as a resource in atlassian-plugin.xml

when i try to import them from my main JavaScript file and run the plugin i receive this error :

[INFO] Compiling javascript using YUI
[ERROR] syntax error
export function sayHello() {
[ERROR] syntax error
console.log("####################TEST Import######################################################################################");
[ERROR] syntax error
};
[ERROR] Compilation produced 3 syntax errors.

is it possible to import methods or do i have to write all my code in one file ?

Hello @Aymen Maamri ,

First of all, let me mention that this is not the best place to get support on development related topics and that I might not be the best person to answer this question. The right resources are listed in https://developer.atlassian.com/resources.

Specifically:

• Ask the Developers Community
• Create a Developer Support Request

Also:

1. This thread has been created in the Jira Cloud Free collection, but atlassian-plugin.xml is used to build plugins for Jira Server. Can you kindly clarify what you are using, Server or Cloud?
2. The error returned just says "Test Import" surrounded by a lot of # symbols and it does not tell us much. Also, it does not look like a standard error message. Is this a string you have written somewhere in your code/files? 
3. You say that you have declared your files as external resources but we cannot actually see how. For example in Example of Resource Type: Stylesheet referring to Images I can read:
   

   Note: If you have multiple stylesheets and javascript resources defined, you should put the resource defintions in a Web Resource Module.

   To refer to your plugin images in a stylesheet, use a relative path based on the resource name defined for the image (which is 'my-images' in this case).

   Are you doing this or anything different? 
   

Finally, similar topics have been discussed in below threads. Please review them since you might find your answer in there: 

• CSS and Javascript not loading into Jira plugin
• How to use javascript in JIRA plugin?
• Webpack WebResource empty in browser

Cheers,
