Confluence respond with error "the macro 'page.title' is unknown" when trying to create child page with attachment reference and and ignore-variables="true" setting

[qwazer]

Use case:

create page via XML-RPC
with next confluence-site-description.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bsc:site
        xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
        xmlns:bsc='https://github.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin'
        xsi:schemaLocation='https://github.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bsorrentino/maven-confluence-plugin/master/schemas/site-schema-6.0.xsd'>
    <home name="Test"
          uri="./markdown/00_parent.md" ignore-variables="true">
        <child name="Test-child" uri="./markdown/test.md" ignore-variables="true">
            <attachment uri="markdown/Monitoring.png" name="Monitoring.png"/>
        </child>
    </home>
</bsc:site>

test.md has next line

![Monitoring.png](Monitoring.png)

When trying to post to a Confluence got error

because generate content has value

!${page.title}^Monitoring.png|Monitoring.png!

Affected versions
6.1 to 6.5-beta2

Not reproduced in 6.0-rc2

Is it possible to generate attachment links without ${page.title} macro?

hi @qwazer

The issue is related to ignore-variables=true that skip all variables

Unfortunately, to fix issue #189 I've added ${page.title} variable concerning markdown image processing, now I've to take a decision

• if ignore-variables=true then remove ${page.title} in markdown image processing ?
• remove ${page.title} from ignored variablles

What are your thoughts ?

thanks in advance

Hi @bsorrentino

• First option "if ignore-variables=true then remove ${page.title} in markdown image processing"
  • Proc: do not use variables
  • Cons: break feature with Markdown portable image?
• Second option "Remove ${page.title} from ignored variables".
  Can be implemented as a special processing rule for markdown->Confluence wiki format that depends on page context (title)
  • Proc: don't break existing features
  • Cons: complex logic.

From this point of view, the second option is preferable.
