Infinite loader on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon

[denis-colliot]

Tested version

• Companion version: 0.3-2 (installed with .deb package)
• Confluence version: 1000.0.0-04939a47e6a9 (cloud version: <mycompany>.atlassian.net)

System details

• OS : Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon
• Cinnamon version : 4.4.8
• Linux Kernel : 5.3.0-42-generic
• Browsers (both fail) : Chrome 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) + Firefox 74.0 (64-bit)

Behaviour

Edit popup opens and its inner loader starts rolling indefinitely:

Can you please start companion.py in terminal and post the output here?

killall companion.py 
companion.py
# Please click on "Edit with" now. This should produce some output in the terminal.

Which version of Confluence are you using?

[denis-colliot]

I got the following result just by viewing the file on confluence (I didn't even click on "Edit with"):

$ killall companion.py
$ companion.py
< {"type":"authentication","payload":{"provider":"jwt","payload":"<PAYLOAD>"},"requestID":1}
Error in connection handler
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/denis/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/websockets/server.py", line 191, in handler
    await self.ws_handler(self, path)
  File "/usr/bin/companion.py", line 265, in companionHandler
    await handleJson( websocket, json.loads(request) )
  File "/usr/bin/companion.py", line 64, in handleJson
    currentSiteTitle = requestjson["payload"]["payload"]["siteTitle"]
TypeError: string indices must be integers

I also updated my first comment with confluence version.

[schorschii]

Hmm, the first line does not look like the requests from Confluence I discovered. My script expects something like this:

{"type":"authentication","payload":{"provider":"server","payload":{"siteTitle":"Übersicht"}},"requestID":1}

Your output says:

... "provider":"jwt" ...

Is there maybe something else running on your machine which connects to port 31459?

Are you using some kind of dev/beta version? At the bottom of my Confluence I see something like "Powered by Atlassian Confluence 6.15.9". Maybe Atlassian has changed something in a newer version. I'll take a closer look at that.

[denis-colliot]

Well, JWT is a common authentication mechanism, it's not a really a surprise to see that Confluence is using it.

By the way, I am using a cloud version of Confluence: <mycompany>.atlassian.net

And there is no process on my local machine using the port 31459.

And, no such footer on my Confluence pages, I found the version through the "Help" menu on the sidebar:

[schorschii]

Yes, it's not a surprise, but I never discovered it before in Companion context.

I haven't tested it yet with a cloud version of confluence. I'll take a closer look at that.

@denis-colliot
Can you please test the companion script from the current master branch?

[schorschii]

@denis-colliot
Where are u?

[denis-colliot]

Well I have quite a lot of work to do and testing your code is not on my top priorities list right now ;-)

But, as soon as I have a few moments, I'll give it another try and I'll come back to you.

[denis-colliot]

Just so you know, I tried with your latest master version (c45b8fe) and it worked! \o/

Well I had to accept a system popup asking me if I trusted "atlassian.com" and then magic appeared:

Unfortunately, the confluence solution isn't well adapted for my company's problem so I no longer need your script, but keep on the good work!

Thanks for your feedback!
