Support for sprint variables 🎁

Background

Many teams don’t use versions in Jira, instead, they use sprints in Jira. Some also use sprints along with versions in Jira to manage their projects. In ARN we mainly support versions and version variables to generate release notes. Hence, we need to provide support for sprint variables like version variables in ARN.

User Story

As a user I want to insert sprint variables in my ARN templates so that I can publish release notes for the sprints created in my Jira project(s).

Description

Addition of Sprint Variables in Variables

• In all types of templates, we can add various types of variables. We will include following sprint variables in that list :

• As the no. of variables in the select menu have increased, we will convert this select menu into ‘Grouped Select Menu’

( Refer: https://atlassian.design/components/select/examples#grouped-options ) like this

Image Added

• Variables shall be grouped like this:

• System shall replace the sprint variables with the actual value for a sprint which user shall select on the sprint selector screen. (similar to the way value of version variables is replaced in template preview currently)

Sprint variables in the JQL

Just like version variables, users can use multiple sprint variables in the JQL.

project = "11915" and Sprint = ""

project = "11915" and Sprint in ("","")

• Sprint variables used in the JQL like this shall be accepted in the JQL validation.
• Users can also use sprintName variable instead of the sprintId variable and system shall recognize the sprint just like versionName variable is honored instead of versionId variable in the JQL.

project ="11915" and sprint in ("","") 

Version Selector screen - in-project

• Currently when version variables are used in the template or the JQL , then on version selector screen, system asks the user to select corresponding versions for each of the version variables used in the template.
• Same way when users have included sprint variables in the template or the JQL, then on version selector screen, system shall also ask the user to select corresponding sprint along with the version.

Refer:

Image Added

• No of sprint selectors shown on version selector screen shall depend upon no of unique sprint variables used in the template.
• Similar to versions, selecting sprint on version selector screen shall be optional.
• System shall show all the sprints available in the project in sprint selector irrespective of their state.( 'future', 'active', 'closed' )
• If the template has no version variables but only sprint variables, then on version selector screen only sprint select menus shall be shown.
• Change in message shown on version selector screen
  • In case of multiple versions, we show the message on version selector screen. This message shall be changed to a generalized version like this.
    • When multiple version and sprint variables are used

• When no version or sprint variable is used.

Version Selector screen - cross-project

• In case of cross project version selector screen, user has to select the project before selecting the version variable.
• Similar to this, system shall ask user to select the sprint below the corresponding project selector.
• few examples
  • when there are two version variables and two sprint variables included in the template

Image Added

• • when there is one version variable and two sprint variables included in the template

Image Added

• • when there is no version variable and two sprint variables included in the template

Image Added

• Change in message shown on version selector screen
  • In case of cross project, we show the message on version selector screen. This message shall be changed to a generalized version like this.

Rule Triggers

• On the rules create/edit page, we will include one more trigger i.e. Sprint completed
  Refer:

Image Added

• When this trigger is selected, rule shall gets triggered whenever a sprint is marked as completed in the project.
• This rule trigger shall be available only in in-project ARN screen presently.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users should be able to include sprint variables in the template in all types of the templates.
• System shall ask users to select sprint on version selector screen when sprint variables are used in the template. (in both in-project and cross-project screens.)
• User should be able to use ‘sprint completed’ rule trigger and system shall trigger such rule whenever any sprint is marked as completed in the project.
• All other features of ARN shall work as it is.

Support for Confluence's 'Expand' macro 🎁

Background

Currently ARN cloud app supports following macros for Confluence (in the templates)

• Info
• Tip
• Note
• Warning
• Table of contents
• Children display
• Panel
• Page Properties
• Jira Issues / Filter

Currently there is no support for ‘Expand’ macro in ARN confluence template. One common request is to allow ‘Expand’ macro within these templates.

User Story

As a user I should be able to include ‘Expand’ macro in ARN confluence template so that I can publish it in my confluence release notes.

Description

1. We’ll be adding support for new macro called ‘Expand' in add macro drop down in add/edit confluence template screen.
   Insert Macro:

Unable to render embedded object: File (f342f9b3-1a0d-4c42-9531-9dfe8328170e#media-blob-url=true&id=78cc17b7-3581-4741-b455-f5e495f88ec7&collection=contentId-3418914831&contextId=3418914831&mimeType=image%2Fpng&name=image-20211004-131910.png&size=239223&width=1049&height=567&alt=) not found.

1. When user selects ‘Expand’ macro, it will open a pop up to capture additional details related to macro.

The pop-up will have two fields

Title :
Tinymce text editor (which is used for all other macros) with following changes

1. 1. Title defines the text that appears next to the expand/collapse icon.
   2. Default title will be shown in the text box as “Click here to expand... “
   3. If required, user can modify the title text as per his need.
   4. Confluence does not allow enhancements in the text such as format, bold, italic, font-color, font-size, background color, Text alignment .
   5. Include options to insert variables and stats
   6. Below the text editor, show this text as tip - “This text will be shown in single line as title of expand macro in the generated page.”

#Content :
Tinymce text editor (which is used for all other macros) with following changes

1. 1. 1. Add support to insert
         1. Link
         2. Files & Images
         3. Table
      2. Disable support for options in text editor as they are not supported in confluence for expand macro currently.
         1. Text alignment options such as right,, center, justify align
            1. All the text will be left aligned by default
         2. Indentation options i.e. decrease indent & increase indent

Refer this wireframe:

Image Added

1. When added, this macro would appear same as other macros within the ARN template

Unable to render embedded object: File (fbaccf7b-f62d-40d0-bda3-4ada273e568a#media-blob-url=true&id=120f8547-b194-4a3c-aec4-ccd5ab685691&collection=contentId-3418914831&contextId=3418914831&mimeType=image%2Fpng&name=image-20211004-132915.png&size=155058&width=953&height=381&alt=) not found.

1. When user previews the template, it will show the details of macro like other macros in following format

5. When confluence page is published using this template, ARN will insert macro with the captured details.

Refer for markup details : https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-expand-macro/

Acceptance Criteria 

• User should be able to select and insert expand macro in confluence template.
• ARN should insert expand macro in the confluence page created/updated through rule execution.
• Expand macro inserted by ARN on confluence page should get rendered as expected.
• All other functions of ARN should work as it is.

Same error appears in rule action preview

• • Expected: template preview should work and reproduce the data as expected

• Few months back similar issue was fixed : https://amoeboids.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1088
• Check the linked confluence page for above issue (this might help) : https://amoeboids.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UR/pages/3178135663/Timeout+error+for+templates+having+many+stats+and+JQL+sections+added

Release page contains multiple html, body & head tags 🐞

1. View source on a release page, e.g. view-source: https://teamten7.release.page/ten7-com
2. Check contents of any `card-body` div
3. See multiple html, head, body tags that are present – there should only be one html, head, body per document, see screenshot.

Showing rule execution entry in logs immediately 🐞

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to ARN and run any rule
2. Go to logs screen immediately after the rule is run

Expected: Entry for the rule just executed should show in logs screen

Actual : It takes around 1 minute (sometimes more than that) to show the entry. User needs to click on refresh repeatedly. Sometimes, some users assume rule is not triggered, and they go back to rules and trigger rule again. This leads to multiple executions of same rule.

Corrective Action : Logs section should show the entry immediately after the rule is run. If rule execution is not completed, it will show the status 'in progress' in logs. The status shall get updated as and when the rule execution is completed by the system.
