New features

New archiveSpace and restoreSpace actions for Confluence Server 8.8+

The new archiveSpace and restoreSpace actions are now available for Confluence Server installations running version 8.8 or later. These actions use the API endpoints introduced in Confluence 8.8. Note that these actions are only supported on Confluence Server 8.8 or newer, as Confluence Cloud does not currently offer a public API for this functionality.

Enhancement

Enhanced updateSpace action for archiving spaces in Confluence 8.8+

The updateSpace action now uses the updated API endpoint when you include the --options "status = archived" parameter to archive spaces on Confluence Data Center installations running version 8.8 or later. This update aligns with the new archiveSpace and restoreSpace actions introduced in this ACLI release, which also use the same API endpoint.

OAuth removed from shell site configuration for http://monday.com

The shell site configuration workflow for http://monday.com sites no longer supports OAuth as an authentication option.

Enhanced interactive support for run actions and a new script suspension feature

All run* actions now support the --options value interactive parameter, enabling an interactive mode. In this mode, the action automatically pauses after each action or iteration and presents a simple prompt. The prompt allows users to enter specific commands to control how ACLI proceeds.

Additionally, ACLI scripts now support a new suspend keyword. When encountered (on its own line), the script pauses execution at that point. This feature is especially useful for debugging or performing manual operations before resuming the script.

Example usage:

./aclidev cg -a run -i "-a getClientInfo" -i "-a getServerInfo" --options interactive

Example output:

Run: -a getClientInfo  
Client name: jiracloud, Client version: 12.0.0-SNAPSHOT, Build date: 2024-11-20T16:04:35, Java: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 21.0.3, OS: Mac OS X 14.4.1  

Suspended. Enter [i] for info, [n] to run next, [a] to run all, [q] to quit.  
command> i  
Action  . . . . . . . . . . . : -a getClientInfo  
Exit Code   . . . . . . . . . : SUCCESS  
Replacement Variables . . . . :  
  @exitCode@  . . . . . . . . : 0  
command> n  

Run: -a getServerInfo  
Jira version: 1001.0.0-SNAPSHOT, build: 100277, time: 11/21/24, 8:42 AM, description: Jira, url: https://cannibal-gods.atlassian.net  

Suspended. Enter [i] for info, [n] to run next, [a] to run all, [q] to quit.  
command> a  

Run completed successfully. 2 actions were successful from input parameters.  

Available Commands:

• i: Displays basic information about the current runtime state, including replacement variables and their values.

• n: Runs the next action.

• a: Runs all remaining actions until the next interactive option or suspend keyword is encountered.

• q: Exits ACLI immediately without running any further actions.

These enhancements make it easier to debug scripts, pause for manual interventions, and control execution flow interactively.

Bug fixes

The following bugs are fixed in this release:

• Previously, due to an issue with the --copysubtask parameter when cloning issues, subtasks were copied in the order of their creation timestamps (DTS) by default, ignoring any user-defined order. The --copysubtask parameter now correctly copies subtasks to the cloned issue while preserving their original ranking from the source issue.

• An issue that caused a NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/jce/provider/BouncyCastleProvider error to occur when running actions. The issue was resolved by adding the missing class configuration for BouncyCastleProvider in reflect-config.json.

• A change in the Jira API requiring products to be specified for user access caused the addUser action to fail with the error message: "Remote error: You must specify the products that user can access." We updated the addUser action to support this API requirement, ensuring it functions correctly.

• An issue that caused the error Can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key error_misc_fileNotFile. This issue occurred because a required resource key was missing in the PropertyResourceBundle.

• An issue where using RequestContentType.URL_ENCODED caused an invalid Content-Type header value. The URL_ENCODED (application/url_encoded) value has been removed as a valid option for the contentType parameter. While this value can still be used, it no longer appears as a valid choice in shell prompts and should be avoided to prevent issues.
