Issue Summary

When space is created via REST API, that space sometimes doesn't get a homepage created.

Steps to Reproduce

Keep creating spaces using /wiki/rest/api/space?expand=space.homepage API endpoint.

Expected Results

Every space has a homepage.

Actual Results

Eventually returned space object won't have homepage property. Check out that space in UI – there will be no homepage either. It will never be created, i.e. this is not a side effect of asynchrony of some actions but rather a bug.

I was able to reproduce this issue twice in ~3000 requests with a simple sequential script.

Workaround

• Fetch the homepage template using GET /wiki/rest/api/template/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-default-space-content-plugin:spacecontent-global
• Create a page using that template using POST /wiki/rest/api/content
• Set that page as space homepage using PUT /wiki/rest/api/space/<key>

Given the workaround requires three extra steps, I've set severity to major.
