XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      Popular Labels macro with non-existing space parameter can cause 500 Internal Server Error on REST API request for Page Body.

      Version info

      Replicable in:

      • Confluence 7.8.0
      • Confluence 9.2.5
      • Confluence 9.5.2

      Not Replicable in:

      • Confluence 7.7.4 and earlier

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Install Confluence 7.8.0 or above
        This issue has been tested and confirmed still impacting Confluence 9.2.5
      2. Create a Page, and insert a Popular Labels macro
      3. Edit the Popular Labels macro
        • In "Restrict Labels to this Space Key" column, enter a Space that does not exist
          Despite the search field return "Not found", the macro can still be saved with a non-existing Space name
      4. At this point, you'd have a Storage Format that looks like this: 
        <ac:structured-macro ac:name="popular-labels" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="2af6be0c-b801-427f-8d39-949cdc390aba">
<ac:parameter ac:name="spaceKey">
<ri:space ri:space-key="abc" />
</ac:parameter>
</ac:structured-macro>

        "abc" space key does not exist in the Confluence

      5. Save the macro, and publish the page.
        • A meaningful error message will be displayed on the page's View Mode:

          Error rendering macro 'popular-labels'. A space with 'abc' key does not exist

      6. Use REST API to retrieve the Page Body with either of the expand below that would render the page into HTML format:
        • body.view
        • body.export_view
        • body.styled_view
        • body.anonymous_export_view
          Example
          curl -u username:password "<Confluence_Base_URL>/rest/api/content/<Page_ID>?expand=body.view"

      Expected Results

      REST API request respond with the rendered page content.

      Actual Results

      The REST API request responded with 500 Internal Server Error.

      curl -u admin:admin "http://localhost:6952/c952/rest/api/content/163926?expand=body.view"

{"statusCode":500,"message":"","reason":"Internal Server Error"}

      The below exception is thrown in the atlassian-confluence.log file:

      The same error will also be thrown when the page is loaded in a Browser, but the UI provides a meaningful error and load the rest of the page correctly.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior for the impacted expand. A workaround will be added here when available
      expand=body.storage on the other hand, is not impacted. Because the Popular Labels macro is not rendered, but shown as Storage Format instead.
