Component/s: Core - Macros Platform
Current Situation
Up to Confluence 10.x, Marketplace apps can read user macros from Bandana using the key atlassian.confluence.user.macros.
Since Confluence 10.2.13, user macros are stored in the USER_MACRO table, and Bandana was removed in 11.0. There's now no supported way for an app to read all user macros:
UserMacroLibrary isn't exported to apps, so @ComponentImport fails.
The workarounds are ContainerManager.getComponent("userMacroLibrary", UserMacroLibrary.class) or a custom Hibernate query on USER_MACRO. Both depend on internal parts of Confluence that could change.
Use case
This restricts Marketplace partner apps from becoming compatible with Confluence 10.2.13+ and 11.x.
Suggestion
- Export UserMacroLibrary to apps so @ComponentImport works.
- Add a way to list all user macros, including hidden ones, adding new macros, removing macros
- Add any other read operations apps need .
