After upgrading to 5.9.x, custom language pack used for Code Block Macro has stopped working
Steps to Reproduce
1. Upload custom language pack: abaphighlighter into your Confluence Admin > Configure Code Macro: Add a new language.
2. Optional: Set your Confluence Default Language to the custom language pack.
3. On a Page, insert Code Block Macro with the following parameters:
- Syntax Highlighting: abaphighlighter
- Theme: FadeToGrey
4. Click on Save to insert the Code Block Macro into the Page.
5. Put in a Sample Code (refer to Testing Notes)
Expected Result:
- Code Block Macro should show the correct Theme and Syntax Highlighting as per the custom language pack
Actual Result:
- Code Block Macro showing no Theme and no custom Syntax Highlighting as per the custom language pack
Additional Notes:
- Screenshots attached for Testing Results
- Custom Language pack attached
WorkAround
Manually downgrade the Code Block Macro plugin to version 2.1.7.
To downgrade the add-on, do the following:
- Stop Confluence.
- Locate the existing .jar files (newcode-macro-plugin-XXX.jar) in <confluence-install>/confluence/WEB-INF/atlassian-bundled-plugins/. Move the file to a different location to create a backup copy.
- Place the attached, newcode-macro-plugin-2.1.7.jar
, into the atlassian-bundled-plugins directory.
- Locate the existing transformed .jar (newcode-macro-plugin-XXX_XXX) in <confluence-install>/plugins-osgi-cache/transformed-plugins/.Delete the file.
- Start Confluence.
As with all recommendations, we strongly suggest testing this in a test environment prior to implementing in Production. If this causes other issues in your instance, you will be asked to switch back to the original version of the .jar.

[ Hello,
I am also experiencing this issue in 6.0.7. We migrated data from a 5.8.5 instance and in the new instance, some of the code boxes took on a black background with different colored text. Additionally, semicolons were added to some of the code. If you change from the default syntax highlighting, it will remove the semicolons and change the strange color scheme. In the workaround listed here, the plugin-osgi folder is under Confluence home, not Confluence install. Here are some simplified instructions for the workaround listed. Obviously your path will need to be updated for wherever Confluence home is. However, I could not get this to resolve the issue. {code:java} cd atlassian/confluence/confluence/WEB-INF/atlassian-bundled-plugins wget https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/attachment/189012/189012_newcode-macro-plugin-2.1.7.jar . rm -rf newcode-macro-plugin-2.2.7.jar cp 189012_newcode-macro-plugin-2.1.7.jar newcode-macro-plugin-2.1.7.jar chown confluence:confluence newcode-macro-plugin-2.1.7.jar rm -rf 189012_newcode-macro-plugin-2.1.7.jar <Confluence_HOME>/plugins-osgi-cache/transformed-plugins rm -rf newcode-macro-plugin-2.2.7_1489728436000.jar {code} ] |
Similar issues happening with Version 7.4.3 and Verilog brush, however, it is intermittent. End user showed me how it will take time for highlighting to appear and sometimes will display the error dialog.
