Jira Activity Stream gadget does not show all information in some cases, and the return is “user has had no activity”.

Issue Summary

Jira Activity Stream gadget does not show all information in some cases, and the return is “user has had no activity”.
Instead of trying to get activities for chosen filters, it gets the by max results, then apply the filters later. So the entries will be missed if they are out of the limitation.

Steps to Reproduce

These steps are reproduced by the team's Jira dashboards in a test environment.

• If we configure the activity stream gadget limit to 4 items without any filters, then the request is like this: https://endeavour-demo.jira-dev.com/plugins/servlet/streams?maxResults=4&relativeLinks=true  (I call this as request 1)
• If we add a filter for Account ID to a user, then the request gonna be like this: https://endeavour-demo.jira-dev.com/plugins/servlet/streams?maxResults=4&relativeLinks=true&streams=account-id+IS+655363%3A110b9b2e-4adb-41f7-9b2c-1dcca936ae1e  (I call this as request 2)
• So you can see the difference in the request url, it has the account id in the request 2.
• So as the normal logic, we would expect the request 2 will return a list with 10 activities from the selected user, right?
• But this is not how the current way it's working.
• For example, if the request 1 returns something like this:
  • Activity 1 from someone else
  • Activity 2 from someone else
  • Activity 3 from selected user  in request 2
  • Activity 4 from selected user in request 2
• Then the request 2 only return 2 activities, which is Activity 3 and Activity 4.
• Let's give another example for request 2 but limit to 2 items: So we would expect request 2 is not still return Activity 3 and Activity 4.
• But the bug is request 2 is now return empty result, this is because activities from selected user (which is Activity 3 and Activity 4) is the third and forth entries, but we only limit to 2 items.

Expected Results

When adding a user, all the activities of that user appear, but in some cases appear “user has had no activity”

Actual Results

Mentioned above.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
