search-request-view plugins (implements com.atlassian.jira.plugin.searchrequestview.SearchRequestView) are not executed when search query contains some unicode characters.

Issue Summary

search-request-view plugins (implements com.atlassian.jira.plugin.searchrequestview.SearchRequestView) are not executed when search query contains some unicode characters.

Environment

Issue appeared after Jira update to 8.5.0 -> 8.8.0, and reproducible with new 8.9.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. create plugin with search-request-view module using SDK:
   atlas-create-jira-plugin-module > .. > "17. Search Request View"
2. package and install on Jira
3. in Jira, perform search for issue, where query contains some non-ascii character. For example: summary ~ "Über"
4. Execute plugin by calling option Export -> MyPlugin

Expected Results

plugin writeSearchResults() method to be executed

Actual Results

• error page with text: "HTTP Status 400 – Bad Request. Error in the JQL Query: The character 'U+009C' on line 1 at position 13 must be escaped. Use the escape '\u009c' instead. (line 1, character 13)".

• None of plugin class methods is invoked, as error page seems to be rendered earlier.

Note

native export functions work without issues, but they seems don't implement com.atlassian.jira.plugin.searchrequestview.SearchRequestView and called differently than user-plugins.

Workaround

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