I'm testing adaptavist-plugin-themeBuilder-3.3.5-M3-conf210.jar on Confluence 3.0, and I'm running into an issue where the "Theme Administration" Panel shows only the tab bar.

Investigating with Firebug, I find that lines 3-4 of /s/1627/10/1.0/_/download/resources/confluence.web.resources:master-scripts/PageNotification.js assign dwr.engine to {} before /plugins/servlet/builder/dwr/engine.js runs. Line 21 of that file observes that dwr.engine is non-null and does not fill it in. Naturally, nothing after that works. If I set a breakpoint before that line and re-assign dwr.engine to null before the check, the page loads fine. (the URL's are relative to the internal Confluence instance I'm testing with; I hope that's enough information.)

Is this a known issue? Is there a proper fix available?

    I am running into the very same problem: Builder Administrator shows only the tabs, and looks like it's loading, but nothing really happens. Is there any workaround for that?

    Unfortunatley the admin screens are themed using the default confluence theme, so builder has no input on what resources are loaded and when.

    It's odd that the page notification JS is being loaded on an admin screen though ... it's also odd that I've never seen this problem happen on any of our installs.

    What application container are you both using?

      Thanks for your quick reply. The answer for your question is - Tomcat.
      Anyway, since my last post, I reinstalled the plugin, this time manually - using 3.3.5-conf210.jar, and Builder Administrator works just fine.

      Thanks again,

      We're running JBoss here, and deploying the plugin by adding it to the bundled plugins archive in a Confluence WAR file.

      However, similarly to Monika, updating to 3.3.5-conf210 from the M3 build seems to have fixed the issue for me.

      Thanks for getting back to me on this in any case.

        Can you explain what you did? What's the difference between

        installing adaptavist-plugin-themeBuilder-3.3.5-M3-conf210.jar

        and

        "updating to 3.3.5-conf210 from the M3 build" ?

        1. Unknown User (waltermundt)

          The difference is the "-M3". When I first posted about this, version 3.3.5 had yet to be released, and I was running a development build labeled 3.3.5-M3. (FWIW I also experienced the issue with earlier released versions.) Something Adaptavist did between -M3 and the final release seems to have taken care of it for me, because all I did was upgrade the plugin jar.

            Ok I see what you mean, thanks for responding.

            We just updated to that a minute ago..but no luck. I wonder if there's a conflict with Confluence 3.0.0_01 ?

            aw well back to the drawing board.

              Try uninstalling then reinstalling manually, we have been getting a number of reports that the plugin repository is somehow altering the jar file causing this kind of error ... I suspect it's related to the way that the repository downloads from a central server, which in turn downloads from ours (rather than it downloading from our server directly)

              NB: if you are using IE, it may rename the file to .zip, rename it back to .jar before uploading.

              PS: it may be worth restarting confluence after you have uninstalled builder using plugins.action, just to be sure that everything has been cleared down.
