ContentService not finding a page that exists by id

Confluence Development Confluence Server
1

I’m trying to use ConcentService to find a page with ID. I’m 100% sure that the page exists with the given ID-value.

Here is my call (pageId is a long-value that has an existing page numberl:

Optional<Content> page = apiContentService.find()
        .withType(ContentType.PAGE)
        .withId(ContentId.of(pageId))
        .fetch();

The return value is always just empty optional.

And this is how I get the apiContentService reference through a constructor injection:

@Inject
public MyComponent(@ConfluenceImport("apiContentService") ContentService apiContentService) {

I noticed that without specifying the name for the parameter Spring refuses to start as it seems that there are two different ContentService-instances registered, “contentService” and “apiContentService”. I tried the contentService earlier but it didn’t seem to work either.

I’m trying this with Confluence Server 7.7.4 if that matters.

Any ideas how can I get the page by knowing its ID number? As far as I understand from the documentation, the above method should be the currently recommended method of doing it, right?

Hi @PetriJuhaniRiipinen,

assuming the code is correct: Please run a reindex. Most often no/wrong results are returned of the index is not up-to-date.

Hi @dennis.fischer

Just to confirm, you mean the Rebuild-button on the “Content Indexing”-page under Administration?

I did that and retried but it didn’t help, ContentService won’t still find the page.

Hi @PetriJuhaniRiipinen,

yes, I was referring to this button.

The ContentService checks the permissions of the calling user. Is the user (AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.get()) which is executing the code permitted to view the page?

Best,
Dennis

Hi @dennis.fischer

Well, who is the calling user, that’s a good question. This call is actually executed from a callback from the Confluence Server when executing migration. After the migration is finished (as triggered by Admin user), Confluence calls the onStartAppMigration-method on my CloudMigrationListenerV1-interface implementation and in that method I get a list of all pageId-values from server that were migrated to Cloud to some other pageId. At that moment I need to go through all the server pages whose IDs were given to my code and check our macros to see which of them need fixing on the Cloud-side.

I am investigating an alternative strategy for the fixing where I don’t need to do this call at all, but still feels a bit odd that it doesn’t work. But I guess permissions are a probably cause here, just not sure what to do about it, if there is anything to be done.
