Hi devs,
Wondering if you could try explain the phenomenon we’re seeing. We first noticed this issue in failing(very rare) E2E test and recently in our customer interview calls.
Our macro has a custom editor configured with its editor.url specified correctly in the descriptor.
Most of the time, when our macro is inserted or edited on a Confluence page, the custom macro editor will render as expected.
However, once in a blue moon (caught by E2E tests and recently customer demo sessions), the default macro editor (with large bezel & preview section) is rendered.
As developers of the app and product folks who are aware that that’s not what it should be, would close the editor before opening it again. And this time, the custom macro editor (correct editor) would render as intended.
The expected editor would render correctly on subsequent calls after that. We’re not sure how to reproduce this and trying to understand why this happened.
You can see how this rare scenario might impact new customers (lucky few) when trying out our app the first time. So far, there’s been only 2 incidents with customers where we saw this happened.
Here’s the custom macro editor configuration in our descriptor
editor: {
url: '/editor/live-template',
editTitle: {
value: 'Edit Live Template Macro',
},
insertTitle: {
value: 'Insert Live Template Macro',
},
width: '865px',
height: '450px',
},
parameters: [
{
identifier: 'templateType',
name: {
value: 'Type',
},
description: {
value: 'The type of page template to import and render.',
},
type: 'string',
required: true,
},
{
identifier: 'templateId',
name: {
value: 'Template',
},
description: {
value:
'The name of the page template to import and render. e.g. SPACE:TITLE',
},
type: 'string',
required: true,
},

{

},
description: {

},
type: 'string',
required: false,
hidden: true,
},
{

},

]
Appreciate if some of you’ve experienced this to share some insights and if there anything we can do on our end to prevent this from happening.
