Jira new sidebar / Forge app problem

Hi all,

I noticed a problem while displaying a Forge app in development within Jira with new nav:

  • On Chrome, everything is fine, Jira sidepane can be resized,
  • On Safari, Jira left sidepane right border is highlighted when hovered, and the cursor switches to resize cursor, but the Jira left sidepane won’t resize.

Forge app uses this manifest:

modules:
  jira:globalPage:
    - key: xxx-xxx-main-page
      resource: main
      resolver:
        function: resolver
      title: Xxxxx Xxxx
      icon: resource:static-images;app-icon.png
      layout: basic
      width: full
  function:
    - key: resolver
      handler: index.handler
permissions:
  content:
    styles:
      - unsafe-inline
  scopes:
    - storage:app
    - read:jira-work
    - read:jira-user
resources:
  - key: main
    path: src/frontend/build
  - key: static-images
    path: static/images
app:
  runtime:
    name: nodejs22.x
  id: ari:cloud:ecosystem::app/xxxx

As there’s no DOM manipulation from within the app, no event catching or whatever, I’m wondering if this may come from the new Jira sidebar.

Anyone experienced this too?

Thanks,

F.

Hi,

The Jira left navigation resize feature is functioning as expected in Safari for my instance.

If the resize feature is still not working for your instance on Safari, could you please provide me with the instance ID details in the format “[name].atlassian.net” along with a short video?

Hi @ChandanaMeka ,

I confirm persisting resize feature problem on Safari when identical test scenario is OK on Chrome & Safari.

Instance ID details: huminder-dev.atlassian.net

Test scenario:

  • in Jira, select a Jira section → Jira sidebar resizing OK,
  • then expand the App section,
  • select an App implementing module:globalPage → Jira sidebar resizing KO

Hi @frederictardieu

Just curious if you figured it out? I’m having the same problem

Thanks,

Hi @JacksonDunn ,

Nope, and the problem persists. As Jira sidebar is working fine on any other browser, I believe it’s related on how globalPage module is implemented in Forge context.

Cheers,

Fred

Hi @ChandanaMeka ,

Would you have an update on this issue?

From your video recorded scenario, you have to select an app implementing globalPage and try to resize Jira’ sidebar (not only expand app section).

Thanks & BR,

Fred
