This app has no modules

Hey folks, I’m struggling with getting a Forge app properly installed and working on a test Jira instance. Ideally, I want to work on a jql function - but my app says it has no modules.

In order to test if this is something I am doing wrong, I decided to follow the Getting Started/Forge/Jira tutorial:

  1. forge create → jira-issue-panel-ui-kit → pp-jira-test
  2. cd pp-jira-test and forge deploy
  3. forge install → mysite.atlassian.net

I get the same thing - “This app has no modules”.

Of course, this means that the Hello World fragment is not showing on the issue screen (can’t attach a second screenshot).

My manifest.yml is:

modules:
  jira:issuePanel:
    - key: pp-jira-test-hello-world-panel
      function: main
      title: pp-jira-test
      icon: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/images/icons/issue-panel-icon.svg
  function:
    - key: main
      handler: index.run
app:
  runtime:
    name: nodejs18.x
  id: ari:cloud:ecosystem::app/159ac603-b46e-4912-a886-9ef671fb47bb

What am I missing?

Hi @vsaran,

The modules that appear on your Manage Apps view in Jira don’t correspond to Forge App modules, so this is what you would expect to see for a forge app created using the Jira Issue Panel template.

Are you not seeing the Issue Panel in Jira?

Cheers,
Melissa

Interesting!

Yes, I am also not seeing the Issue Panel:

I’m attempting to make a jql function, it’s also not showing up, so I went back to basics with the hello world example to see if I could figure it out and… also nothing.

Hey @vsaran, it looks like “Forge app for Vikram” is appearing in the icons below the heading! if you click on it your issue panel should be displayed.

Right! I was only looking at the issue panel itself. Either I skimmed the hello world example or it’s not in there :sweat_smile:

Looking back at the hello world example - perhaps it’s out of date?

Right, the hello world example only works in particular from the short view of an issue. In the full view, the UI is rather different.

It may be worth updating the tutorial to cover that! :slight_smile:

You need to click on Forge app for Vikram to make your app appear in the Issue panel
