Using CQLSearchService in PreMigrationChecks

Hello

I’m looking into searching for content using CQL within PreMigrationChecks but have trouble getting it to work. My use case is that I want to find if there are any pages using a certain macro, something like this:

this.cqlSearchService.searchContent(cql, new SimplePageRequest(0, 100)).getResults();

I’ve implemented PreMigrationCheckRepository from the examples provided in the docs, but trying to use the CQLSearchService within my checks gives me this error:

PermissionException: Not permitted to use confluence : null

I guess there is no authenticated user context when this is executed. Is there anyway around this? Or are there any other approaches I can take if I want to execute a CQL search within these checks?

Hi @Ande,

Thanks for your question. Here’s a similar post but for Jira

and another for Confluence

But the issue is the same, when running the pre-migration check there’s no logged in user running in the thread. To run the CQL you need an admin user so they can access all the pages, including restricted ones.

James.
