Troubleshooting

Browser log

The console log tells us whether there are any errors when the page is being rendered. The network log shows us the requests that are sent between the server and the browser.

1. Go the page where the issue occurs.

2. Right-click the page > choose Inspect element. The inspect area may open in different positions or in a separate window, based on your browser and settings.

3. Go to the Console tab and the Network tab to look for errors, which are usually marked in red or purple. If available, click the triangle icon (console) or log (network) for more information about the error.

Browser cache

If you can’t see the recent edit you’ve made in Refined, it might be because the browser has cached the content. Force the browser to clear the cache and to download the most recent version of the page and its styles:

Service Entitlement Number (SEN)

All customers who have installed an app from Refined have a Service Entitlement Number (SEN).

If you are a Confluence admin, you can find each app’s SEN number under Manage apps > Refined. If you are the billing contact of the license, you can locate the SEN number on my.atlassian.com.

Safe mode

To enter safe-mode in Confluence:

1. Go to General Configuration > Manage apps.

2. Click Enter safe mode, located below the list of installed apps.

   

3. When Safe Mode is on, enable only the Refined app.

   

4. Recreate the issue you were having, and report your findings back to Refined Support. If the issue still occurs, we’ll know it has to do with the Refined app. If it doesn’t occur, it’s likely caused within another app or by a conflict between Refined and another app.

5. Go to Manage apps > Exit safe mode and restore previous configuration.

   

Confluence support file

To generate a support file with information about the Confluence instance setup and application logs:

1. In Confluence version 7.11 and up, you can prepare for easier troubleshooting by going to General Configuration > Logging and Profiling in the left-hand menu > adding a message to mark the logs.

2. Go to Confluence and perform the action that is causing the issue. This will populate the logs with information.

3. Follow these steps to create a Support zip. Click Customise zip and remove all logging except Confluence application logs.

4. Download the zip file and send it to Refined support.

Refined support file

To generate a Refined support file:

1. Go to Refined Administration > Configuration tab.

2. In the right-hand list of HELP/TIPS, click Generate support file. This file contains your Refined configuration settings, site home information, and category home information.

Refined Layout Space (rwlayoutkey)

To store attachments and permissions, Refined uses a special space called Refined Layout Space. Do not remove or edit this space: it is essential for the functioning of Space Layouts and User Dashboards. Under normal circumstances, you don’t need to interact with this space. That’s why it is archived and hidden from the regular places where you’d list spaces.

In most cases, you can reach it via http://yourdomain.com /display/rwlayoutkey

If for whatever reason that key was taken when the space was created, it might live under a different key. In that case, you can find it by:

1. Navigate to Refined Administration > Layouts.

2. Under Space Layout, scroll down to Global Space Layout and click the Edit button.

3. You’re now presented with an information box. Click the link to go to the Refined Layout Space.

Generate a .HAR file

1. Right-click anywhere on your browser page, and click Inspect. A panel will appear.

2. Go to the Network tab, and don’t close the panel.

   

3. With the panel open, recreate the issue you're experiencing. The Network panel will record all the communication between your browser and our app.

4. Once everything is loaded, click the Export button

   

5. Share the downloaded file with us in your ticket.
