[TIME-248] Group Timesheet with CAS Authentication

[Andriy Zhdanov]

I am experiencing similar problems like https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/TIME-212 or https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/TIME-239.
Our Jira server is configured with a CAS Authentication.

The Group Timesheet doesn't work. (peer not authenticated ...)

Tested on Jira 4.4.5 and JIRA Timesheet Plugin 2.2.8

I suggest the following fix in the group-timesheet-gadget.xml file ( and probably on the other gadgets xml files ):
<Optional feature="atlassian.util" />

Hi Oliver,

Thank you so much, I think this is greatest help I ever got for timesheet plugin since I've got Atlassian's help when plugin appeared! You might guess how many people suffer from it. And I think it really helps. I'm going to include this fix asap. But I'd like to understand better something more. May be you can help again.

First, I've found the following usage of it in Atlassian's jquery.js:
if (typeof atlassian.util === "undefined" || atlassian.util.getRendererBaseUrl() !== options.baseUrl) { options.unauthorized(options, xhr); } else { options.send(); $ajax(params); }

I think it may explain the need to include atlassian.util in gadget.xml, however I don't understand it completely. Do you?

And I also wonder if I should use atlassian.util.getRendererBaseUrl() in my gadgets instead of _ATLASSIAN_BASE_URL_, do you have any idea?

Thank you.

First, I am not a gadget developper, but I made some investigation

I found that atlassian.util was used in some gadgets and not present in Group Time Sheet.
https://developer.atlassian.com/display/GADGETS/Including+Features+into+your+Gadget

The _ATLASSIAN_BASE_URL_ format is replaced by the publisher :
https://developer.atlassian.com/display/GADGETS/Using+Substitution+Variables+and+Directives+in+your+Gadget

This expression is supported by Atlassian, and used in some examples :

Thank you, Oliver, you're better than Gadget developer

Marking issue as fixed, as it's checked in for 2.3.4 too, and some happy users already confirmed this helped in 2.2.9.
