Context:
Any P2 plugin development using modern versions of Atlaskit will end up compiled-css.css files inside target/classes. We’ve been upgrading React & Atlaskit in the DC products and so many of the P2 plugins that make up our products now have a compiled-css.css file.
This made a long-standing bug with local development more obvious. The first compiled-css.css file found by the plugin system was used for all P2 plugins (instead of using the specific file from the respective plugin). https://compiledcssinjs.com/ compiles equivalent styles to the same CSS classname and there is decent, but not perfect overlap in styles. The result was that often just one Atlaskit component wouldn’t render correctly or any plugin-specific styles would be missing. This can be quite hard to debug because in the browser development tools it looks like the compiled-css.css file doesn’t change no matter what you do, this is of course because it’s using another plugins'.
Action:
We have fixed this long-standing underlying bug, but remained backwards compatible. To use the new, fixed local development system instead of the existing, buggy implementation you will need to use the upcoming post-2025-LTS product versions for local development (e.g. Confluence 10.3, e.g. Jira 11.4), and also upgrade QuickReload to 6.2.0+ (included in AMPS 9.7.2). If everything goes smoothly we will consider backporting to LTS releases of the products. Note: Crowd doesn’t have LTS releases, but it’s looking to be in Crowd 7.3
