Diagnosis

Environment

  • Confluence using Archiving plugin from Midori

Diagnostic Steps

  • Recently used the Archiving plugin and attempted to edit the page

  • The table "AO_1991C6_PAGE_VIEW_pkey" from the error is from the Archiving plugin

  • Searching for the editpage.action you might find the following stack traces:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 2018-02-19 09:26:08,873 ERROR [http-nio-8090-exec-62] [atlassian.confluence.event.ConfluenceEventDispatcher] lambda$getRunnable$1 There was an exception thrown trying to dispatch event [ConfluenceTaskV2CreateEvent{user=ConfluenceUserImpl{name='testuser', key=8a8798ad5e1589c0015f27605fa33333}, task=Task [globalId=0, id=16, contentId=123456789, taskStatus=UNCHECKED, title=Add most searched terms, description=, body=Add most searched terms, creator=testuser, assignee=null, createDate=Mon Feb 19 09:26:08 PST 2018, dueDate=null, updateDate=null, completeUser=null, completeDate=null]}] from the invoker [com.atlassian.confluence.event.ConfluenceListenerHandlersConfiguration$TimingListenerHandler$1$1@13e46979] -- referer: https://my.confluence.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId=123456789 | url: /rest/api/content/123456789 | traceId: 49a6091ab32ec344 | userName: testuser java.lang.RuntimeException: There was a SQL exception thrown by the Active Objects library: Database: - name:PostgreSQL - version:9.3.17 - minor version:3 - major version:9 Driver: - name:PostgreSQL Native Driver - version:PostgreSQL 9.2 JDBC4 (build 1002) Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block
  • From the caused by: Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block

  • Look for the first transaction that failed and you should be able to identify the problem. In this case, the comment failed due to:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 -- referer: https://my.confluence.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId=123456789 | url: /rest/api/content/123456789 | traceId: 49a6091ab32ec344 | userName: testuser java.lang.RuntimeException: There was a SQL exception thrown by the Active Objects library: Database: - name:PostgreSQL - version:9.3.17 - minor version:3 - major version:9 Driver: - name:PostgreSQL Native Driver - version:PostgreSQL 9.2 JDBC4 (build 1002) org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "AO_BAF3AA_AOINLINE_TASK_pkey" Detail: Key ("GLOBAL_ID")=(66379) already exists.
  • And it failed because the page was moved with the archiving plugin. This is a specific case with the Midori plugin and might not apply to all cases.

Cause

  • Using old versions of this plugin.
