Summary

After a system restore through XML or an upgrade of Jira the top of the screen can be filled with multiple Error rendering WebPanel messages.

Diagnosis

Upon startup or when browsing Jira pages, the following messages can be observed on the screen:

1 2 Error rendering WebPanel (:page-load-resource/GH.tpl.board.pageload.renderPageLoadScript): No renderer found for resource type: soy com.atlassian.plugin.web.renderer.RendererException: No renderer found for resource type: soy

Cause

Upon startup all plugins report as started however some of the modules under the plugins are disabled.

In this example under the  AtlassianTemplate Renderer Velocity 1.6 Plugin, the blue text: “7 of 8 modules enabled” is shown. The module velocity-1.6-web-panel-renderer was Disabled

In the Atlassian Soy - Plugin, the blue text: “6 of 7 modules enabled” is shown. ThesoyWebPanelRenderermodule was Disabled.

Solution

  1. Go to system > Manage apps >Manage apps

  2. Set the filter in the dropdown to System

  3. Search for soy and inspect the modules under the Atlassian Soy - Plugin and enable the disabled module

  4. Next search for velocity and inspect the modules under AtlassianTemplate Renderer Velocity 1.6 Plugin and enable the disabled module

  5. Exit Jira

  6. Restart Jira
