1 Could not load class 'com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin.domain.workflow.condition.ReviewsCompleteCondition': java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin.domain.workflow.condition.ReviewsCompleteCondition

Cause

A workflow condition related to Fisheye was added accidentally but Fisheye is not configured yet in JIRA.

Resolution

  1. Remove the Code Committed condition from the workflow

  2. Disable the Fisheye plugin under Administration >> Plugins so that you don't accidentally add it again.
