Symptoms

Without configuring HipChat with JIRA, Hipchat errors fill atlassian-jira.log files, and along with that other sporadic behaviour is seen when using the JIRA instance eg: when mousing over users errors are thrown instead. 

The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:

Cause

This is caused by a bug in the HipChat plugin, as tracked in  JRA-29891 - Getting issue details... STATUS  - please watch that issue for future updates from our developers.

Resolution

  • Log into JIRA go to Admin > Plugins
  • Look for the HipChat plugin under "User Installed Add-ons" section and disable it.
