Symptoms

Upon configuring the Application link and the Project link from JIRA to Stash (or Vice Versa), the commits are not linking to JIRA Tickets.   

The following appears in the atlassian-stash.log:

Cause

It is possible that some of the files from the STASH_HOME/caches/ directory were deleted/removed.  

Workaround

Since Stash does not have a reindex function at the moment, it is not possible to re-create the indexes (caches).  Therefore, we recommend to remove the repository from the Stash Project and create it again. To do this:

  1. Clone the repository (the repository that is affected by the problem) to a location on your local disk (by executing git clone <repository_url> <location_on_disk>)
  2. Delete the repository at Repositories >> <name_of_repo> >> Settings >> Delete Repository
  3. Recreate the repository (using the same name) at Projects >> <name_of_project> >> Create Repository
  4. Push your local clone to the newly created repository (executing git push --all from within your clone directory should work provided you've used the same repository name for the newly created repository)
  5. The repository should re-index automatically at this point, check to see whether the Issues column is populated in the UI

Limitation

Do note that performing the above workaround will delete the pull request history.
