Failed to fetch ${url} from Confluence: ${response.status}

Error message

Failed to fetch ${url} from Confluence: ${response.status}

What it means

ConfluencePagesLoader.fetchConfluenceData throws when the Confluence REST response is not ok. The surrounding catch re-throws error.message. This surfaces during fetchAllPagesInSpace pagination.

Solutions

1. Verify baseUrl + spaceKey + credentials (username/accessToken or personalAccessToken).
2. For Confluence Cloud ensure baseUrl is the cloud host and cloud=true (so /wiki is prepended).
3. Set bypassSSL=true only for trusted self-hosted instances with SSL issues.
4. Check the HTTP status embedded in the message to narrow the cause.

Example fix

// before
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Failed to fetch ${url} from Confluence: ${response.status}`);

// after — include status text + a body excerpt for diagnostics
if (!response.ok) {
  const body = await response.text();
  throw new Error(`Confluence ${response.status} ${response.statusText} for ${url}: ${body.slice(0, 200)}`);
}

async function confluenceReachable(baseUrl, headers) {
  const r = await fetch(`${baseUrl}/rest/api/space`, { headers });
  return r.ok;
}

try { await loader.fetchAllPagesInSpace(); }
catch (e) {
  if (/Failed to fetch .* from Confluence: 401/.test(e.message)) { /* refresh token */ }
  if (/Failed to fetch .* from Confluence: 404/.test(e.message)) { /* check baseUrl/spaceKey */ }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Confluence API returns non-2xx: 401 (bad token/credentials), 403 (no space access), 404 (wrong baseUrl/spaceKey), 429 (rate limit), 5xx. SSL handshake failures when bypassSSL is off.

Common situations: Expired personal access token; wrong spaceKey; on-prem baseUrl missing the cloud /wiki prefix; SSL issues on self-hosted; network blocking the Confluence host.
