Issue management not enabled in this project

Error message

Issue management not enabled in this project

What it means

OneDev throws this when a user navigates to the NewIssuePage of a project that has issue management turned off. The page constructor checks getProject().isIssueManagement() before rendering and rejects access with a NotAcceptableException. It is an access/feature-gating guard, not a bug.

Solutions

1. Enable issue management in the project: Project -> Settings (or project sidebar) -> Issue Management -> turn it on.
2. Navigate to the correct project that actually has issue management enabled.
3. If embedding links programmatically, check project.isIssueManagement() before linking to the NewIssuePage.

Example fix

// before
response.sendRedirect(basePath + "/~issues/new?project=" + projectPath);
// after
if (project.isIssueManagement())
    response.sendRedirect(basePath + "/~issues/new?project=" + projectPath);
else
    throw new IllegalStateException("Project " + projectPath + " has issue management disabled");

if (!project.isIssueManagement()) { throw new IllegalStateException("Issue management is disabled for project " + project.getPath()); }

boolean canCreateIssue(Project p) { return p != null && p.isIssueManagement(); }

When it happens

Trigger: Directly opening the new-issue URL (or following a bookmark/deep link to create an issue) in a project whose Issue Management setting is disabled; rendering an issue-creation link for a project where issues were later turned off.

Common situations: An admin disabled issue tracking for the project after users bookmarked issue URLs; a tool or script auto-generates issue-creation links for all projects regardless of settings; user pasted a link from another project into this one.
