[Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD Import - cryptic error messages

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hey Noah,


Yes, the EAD import errors are rather uninformative. A big problem is that schema valid EAD is sometimes not compliant to the AS model. There's a big range of variance that is allowed in the EAD schema, so we're still working on getting all the import mappings right.


Would it be possible for you to email me your EAD file zipped up? I can take a look and see what's going on. ?


b,chris.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD Import - cryptic error messages

Hello,

As others have mentioned, some of the EAD import error log messages are rather cryptic.  Could anyone help decipher the two messages below?  After running a few test imports, I'm getting the first "wrong number of arguments" error quite a bit on schema valid EAD files.


Error: wrong number of arguments (6 for 4)

Error: Unexpected Object Type in Queue: Expected archival_object got file_version

Also, is there any method for batch importing EAD that will allow the entire batch to process even if one particular file fails?

Thanks,
-Noah
