[Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD import problem id_0 already in use

[Kottman, Miloche]

How fortuitous!  I was just going to test to see if this was still an issue in version 1.0.9.

In version 1.0.7, that message showed up when the EAD had a related or separated materials section AND you'd already loaded the EAD for the related or separated material.

This happens because instead of using the <unittitle> and <unitid> for the described materials, the importer is using the last <unittitle> <unitid> combination it finds in either the related or separated material section (we have EADs listing multiple related materials and I've noticed it selects the last title).  This title and id is, of course, going to match the title and id in the related or separated EAD.

Even if you don't get this message when loading an EAD, if it has a related or separated materials section, you should check the EAD in ArchivesSpace to ensure the correct title and id are in the record (it's likely to be one of the titles in the related/separated section)

And FYI...  just tested in version 1.0.9 and it still errors out, but I get a different error message:  Error: #<:ValidationException: {:errors=>{"extents"=>["At least 1 item(s) is required"]}}>

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD import problem id_0 already in use

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error from a test import of ~100 EADs:
"Error: Problem creating 'University of Tennessee President's Papers': 
id_0 That ID is already in use, ead_id Must be unique"

My <eadid> values are unique across our collections, so I'm not sure how/why this is happening. Could someone shed some light on this?


Thanks,
Bridger
