[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchiveSpace Failing to Import Two Legacy EAD Finding Aids

Wed Aug 5 14:29:55 EDT 2015

Hello Fellow ASpacers,

I am wondering if anybody out there can shed some light on the following error messages I'm getting when I try to import two large (17MB and 9.2MB) and "old" legacy EAD FA's into ASpace.  No doubt there are some issues mapping the older encoding in these files to ASpace but all I'm getting are <NoMethodError>'s, so I am not sure if it is the encoding or the size of the FA's that are causing the problems (or some other completely separate issue).

First the error messages from the import page:

==================================================
eastman.xml
==================================================

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMPORT ERROR
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for nil:

AND

==================================================
snyder.xml
==================================================

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMPORT ERROR
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `items' for #<#<Class:0x7c31e28f>:0x7d5a8b45>>
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And from ASpace system log:

snyder.xml
