Hi Jim,


Do you happen to have any example EAD files we can look at?

Hi -

Just checking again to see if anyone has experienced (and has had solutions for) error messages when importing EAD instances into AS.  For us, it's:

-  "NoMethodError: undefined method 'items'"

-  mystery container errors (e.g "box" when the markup appears to be correct and other "box" components do not generate that error).

Thanks,

We're having problems with importing two collections into our dev instance of AS (see below) which generate error messages for specific components.  In the first case, the collection has other components with similar markup that result in no error.

Also, as with Jared Campbell's post this week, we also have a collection that results in a "NoMethodError: undefined method 'items'" message.  Unlike Jared's case and question re file size, this occurs for a small collection.

Error: #<RuntimeError: Problem creating 'Katz Case': Invalid value: box>

This component seems to be OK:

<c03 level="file">
<did>
<container label="Box" type="box">5</container>
<container label="Folder" type="folder">3</container>
<unittitle>Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) Rules: Violations (Interviews with Athletes)</unittitle>
<unitdate>1956</unitdate>
</did>
</c03>

But this one generated the error:

<c02 level="file">
<did>
<container label="Box" type="box">5</container>
<container label="Folder" type="folder">4</container>
<unittitle>Katz Case</unittitle>
<unitdate type="inclusive">1964-1965</unitdate>
</did>
</c02>

This is the only instance of label="Box" in this collection, but there appears to be nothing unusual about the markup:

#<RuntimeError: Problem creating 'Bibliography on 3 x 5 index cards - Compiled by Genie Candau': Invalid value: box>

<c03 level="file">
<did>
<container label="Box" type="box">1</container>
<unittitle>Bibliography on 3 x 5 index cards - Compiled by Genie Candau</unittitle>
<unitdate>1956 - 1991</unitdate>
</did>
</c03>
