[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Need help Interpreting an EAD ingest error message

[Mayo, Dave]

Hi all,

I have a partial answer to the original question (what is this meant to tell me).

Short version: It's not meant to tell you anything, because it's an uncaught Ruby error in the ead_converter, so, a bug in ASpace, not an error message produced by ASpace intentionally.

Longer version: In ead_converter.rb, code calls .container on a hash.  I think this may be a case of "someone wrote `inst.container' when they meant `inst['container']',  but I'm not sure, and we have exactly one finding aid that hits it, so I can't prioritize it now in good conscience since our production ingest is nigh.  I filed an issue on the ASpace github, https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/issues/562, so if anyone DOES have the time and inclination, I'd start there (the github issue links directly to the code causing the error).

I don't even know what your answer means!

Off-hand, do you have a mismatch for punctuation? ` v. '

Does anyone have any idea what this is meant to tell me?

Thanks!
