[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Need help Interpreting an EAD ingest error message

Kate,
That's very strange! I am able to import the following container list without any issue:
<c>
<did>
<unittitle>test</unittitle>
<container type="box">1</container>
</did>
<c>
<did>
<unittitle>test</unittitle>
<container type="box">1</container>
</did>
</c>
</c>
...so I think we can rule out possibility 1. I don't have the time to test the other possibilities right now, but I'm pretty certain that you're right about one of those (although I hope it doesn't come down to possibility 4)!

I have now figured out what change needs to be made to get this file to ingest; however, the file is valid and there are no entities or anything like that involved. Both versions of this finding aid are attached.
The difference between the file loading into AS and the file not loading is merely the presence of one, completely valid, no errors or entities <container>.
Possibilities: 1) AS doesn't like a parent and child <c>s having in the same box? 2) AS doesn't like having a <daogrp> and a <container> in the same <c> 3) these two things in combination? 4) Something entirely else?
The file that loads is named hua34016_after_preprocess_c02061_container_removed.xml (the only change from the original files is that the <container> tag and its contents in <c id="hua34016c02061"> deleted).
The original file that will not load is: hua34016_after_preprocess.xml
The difference between the two files is nothing but the bold, struck-through text below:
<c id="hua34016c02060" level="item">

<unittitle>Earl Kim, Professor of Music </unittitle>

Kate, Dave:
Can you attach the EAD file? I wonder if this is being caused by an empty container element in the source file, or something else related to a container attribute?

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<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_archivesspace_archivesspace_issues_562&d=CwMFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=s7ciGQfUJeaV_ryx908hbeXDoU9aqDwDN0Z0VbfsJ3Y&m=ERzAvzSXe42UmonJgojyvD1484RlNyn-QSATOuzZvXo&s=oO93J6Ka9dFf7QayarOong95aFQ4LXdEzAQQlYWekmM&e=>, so if anyone DOES have the time and inclination, I'd start there (the github issue links directly to the code causing the error).

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

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