[Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: Unable to create Accession Report in PDF

It worked for us as well, after I changed the & in the repository name (We only have a single repository).  Thanks Christine!  Changing one place is definitely more workable than trying to change all instances in all records. 😊

We are good now, though it will be better if this can be fixed…

That's it, Christine. One of our repositories does have an ampersand in the name. I just tested the other repository in our instance, that does not have an ampersand in its name, and the report was generated successfully.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hello Patrick, Bin, and Steve,

As Steve and Blake mentioned, many legacy ampersand issues were fixed with the 2.6.0 release. Can those who are experiencing difficulties with PDF reports failing tell us if they’re running them for a repository with an ampersand in the name?

We are not seeing failures for ampersands in general, just for ones where the repository has an ampersand in it. In fact, in our testing, the Name Records List report, which uses the same data across all repositories, runs successfully for all of our repositories except for one with an ampersand in it. (This is specifically for the repository name appearing in the header and footer of the report, not the repository appearing as a record within the report.) If you have multiple repositories in your ArchivesSpace, some with ampersands in the name and some without, I’d be interested to know if you’re seeing similar behavior.

Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: Unable to create Accession Report in PDF

Hi everyone,

I am having the same issue and I am not sure it is related to the use of ampersands at all. I created a test accession record and gave it a collection name of "Test" and unique ID of "123456789" with all other fields blank and am still getting the error message below. Please note that I am using the "Created Accessions" report and limiting the data range to only generate a pdf of the test accession.

Not yet sure my diagnosis was correct. Looks like there is an xml_clean!()  Function:

That gets called in the view template for PDF output:

So we need to investigate further and see if it’s working as intended.

Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: Unable to create Accession Report in PDF

v2.6.0 added a fix for the dreaded unescaped ampersands in EAD export ( and PDF export from staff interface, which generates EAD and transforms to PDF, where malformed XML in the export stage is the usually problem when PDF export fails. ),

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/commit/18f2f5100e8aa4510c61158a9accf279fb60e895


 but I don’t think it will fix this issue in the report generator.

I think adding some code to this clean_invalid_xml_characters() function to detect and escape unescaped ampersands might be the place to fix it:

Thanks Blake!  We do have “&” in accession records (in title and various other fields).  It’s going to be a lot of work to replace all of them.  Is this something the software can look for and take care of?  We were able to get the same report in other formats with no problem (JSON, RTF, HTML).

"The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference."

That makes me think there's an ampersand in that record and it's choking on it when it tries to make the PDF.

Is there anything in there with ampersands? Like "J&J Automotive" or something?

We are having problem creating Accession Report in PDF format.  All other formats (JSON, CSV, RTF) are working, just not the PDF format.  I have attached log below.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
