[Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD Import Error

[Mayo, Dave]

So, looking at the EAD converter code, there’s two places where .instances is called: handling <container> elements and handling digital objects.  Based on how the code is written, I think it’s _much_ more likely that this is a container – from what I can see, any case where a container is nested in a way where its context_object isn’t an AO or resource (or other thing that can have instances).  My first suspect is maybe the container in the <archdesc>’s DID? I’m not _positive_ and I don’t have time right now to do more digging, but it’s the one I immediately see that is different than any others.

Thanks for responding!

Yes that’s the complete error message.

So, this isn’t actually an error about a character entity – those character entities are the result of a Ruby error being double-escaped in HTML.

The error actually being emitted is:

"#<NoMethodError: undefined method `instances' for #<#<Class:0x3471635c>:0x2346a459>\nDid you mean?  instance_of?>"

Where that’s coming from, I’m not sure, unfortunately – is that the full error message?

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD Import Error

Hi,

When I try to run the background job of Import Data, EAD I get the following error:
==================================================
13036.xml
==================================================


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


Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `instances' for #<#<Class:0x3471635c>:0x2346a459>
Did you mean?  instance_of?>
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have replaced any stylized characters and looked for rogue symbols and empty tags. I tried reformatting the dates to YYYY-MM-DD.
I’ve also run it through Harvard Archivesspace_checker and it passes.

Attached is the ead file.

If anyone can let me know what the error message means that would be fantastic.

Thanks!
