[Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD Import Error

[Blake Carver]

We've seen that error once before the problem was a random stray "<container type="Box">1</container>" in the collection level description. I don't know that you'd have the exact same thing in there, but maybe you have something random in a place it shouldn't be in that EAD.

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?

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!
