Publish UI Testing Feedback

06/11/2024

• Upload dataset: drag and drop didn't work but I could upload by clicking and selecting a dwca
• Locally created DWCA failed with network error - you are looking at that one
• Prod dwca from dwca-imports fails due to no occurrenceID in core file
• Prod dwca from dwca-exports successful

Question re mandatory fields: what do we do about licensing/rights/citations that are specific to occurrence records not the whole dataset?

Empty metadata fields display

• For non-mandatory metadata fields with no data, maybe blank rather than null. Some datasets may have many different methods - occurrence-specific, multiple surveys etc...

Modify and re-publish dataset

• Updated text in eml.xml and loaded to re-publish
• Metadata from eml file displays correctly
• Mandatory fields, licence/rights/citation have not been saved from previous publishing and have to be re-entered

I've looked into the DWCA that failed with network error. The issue with the dataset is, there are some empty values for decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude. This has cause geopandas to fail while trying to plot the map. Publish service is giving error 500 for this. However, the network error message is from the publish ui.

Another update: The validator coordinate validation is not working as it should to report the empty values in the dwca https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/dwc-dataframe-validator/blob/master/dwc_validator/validate.py#L55

As for the following points:
Prod dwca from dwca-imports fails due to no occurrenceID in core file
Prod dwca from dwca-exports successful

This is current expected behaviour. Publishing service only accepts the default occurrenceID in core file.

@patkyn - great thanks!
