Describe the bug Problem encountered Generating a Review Document (appears to be file dependent-- some xml files do not produce this error message).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. With an XML FGDC-compliant metadata file open in Metadata Wizard, Go to 'Validation'
  2. Click on 'Generate Review Document'.
  3. Choose 'Yes' to save current file before continuing.
  4. Choose a file location to save the file.
  5. See error.
  6. The word document fails to be produced.

Expected behavior A review Word Document (.docx) to be generated.

Additional context In trying to troubleshoot, I tested the Generate Review Doc function on published files. Some generate the error and some do not. All the files I tested pass the FGDC validation step. I have not been able to distinguish what the root cause(s) are within the files themselves so I can address them in my current work. Can provide example files if needed.

It looks like the non-resolving value of 'tbd' in a URL field might be causing the issue? I would expect that to flag as an error, without necessarily crashing the tool. Please follow up with @ennsk directly and provide any files you are able to that may help recreate the error.

@dignizio-usgs good thought! I cleared the "TBD"s from the file and still got the error.

Thanks. I'll follow with @ennsk with files etc. Is there a suggested/preferred method of contact to do so? (email, github, teams?)

@edlabo - you can just email me at kenns@usgs.gov Thanks!

Will do, thank you!

Re-install from the 2.0.7 release page fixed this bug. Closing ticket.
