Manifest download does not support downloading files not associated with a bundle #356

Open natanlao opened 5 years ago

natanlao commented 5 years ago

Per the documentation for download_manifest:

Each row in the manifest represents one file in DSS. The manifest must have a header row. The header row must declare the following columns:

  • bundle_uuid - the UUID of the bundle containing the file in DSS.
  • bundle_version - the version of the bundle containing the file in DSS.

As such, files cannot be specified in a manifest independent of a bundle.

Just to clarify, requiring a header isn't the same as requiring values in those columns. Are yousaying that a file cannot be found if the bundle specifics are not specified?

Not that it can't be found, but that (at least by my read) the manifest downloading code always assumes that a bundle is being downloaded, which means that the download operation would fail were bundle_uuid and bundle_version omitted from a manifest row.
