Problem importing the ecoinvent 3.8 database (spold)

[Menomo]

Updating AB

• [X] Yes, I have updated AB and still experience this issue

What happened?

When I try to import the local database (spold files) I get the following message at the SQLite write stage: The import failed because the biosphere3 database of this Project is incompatible with the version of ecoinvent that you're trying to install. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Menomo,

Did you setup your project with the right biosphere version? You can choose a specific version in the project setup wizard. Learn more: https://github.com/LCA-ActivityBrowser/activity-browser/wiki/Getting-Started#installing-a-biosphere-and-impact-categories

Kind regards,

Marin

Hi @mrvisscher, Sorry, I'm new to this. I'm using the latest version of biosphere (3.9.1). Should I use another version? Thanks for your attention.

[mrvisscher]

Yes, please set up your project with a biosphere version that matches the version of ecoinvent that you're trying to import.

@mrvisscher Now it's worked. Thank you very much!
