CSDGM Writer - Attribute Range Domain Missing #238

Closed dwalt closed 1 year ago

dwalt commented 1 year ago

Attribute Range domain not being translated from mdJSON. Value range is a series of elements within an attribute that must be detected and described in CSDGM as a range domain (rdom).

Still investigating...

I'm getting valid output from this mdjson file through the command line translator range.json.zip

It looks like mdEditor isn't sending the "dataDictionary" to the translator when a user clicks on the "translate" button, but that section seems like it gets imported/exported correctly

these files seem to be related to the issue:

mdEditor/app/pods/components/md-translate/component.js

mdEditor/app/services/mdjson.js - line 114 injectDictionaries()

@dwalt does this seem like I'm on the right track?

@timothypage This would make sense in that data dictionaries are exported at translation time with a metadata record based on the dictionary id foreign key. Dictionaries can also be exported independently as well. I don't know if this is the problem. I think there is either a logic problem or something not working right when the writer traps for a range existence and then writes it out as a CSDGM domain. Maybe put a trace on it to see if the logic is working correctly? Looking at the code, I couldn't see anything obviously wrong with it.
