csv import on models with specializations (archimate zip files)

[aborgmann-zech]

Version of Archi

5.0.0 build 202303061333

Archi Plug-ins

Archi Collaboration (CoArchi) 0.8.4 Archi Collaboration (CoArchi) CL 0.8.4 Database export/import plugin 4.9.6 Excel for Archi 1.0.0 jArchi 1.3.1 jArchi CL 1.3.1 jArchi Examples 1.3.1 Lightbox for Archi 1.2.0

Operating System

Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2

Expected Behaviour

Import of elements, properties and relations should add/update these objects to the model.

Actual Behaviour

Nothing happens. No adding, no updating, no error messages I can narrow down the error to archimate models with specializations (archimate zip files with model and images). Same procedure with same import files work on "plain" models.

Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour

1. Take an existing model without specializations

2. Add a specialisation with(!) image

3. Import csv file - nothing happens

4. Remove specialization with image

5. Save model (model file will be extracted from archive and saved as a plain .archimate file)

6. Import same csv file - objects will be imported correctly

Thanks for the report. I can reproduce this bug. I'm working on a fix now.

This is because I re-wrote the CSV import code to re-use the model importer code. The model importer code expects to see an ArchiveManager in the imported model if there are images. Unfortunately, I forget to set one.

This will be fixed in Archi 5.0.1 next week. Sorry, there is no workaround other than to not use CSV import if the target model has an image set for a Specialization.

Great. Thank you for the quick reply.

CSV import works again like a charm. Great work! Thank you.
