Thanks for reporting this @stephanieyurchak
Looks like there no actual data in the staging instance of the catalogue. Could you confirm this with the dev team working on this? You could even reference this issue directly and get them having a conversation about how they are envisioning we test this without data.
I have submitted a ticket to their JSM channel and will reach out when I hear back.
The data in the test environment has been refreshed and is available now.
New testing deadline: August 15th
Additional messaging: Thank you so much for sharing your findings on the new version of the catalogue in our UAT environment. Our team has refreshed the data, and API keys in UAT environment recently. If you use APIs in our test environment, please update your application(s) with new API keys. You can find it here at https://toyger.data.gov.bc.ca/user/profile.
IMPORTANT: If you or your clients use APIs to access, view or edit your datasets and resources, the schema changes will affect your current setup. Please refer to "Breaking Change" mentioned in the previous email for further guidance and test your applications using our TEST API (toyger.data.gov.bc.ca/api).
There are several datasets that return a 403 (forbidden) when trying to download the resource in the test environment, but are downloadable from the live catalogue. This is because the URL for the download points to localhost
. For example downloading the resource from here works:
https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/8620ce82-4943-43c4-9932-40730a0255d6 (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/8620ce82-4943-43c4-9932-40730a0255d6/resource/29720918-fad5-4619-89c2-bc04e96febf6/download/bc-stats_2022-new-homes-data-final.xlsx)
But from here does not as the url is localhost:
https://toyger.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/8620ce82-4943-43c4-9932-40730a0255d6 (http://localhost:5000/dataset/8620ce82-4943-43c4-9932-40730a0255d6/resource/29720918-fad5-4619-89c2-bc04e96febf6/download/bc-stats_2022-new-homes-data-final.xlsx).
I assume this will be fixed when moved to prod, but it makes it difficult to test.
I've opened a ticket for this. Assuming this gets fixed the rest of the tests are passing
