Feature request: Create URL with 'Paste' option #5

Open PetyaKangalova opened 4 years ago

Describe the bug

I am supporting JICA in transforming one of their files using the IATI transformer tool

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Go to https://iati-transformer.herokuapp.com/
  2. Click on https://iati-transformer.herokuapp.com/paste
  3. Pasting the XML (happy to share the file). We are using the paste option as their file was too big to upload so had to be split into separate files.
  4. See error

JICA

Additional context

Is there a way of creating a URL for them when using the 'Paste'option?

There are plenty of schema issues that need to be fixed with their file, but at the moment they just want to re-upload to the IATI Registry. Thanks!

Hi @PetyaKangalova,

IATI Transformer doesn’t have a database, so there’s nowhere to store pasted data. That’s why this feature doesn’t exist. It’s unlikely I’ll add this feature myself. I’d consider a pull request, but it would need to work in such a way as to stay within heroku’s free database tier.

As a workaround, if you are able to first upload the XML somewhere, and then use the URL field, you’ll get a unique URL that you can share.
