Error submitting package undefined method `value' for nil:NilClass

[szanati]

I got the following error while submitting a package on both production and ripple:

ERROR Error submitting UF00028315_01045: undefined method `value' for nil:NilClass.

On production the package had rejected last week and UF fixed and resubmitted when it gave the above error.

It took me a while but I was able to locate this problem package on production server, put it on the snow server, http://www.fcla.edu/daitss-test/packages/UF00028315_01045.tar for downloading and troubleshooting purpose.

This package is missing the xref element in the METS file section, hence, daitss error out. I have made changes in DAITSS to dump out more detail error.

The problem section is

it suppose to follow with a METS:flocat with the xref. See the file sec before and after for a correct METS filesec, like this

additional codes have been added to DAITSS so that it will be easier for DAITSS operator which filesec is causing the problem. As an example, here is the new output:

the code changes have been rolled out to ripple for FDA production staff to better diagnose the sip descriptor.

A fix has been pushed out on 4-6-17. Now the package rejects instead of errors and it shows why the package was rejected.
