Name of Archive Owner - ePADD Directory Name #375

Closed jfarwer closed 3 years ago

jfarwer commented 4 years ago

If ‘Name of Archive Owner’ is left blank when importing a set of emails then the archive gets the name 'epadd archive of '. The space as last character of the name causes trouble and trying to export to the processing module results in the error

Sorry, error exporting archive:
java.io.IOException: Destination 'C:\Users\xxxx\epadd-processing\ePADD archive of \data\lexicons' directory cannot be created. Please see the log file for more details.

A user who is just playing around with ePADD, not setting an owner name might find it difficult figuring out what the actual problem is. As a fix the owner name could be made mandatory or alternatively in case no owner is set the blank as last character of the archive name could be removed.

Thanks for reporting this and the detailed report! We will try to replicate and let you know.

@jfarwer what did you type into the "Primary email address" field on the import screen?

Ok, I can replicate this by leaving both the Archive owner and primary email address fields blank. Thanks for reporting, we'll look into a fix.
