Importing Mbox files gives 'Exception fetching/indexing emails' in ePADD 8 #400

Closed jfarwer closed 3 years ago

jfarwer commented 3 years ago

When importing an Mbox file, I get an error message box with Exception fetching/indexing emails coming up, and the browser stays on the Import page. Pointing the browser to the main Browse page shows that the emails have actually been imported. However, a NullPointerException was thrown during import, meaning that probably not all processes have finished correctly.

This problem seems to occur first in commit 2f1b0d1 (Merge branch 'master' into entity-CIC). Both parents of the merge work fine for me.

Update

I downloaded epadd-standalone.jar and epadd.exe from the GitHub ePADD 8 release page. It looks like the folder ‘epadd-settings’ which is created by running either of these is not the newest version and that is why the import doesn’t work properly. There is a link from the ePADD release page on GitHub to the installation guide and there it says

In order for functionality for authority reconciliation to perform correctly, you must also separately download the configuration files (epadd-settings.zip), accessible via https://github.com/ePADD/epadd/releases/

The link points back to the release page. I think it should point to the epadd-settings page (https://github.com/ePADD/epadd-settings).

There seems to be an issue with the epadd-settings folder that was packaged with build releases. This should be fixed with the release of version 8.1.
