Description

Workflow fails to be imported from a kar file

I do the following
File->Open File
Choose getting-started/01-SimpleAddition.xml
Then from the File menu of the SimpleAddition workflow
Choose "Export Workflow as Archive (KAR)" and save it somewhere
Close the SimpleAddition workflow
The choose File->Import Archive (KAR)
and navigate to the saved kar file and open it
An error is shown:
"There are no semantic types defined for the actor in this KAR file. Without a semantic type, it cannot be placed in the tree. Please add a semantic type."

This is very similar to bug #3595, which is the same message but to do with the importing of just an actor kar.

we absolutely need to Save and Open KARs that contain:
-1 workflow (MOML)
-1 report layout (ROML)

related to other bug that is slightly reporting-specific.
same functionality, however

this is not actually a bug about "Opening" a workflow - it has to do with "Importing"
I'd previously misunderstood. Re-target to 2.0 (unless it's actually fixed?)

Actions #5

Updated by Chad Berkley over 14 years ago

For this bug to be closed, the following functionality should work:

  • Save a kar locally and to the local repository
  • Upload a kar to a remote repository
  • Import an existing kar into the library
  • Any LSID conflicts should be handled.

Aaron, are we there yet? It seems like at least most of this was working for the sanparks release.

Import/Export of KARs is now really the Save function, so should be named as such in the menus. Plus complete items from Comment #5.

Actions #7

I just tried a Save as KAR then Open KAR and got a ClassCastException: looks like we're expecting a KarEntry (a subclass) but getting a JarEntry (the superclass). Workflow doesn't open after this exception is thrown.
