Bug #3892
closedEML 2 Dataset file path confusion
0%
Description
Kepler 1.0.0, Java 1.6.0_11, XP 64-bit
The EML 2 Dataset actor parameters EML File and Data File look for file paths. If I open a new workflow, add the EML 2 Dataset actor, and browser to two files, their full paths are recorded in the actor. I can save this workflow and open it with no problems.
If I place the saved workflow in the same folder as the EML and data files, open the saved workflow, edit the EML 2 Dataset actor, and browse to the same two files, then the full paths are replaced with local paths relative to the workflow's xml file (i.e., just the filename). If I save this modified workflow and try to reopen it, I get an error:
Data entity : Dailyrain1992.txt, failed to be downloaded and please check the data link in metadata
The URL is a zip of four files:
EML file: judithk.609.21.xml
Data file: judithk.657.1-Dailyrain1980.txt
first workflow (no error on load): full path.xml
second workflow (error on load): filename only.xml

Although the workflow in full path.xml loads fine, it does not run properly, as noted in bug #3893:
