Error uploading data from Github - Research

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Overview

I'm not sure if this is an error or not, but I think there was last of warning in a process that could lead to problems.

I tested uploading this CSV table to ODE: https://github.com/anacarolinamoreno/educacao_infantil_pandemia/raw/refs/heads/master/data/matriculas_por_escola_2020.csv

I got an error saying it was a valid file.

I tried a second time. Same error.

On neither attempt there was a new table showing on the left column

But then I saw that ODE saved a copy of that table to the local folder. So I had two copies there. When I closed and reopened ODE, both tables showed up on the left column, but with a black dot (not green or red). When I click to preview on ODE it just loads eternally and I have to shut it down and start over.

My files aren't small but not very large (34,4Mb). But if I was trying to do this with a larger file, then probably I could run into disc space problems by trying several times to open an online file while ODE is making copies of it on every single attempt.

@romicolman
Can confirm that problem but it's specific to this exact file, in-general, uploading works fine. We need to investigate

Ok, perfect. I'll add it to our next sprint.
