import: Directory exists but is not registered: CheckedPath(

[jwarren]

Hi

I'm trying to experiment on my mac with the inplace importer but having this error wherever I try and access the image "import: Directory exists but is not registered: CheckedPath(root_0)"

I'm running as me so have access to the directories etc so don't think it's a permissions setup issue.

How do I register a directory?

(Note I'm using a fork from the 5.1.0 from the git repo).

Code: Select all

Hi,

a similar issue has been described previously in viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7537.

Can you do the same operation, i.e check under `ManagedRepository` has a `root_0` folder under it. Is this a fresh database? if so, this means the database is out-of-sync with the binary repository and removing the content of this `root_0` folder should be enough to solve your issue.

Best,
Sebastien

Great - thanks that worked. I did see that issue but thought I had done something more basic- sorry about that.
I guess I need to remove any files from the other data directories such as thumbnails as well because I get different thumbnails to the img in detail

Thanks again.

Hi,

if you are developing locally, a good practice when re-initializing a new database is definitely to drop the database and clean the data repository, for example using the default values under Unix:

Code: Select all

dropdb omero
createdb -O omero omero
bin/omero db script -f OMERO.sql
psql -U omero omero -f OMERO.sql
rm -rf /OMERO/*


On the other hand, we will investigate ways to detect stale FS directories and throw an appropriate warning.

Best,
Sebastien

Thanks for this response - your suggestions for improvements sound a good idea.

I'm now having trouble running the cli from my python script.When I run it from the command line it works ok with the extra "--" like this as in the docs: bin/omero import -- --transfer=ln_s path_to_file/45008.bmp

but when I try to run this within a python script it always complains whatever way I write it? Can you point me to a working example for transfer=ln_s ?

import_args.extend(["-d", str(dsId),"--debug", "ERROR", "--transfer","ln_s"])

results in unknown option ln_s

import_args.extend(["-d", str(dsId),"--debug", "ERROR", "--","", "--transfer","ln_s"])
results in a file not found exception?

(Note both have import_args.append(filename) afterwards).

What does the extra -- mean anyway?

Sorry if these seem like silly questions but I've spent a bit of time trying to get this to work already.


Thanks

Jonathan.

Hi Jonathan

The CLI importer uses a Java library behind the scenes to do the import, the `--` is a special flag to indicate advanced options which are passed directly to Java. In your python code you should be able to directly convert your command line string (including the `--`, keeping all arguments in the same order) into a python string array. If that doesn't work could you post the whole of your Python script?

Thanks
