Unable to Import project

[lanrat]

After first signing in, I tried to import my pebble watchface from https://github.com/lanrat/minimalin-reborn and got the error:
Error: 'InvalidProjectArchiveException' object has no attribute 'message'

I do not see any errors in the browser's console. But I do see a GET request to https://cloudpebble.repebble.com/ide/task/3d89db95-1eb8-4ac4-aeda-62c8329a388e which returns:

{
    "state": {
        "status": "FAILURE",
        "result": "'InvalidProjectArchiveException' object has no attribute 'message'"
    },
    "success": true
}

@lanrat In your project, try renaming package.template.json to package.json

The Cloud Pebble project expects package.json or appinfo.json

I'll submit a PR that shows a more descriptive error message shortly.

[lanrat]

Thanks, that seems to have fixed it!

I dynamically generate package.json on each build. Would there be a proper way to handle that and use cloudpebble?

[ateich]

In the Import Existing Project window, you could select UPLOAD ZIP and upload your project's Source code (zip) file from the Releases section of GitHub.

This should work as long as the release has package.json and not just package.template.json

I don't know if this is related, but trying to import a private repository which does have a package.json in the root of the files. I made sure it had the pebble object as well. The error doesn't tell me much.

{"state": {"status": "FAILURE", "result": "'Exception' object has no attribute 'message'"}, "success": true}

I still have an issue trying to import my private repository.

main and Emery-Support both exist as branches for this repository.

Hi @chriseilander,

Could you send me a picture of the SETTINGS page? (click the SETTINGS button on the top right of the window, this is different from the project SETTINGS on the left hand side of the page)

On the SETTINGS page, under GITHUB REPO SYNC, have you

• clicked INSTALL GITHUB APP
• clicked LINK YOUR GITHUB ACCOUNT

If you have already done this, could you click RE-AUTHENTICATE?

[chriseilander]

I've tried re-authenticating before posting above comment and just now again. Still the same error message. I don't know if it should, but re-authenticating or unlinking and linking doesn't prompt a github approve screen or something. It just soft refreshes the page.

I will tell you I didn't do the CloudPebble Repo Sync install first. I somehow missed that. (if this is necessasary maybe this button shouldn't be hidden when a github account is linked?) But installing this and giving access to all my repo's and doing the re-authenticating, linking and unlinking, still gave me the same error.

@chriseilander I have reproduced your issue on my local dev environment and am working on a fix. Thanks for debugging this issue with me :)

[ericmigi]

thank you @ateich for helping everyone out on these issues! really appreciate the help

[ateich]

@chriseilander The fix has been deployed. Give it a try and let me know how it goes (you may need to click RE-AUTHENTICATE under GITHUB REPO SYNC in SETTINGS before it works)

[chriseilander]

@ateich Indeed, it now works and I successfully imported the repository after clicking RE-AUTHENTICATE. Thanks!
