I've downloaded the example projects but when I try to load them it says "unable to parse or not a valid .json file." Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Thanks for any assistance.

Hello What version are you using? I just tried both in 1.2.2 and loaded fine. Just to confirm are you doing a “restore database from file in new project” in project manager? Be sure to select the json file for the project you want to import

I'm using 1.2.2. Here's what happens when I click "restore database from file" and upload the goddess of fate json.

well this is strange! can you CTRL + Shift + I and see console output? Long shot: Is the file inaccesible, inside a zip, or permission or something that might be causing the app not properly loading the OS file? what OS are you running? Thanks for the help troubleshooting this!

Happy to. I'm on Linux, and the file was downloaded straight from the website where the documentation is. Here is the console output, or at least I hope this is what you're looking for:

index.js:29 Init!

store.jsx:1696 Adding drafft_test to dbList

remotedb.js:1326 {canceled: false, filePaths: Array(1)}

remotedb.js:1177 {content: Blob, fileName: '/home/dan/Desktop/The goddess of fate..json', content_type: 'application/json', json: null}

store.jsx:1696 Adding drafft_test to dbList

Well this is definitely weird! I’m on Linux too, using the AppImage version I get this:

{content: Blob, fileName: '/home/baj/Downloads/The goddess of fate..json', content_type: 'application/json', json: {…}}
content: Blob {size: 860384, type: ''}
content_type: "application/json"
fileName: "/home/baj/Downloads/The goddess of fate..json"
json: {total_rows: 68, offset: 0, rows: Array(68)}

I’m a little lost on what else to test, seems like the app cannot open the file to read its content for some reason, or the file is corrupted. If you create a test project, export it (Backup Database) and import it, do you get the same error? Thanks!

Creating a new project, then exporting it to .json, then adding it back in works fine. It creates the new database successfully.

can you test if the file that you downloaded is a valid JSON ?

akabell1 year ago

Okay, well, when I went to GitHub and downloaded the raw output as a .json, that worked. Right clicking and saving-as apparently did not save it correctly.

Maybe it was my fault. I really appreciate all your help. Sorry about the hassle.

No worries! Thanks for the confirmation!
