Upload Resource Driver - Invalid driver: drivermetadata.xml is missing
Trying to create a custom python based resource driver and am running into an issue when I upload it. Within the compressed file I've got my driver.py, drivermetadata.xml, and requirements.txt. Pretty new at this so working with a very basic driver setup. When I attempt to upload I get the following error - Error Invalid driver: drivermetadata.xml is missing. Can anyone offer any insights or known gotchas that would be causing this?
Please try zip only the files, not the folder
You're trying to upload it as a package instead of uploading it through the Manage/Drivers page.
A package can contain much more elements (data model, resources, blueprints, drivers, scripts, metadata file, etc) so it has a different structure (try to export a blueprint and look at the zip content.
I am attempting to upload through the Manage/Drivers/Resource page. Eventually I would like to include all those elements, but at the moment I've got the following in my package:
- driver.py
- drivermetadata.xml
- requirements.txt
Is uploading as a .zip file now the through the Manage/Drivers/Resource page not the best method?
Sorry, I missed the file name that it was complaining about (if metadata.xml is missing - that's when you try to load a package).
If you have these files, it's good enough for uploading as a driver - just make sure you're having them in the root of the zip file and not in a folder.
That did it, I had the files in a folder and was then zipping the folder instead of just zipping the files.
