Hello Everyone, I have a survey with 5 repeat groups. I am trying to use ODK meta to merge the main data with the repeat group data. However, the generated ODK Do-File does not run the merge and gives error during the assetion of the merge. assert `merge' != 2 "Assertion is flase" I think the pr…

Hi, @Francisco_Carballo , @Matthew_White , @aurdipas ! We've released Briefcase v1.12.1 which includes a fix for some issues related to what you're discussing here :slight_smile:

@Francisco_Carballo , @aurdipas , have you been able to use odkmeta successfully in the past? Can you tell whether these issues have only recently started occuring? It'd be quite useful if you're able to upload an example form that demonstrates these two issues (the merge error and the filename issue…

We're still investigating, but one possibility is that this is related to changes made for Briefcase version 1.11.0. (The current version of Briefcase is 1.12.0.) I've created a GitHub issue about PARENT_KEY and one about filenames . While those discussions are ongoing, one option is to use the late…

Hello Matthew, Thanks for investigating this issue. It is the first time using ODK meta, I do not know when they ocurred first. Regarding file names, in my case the names differ more than only underscores. In the repeat group files, an extra word is included in the Do-File (namely the name of the…

[image] Francisco_Carballo: Regarding file names, in my case the names differ more than only underscores. In the repeat group files, an extra word is included in the Do-File (namely the name of the group), while the file exported from Briefcase does not include the name of the group. Do you s…

Hello Matthew, Yes, you are right. With Briefcase 1.10.1 the only difference is hyphens/underscores. Best, Francisco

Thank you for the quick release, @ggalmazor ! @Francisco_Carballo , @aurdipas , this should resolve the two issues you were seeing. Filenames are also exported with hyphens between group names, not underscores, which means that the odkmeta do-file should work without you having to modify filenames.

Hello @Matthew_White @ggalmazor , Thanks for the quick fix. File names are good now, and PARENT_KEY and KEY match in the parent and child files. However, okdmeta still does not run properly. In this case, a problem with the device_id is issued: device_id char device_iddevice_id[Odk_name] device_…

Thanks for reporting this, @Francisco_Carballo . Other than having to modify filenames, were you able to run the odkmeta do-file successfully for exports from Briefcase 1.10.1? Or is this error message also issued for exports from Briefcase 1.10.1? [image] Francisco_Carballo: I think it could be…

Hello @Matthew_White and @ggalmazor , I have to note that this error is only issued when I generate a new odkmeta do-file on my survey and try to run it.. So it might be more related to odkmeta than to a Briefcase version. To be honest, I am a bit confused now. The code generated by "odkmeta" is so…

Thanks for sharing your form, @Francisco_Carballo ! When I ran odkmeta for the form and ran the resulting do-file, no error message was issued. I also don't see this command in the do-file, which you mentioned above: char device_iddevice_id[Odk_name] device_id Instead I see: char device_id[Odk_nam…
