>> I'm having a weird and wonderful problem involving harvesting. I harvest 2963 datasets, and 3 of them cause an error (cryptic of course, implying that there is no name value, even though there is). After a lot of digging, I see it is because my resources (which only have one key - 'url', which is enough for a standard CKAN entry) have no name key, and this is upsetting (99% certain) the image preview when it tries to become created. These 3 datasets seem to be the only ones with .jpg resources. This is the stack trace:
