[ckan-dev] Creating resource with upload from an extension

Thu Apr 28 12:11:11 UTC 2016

Hi
Your solution does not produce any error, although if I have
resource_dict['url']
= None,
[ckanext.harvest.model] Validation Error: {'URL': 'Missing value'}

If I had a value I get that value on the resource link, not a resource
pointing to the filestore (or ckan internal storage).

Any ideas?
I'm thinking on using the API inside the extension, but this is a very
hacky solution..
