[ckan-dev] CKAN API with fluent/scheming

Thu Mar 16 20:38:32 UTC 2017

Hi,

I'm trying to use the plugin fluent/scheming with CKAN API

First, I've configured and installed the plugins and defined a json 
scheming. Everything seems to work fine when I'm using the UI: dataset 
is created with title in [fr] and [en], and title switch when I swicth 
UI language.
Even more, I can update the dataset with CKAN API.

The problems appears when I try to update a dataset AFTER creating it 
from CKAN API. I've noticed that the dataset create with CKAN API 
doesn't insert title_translated even if it's defined.
Also, I've notice that package_show returns extras[], which are not 
defined anywhere, and I don't know why.

Here's my code who doesn't generate errors (httpd logs is clean too)

         try:
             kwargs = {'id': data_dict['name']}
             package_dict = ckanremote.action.package_show(**kwargs)
         except NotFound:
             pass
         except:
             print "Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0]
             raise

         try:
             if package_dict:

                 (some updates - package_dict is updated with values of 
data_dict)

                 response_dict = 
ckanremote.action.package_update(**package_dict)
             else:
                 response_dict = 
ckanremote.action.package_create(**data_dict)
         except:

Here's the values I'm trying to insert/update

Am I missing something?

Thank you.
