Import is producing an error "This value should not be null" when the RSS feed content contains text

Can you attach a screenshot of your mappings and include the URL for the feeds that you are trying to grab?

andreayaya,

Looking at your mappings, I think you should be able to change your "source -> title" to be "source -> Feed Title". The "Title" is the title that displays at the beginning of the feed, while the "Feed Title" is what is displayed for each entry. I'd be careful about using this as your unique field and recommend using the "guid" as your unique field even if you do not display it.

I've attached an example of a mapping that I am using for reference.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Daboo

Actually, it is the other way around. "Title" is the title or name of each entry in the RSS feed, while "Feed title" is the name of the channel.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the mapping. I guess it would be more useful to see an export of the whole feed type. You can export the feed type at admin/config/development/configuration/single/export. There for 'Configuration type' select 'Feed type' and for 'Configuration name' the name of the feed type. Attach the result here as a text file.

Doh! My bad. Thanks for the correction MegaChriz.

Do you want to try to reproduce this issue? I'm currently focussed on other Feeds issues.

I think this might be easier to deal with if we add some slight improvements to the error message. Attaching a patch that prints all the validation errors instead of just the first and includes the fields if applicable. I'm getting odd behavior with all the html in the message, but thats not new.

@andreayaya if you apply this patch and attempt to use the feed does it give you enough information to debug?

@wolffereast
I've opened an issue for improving the error message that is shown when entity validation fails: #2868073: EntityProcessorBase::entityValidate(): add more context to error message if validation fails. The patch there does something similar as your patch in #9. Would love feedback!

See also #2888258: Feeds says entry is null when populated.

Try the patch from #2868073: EntityProcessorBase::entityValidate(): add more context to error message if validation fails in order to provide more context about the reported error.

No further info provided.

I get same error trying to import a CSV file.

"An entity of type "contido" failed to validate with the following errors:

Punto de interese (title): This value should not be null.

Please check your mappings."

But I don't get the error if I change my csv file delimiters from "," to ";"
