Bulk Load app issue

I have upgraded DHIS2 from version 2.40 to 2.41. However, I’m encountering an issue with the bulk load feature—it is not functioning as expected. When I attempt to access it, the page loads with a login link but eventually ends with a 404 error.

Appreciate your support in resolving this issue.

Hi @bekalu

Welcome back to the community. :slight_smile:

Sorry to hear that the Bulk Load app isn’t working in very 2.41. This app is developed by @eyeseetea so hopefully they’ll have a look at supporting the later version.

For your information, the issue you are seeing is because the API requests are not being sent correctly in the latest versions:

Hi @bekalu,

Thanks @Gassim, for mentioning us. Yes it seems an error on the API requests. It further seems like an error on how dhis path is referenced in the manifest.webapp but we haven’t changed this in quite a while and we are not aware of any change in DHIS2 to how this is parsed between versions 40 and 41.

We have created an internal ticket to investigate but it could take a while for us to get there as we could not reproduce the error in our environments (we did reproduce that on a play instance).

@bekalu we still have to investigate but it may be that the error is related to v41.4 (as opposed to v41.3) if you have the option to try that in a DHIS2 v41.3 instance maybe that can work for you meanwhile.

Hello @Gassim and @MiquelAdell

Thanks for the clarification. I will try with DHISv41.3.

Hi @bekalu,

Did you manage to make it work on v41.3?

We did investigate a bit more on our side and found out that it seems to be an error on version 41.4 specifically with how app manifests are processed.

We have created a jira ticket with the technical information and a request for a fix here.

We’ll closely monitor this issue and I hope we and the core team can find a solution for the next version of DHIS2 but meanwhile I’d ask to skip v41.4 if you need to use Bulk Load or other apps from the EST DHIS2 Suite I suggest you don’t update to v41.4 for now.

Thank you!
