[BUG] "Bad Gateway" in Investigation, Study and Assay view

[Thyra]

OS and framework information:

• OS: macOS 15.3.2 (24D81)
• ARCitect: v0.0.57

Describe the bug
ARCitect shows a "Bad Gateway" black screen when clicking on anything representing a "ISA-XLSX" file (Investigation, Study or Assay, see screenshot). This also happens when creating a completely new ARC so I assume it has nothing to do with the ARC contents. My only idea is that it could have to do with git.nfdi4plants.org not being reachable at the moment (second screenshot). Let me know if you need any further info!

The datahub (https://git.nfdi4plants.org) is down today.
And so is the swate instance (https://swate-alpha.nfdi4plants.org) plugged in to ARCitect.

I don't know much about how ARCitect works internally but if at all possible I think it would be good if it works offline/stand-alone to make sure people can open ARCs with it way into the far, dystopian future ;-)

[Brilator]

Yep, there's a trade-off. You (users) do not want to download the world (all ontologies offered for proper annotation inside ARCitect via Swate).
And yes, the ARC is built on standards and data-centric tool-agnostic first: you can still open the ARC (using your windows explorer, macOS finder, etc,) and tables in there (Excel, Libre / open office). 😉

Converted to discussion as it's not an ARCitect bug, but rather feedback to discuss (possibly needs to be moved higher / out of ARCitect)

[Thyra]

You are right of course, but if the servers are down my expectation would be that just the Ontology Lookups don't work, not that the whole interface disappears 😄 (almost all fields are still meaningfully editable without the lookups, or at least viewable, no?). I don't know how easy that is to change in this instance (i.e. how closely coupled these things are) but in principle I think that's how it should be designed.

I saw the issue and i understand the requirement. We will discuss possible solutions next monday on a technical level and see if any solves the issue without too much time investment

[Thyra]

Is this fixed with release v0.0.62? At least I can edit the XLSX files through ARCitect without an internet connection, which is a very good sign 😃

[Freymaurer]

Yes this should be solved. Previously ARCitect built a live connection to our Swate service on swate-alpha.nfdi4plants.org. Now every ARCitect release contains the reöevant code from a specified Swate release. You are still able to set a custom Swate instance via the advanced settings. So if you want the absolute latest bug fixes/features you might want to set this to the url above. Otherwise you can always wait for the next ARCitect release 🙂

[Thyra]

Awesome! 🎉😃 Then I'm going to close the discussion, feel free to re-open if still/again relevant.
