Error attaching project: invalid load key, '\x00'

The error message suggests that files inside the S1/gridfs_data/ subdirectory of the project directory are corrupted.
You may try:

  1. Caution: The following procedure is outside standard CryoSPARC data management procedure. Please preserve a snapshot of the project directory’s current state before proceeding.

  2. set aside a copy of S1/gridfs_data/ contents, then empty S1/gridfs_data/. As a result, the contents of S1/gridfs_data/ will be missing from the database, but project attachment will not longer be blocked by a failed attempt to upload the presumably corrupt content. CryoSPARC Live session S1 would be missing thumbnails and other images, but the session’s data may still be usable.

  3. attempt attachment of the project directory.

  4. inspect the command_core log for signs of success or failure of the project attachment.

  5. if project attachment succeeded, but the corresponding project card at the /browse/P* URL of the CryoSPARC web app shows No Sessions and/or No Workspaces,

    try updating the projects Statistics in the right-hand sidebar.

Does this help?
