Project Import error "ascii codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0:"

Import and Export
1

Hi all,
I tried to import a project folder (called “P10”) from a v2.15.0 instance into a v3.0.0 instance, however, it gives me the following error:
“ascii codec can’t decode byte 0x89 in position 0: ordinal not in”

Any ideas?

Best wishes,
Dan

Hi @mannda,

Can you give us the full logs from cryosparcm log command_core?

Thanks!

Hi @stephan,
here’s the log:

Same error on my side too. Had issues while updating cryosparc (Improper usage error while creating user) and after that got resolved, importing a project does not work. The workspaces are populated without any jobs in them. The log looks almost identical to what is posted above by @mannda

I see the same. Seems like a global issue/bug?

Hi @jelka, @vamsee, @mannda,

This is indeed a bug, and will be fixed in the next version of cryoSPARC, which should be released today. EDIT: cryoSPARC v3.0.1 has been released, which includes a fix to this bug.
