Hello Javier

This is a known issue, it seems certain mime types are not allowed in the .zip file. They are working on this as we speak. The work-around is to remove all files from the .zip that are not allowed. I will update you with the actual allowed list, but look for files that are not .css, .js etc.

Let me know.

Hi,

in addition to mto‌'s mail. Try to remove the files meeting the following criteria:

File extension
- .md
- .markdown
- .less
Files without content (e.g. .gitignore, etc.)
Files without file extension (e.g. LICENSE)
Folders starting with a . (e.g. ".idea", ".git", etc.)

Hope this helps, if not, please let me know, we are just about to test the fix for 2.1.1 and I am eager to understand which other file types are not accepted but typically used in extensions.

Regards

Stefan

Forgot to mention, we are planning to approach this issue by providing two tools:

An official one to path the Qlik Sense server that it will allow again those files to be included in the extension import
An unofficial one (published on GitHub) to check that an extension works for sure on servers which are not patched ... so this tool would more be for extension developers

As I am writing these lines, we are about to test these approaches and they should be published next week.

Stefan

But is the same problem.

I try 2 way:

1) compress folder and import into the qmc.

2) copy files in the folder: C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Extensions

Is the same, i don't import a new extension in version 2.1.1

Javier

We got the same problem with our extension.

The file blocking the import was :

- The licence file (.lic)

- The cursor file (.cur)

- The font file (.eot)

In fact I think the server is expecting only file extension that he know : css/js/png/jpg/qext/wbl all other file are not allowed on the server. Txt file is fine for the server.

Are they a list of all the allowed file extension ?

It's got a .gitignore file and other git related files in there. I found that the upload doesn't like git artifacts either.

Try taking out README.md and the .gitignore file and it should load.
