empty job without componnets in local and git - how to fix?
Subject: Jobs Opening Empty (Corrupted) in Talend Studio – Components Missing
Description: We are facing a critical issue where some Talend jobs open without any components in the design view. The .item files exist in Git, but the jobs appear empty even after deleting the local workspace and reloading from Git. This indicates the corruption is present in the Git repository itself.
Environment Details:
Talend Big Data Platform: 8.0.1
Java: Zulu 17
Projects:
init_project
dwh_reference_project
Branching Strategy:
Each project has two branches: dev (development) and master (production).
Workflow:
Copy jobs from master to dev for development.
Increment version (e.g., from 0.1 to 0.2).
Copy back from dev to master and publish to Nexus.
Issue Details:
After deleting the workspace and reopening Talend, jobs still appear corrupted (empty canvas).
This confirms the corruption exists in Git, not just in the local workspace.
The problem occurs after versioning and branch copy operations.
.item files are present but seem incomplete or broken.
Impact:
Development workflow is blocked.
Jobs cannot be edited or executed.
Corruption persists across branches and versions.
Steps Taken:
Deleted workspace and reloaded from Git.
Verified .item files exist but jobs remain empty.
Checked Talend logs and Git history.
Tried regenerating POM and cleaning cache.
Request:
Please investigate why jobs become corrupted during branch copy/versioning.
Provide guidance on:
How to recover corrupted jobs from Git.
How to prevent this issue in future.
Is there a known bug related to Talend 8.0.1 and Git branching/versioning?
Check Studio patch/version allignment, you’re on Talend 8.0.1 + Zulu 17. Make sure your Studio build/patch matches what was used to author the jobs. Opening a job with an older/newer patch can collapse content or skip migration.
