19:20	rliebz	pdurbin: I got distracted by some more urgent issues, but I've come back to updating metadata through JSON and I haven't gotten anywhere but 500s
19:21	rliebz	I'm trying to use `PUT http://$SERVER/api/datasets/$id/versions/:draft?key=$apiKey`
19:37	pdurbin	rliebz: I'm currently distracted by more urgent issues! sorry!
19:53	rliebz	pdurbin: No worries. I'll keep looking into it
19:57	pdurbin	rliebz: let me verify that it works for me. I don't believe I have a test that updates a dataset with JSON.
19:57	pdurbin	I mean, I'm sure I've tried it at some point but not recently.
19:57	pdurbin	rliebz: are you getting an error?
19:59	rliebz	pdurbin: I'm getting 500s without useful messages
20:00	pdurbin	booo
20:00	rliebz	pdurbin: Going to https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/dde98631f2622bf10d22b133992c1633ee1d6d43/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/Datasets.java#L248-L259 I can get as far as line 259 if I give a file bad dataset ID
20:01	rliebz	give a bad dataset ID*
20:01	pdurbin	hmm. ok
20:02	pdurbin	rliebz: you can edit dataset metadata via sword, right?
20:03	pdurbin	change the title or whatever
20:03	rliebz	pdurbin: I actually haven't tried since 4.0. I knew it overwrote existing metadata that you couldn't retrieve from sword, so we avoided using that method
20:04	pdurbin	makes sense
20:04	pdurbin	it's only useful if you have the XML you used to originally create the dataset
20:07	rliebz	pdurbin: Right, which probably won't ever be an OSF use case
20:22	rliebz	pdurbin: Just tested it out... I'm also getting a 500 with SWORD
20:41	pdurbin	huh. testSwordEditDataset says "Passed" - https://build.hmdc.harvard.edu:8443/job/apitest.dataverse.org-apitester/org.dataverse$apitester/40/testReport/org.dataverse.apitester.sword/SwordTest/testSwordEditDataset/
