throw an error prompting about inability when parsing the project file (The project file is not valid because content is not allowed in
prolog).
|
Applies to
Bizagi
JEE. All Versions.
|
Symptoms
Preparing
the steps to publish your JEE processes to a test or production
environment demands the use of the JEE console and its createproject
command. However,
its use yields an error when creating the project. Checking the
console log for details shows no further detail (provided on the console.log
file).
|
Cause
While
no detail is provided, being unable to parse the project file indicates
that it has corrupt information or special characters meddling with the
expected format (e.g., special XML characters which are not escaped, or line breaks, or
any other hidden characters).
|
Solution
Ensure
that the base project file has no hidden characters. You may reconfigure the XML from scratch, starting off from the blank
template, you may copy content into notepad first, or you may
thoroughly review for hidden characters by relying on other tools (e.g., switching to different encoding options in the file if using notepad++ to detect
hidden characters).
