Fetched ontology pack is not valid UTF-8

Type URI: https://modeled-information-format.github.io/mif-rs/references/errors/ontology-pack-not-utf8/v1 HTTP status: 422 Exit code: 1 Emitted by: mif-rh (MifRhError::OntologyPackNotUtf8)

Message

Section titled “Message”
ontology '{id}' file '{file}' is not valid UTF-8

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

A checksum-verified, freshly-fetched ontology pack’s bytes turned out not to be valid UTF-8, so the file is rejected rather than lossily converted. A lossy conversion would silently substitute replacement characters, which would mean the diffed schema is no longer the exact schema that was already hashed and fetched.

Suggested fix

Section titled “Suggested fix”

Unspecified — the registry-published ontology pack file is corrupt or was published with non-UTF-8 content; investigate upstream and re-publish a valid pack.
