Is there a way to return error messages? about active_admin_import HOT 8 CLOSED

all invalid instances are stored in import.result[:failed] and you can have access to it in after_import hook. However I didn't try this behaviour , I will check ASAP if it is possible, but at least now you can try with after_import hook

👍 that's great.. I can then combine it with a mailer or pass it as a flash error message.

I added support to redefine messages processing and so on. You can try

add to Gemfile

gem "active_admin_import", git: 'https://github.com/Fivell/active_admin_import.git'

Example

  active_admin_import :validate => true do
    flash[:notice] = "#{@importer.result[:imported]} records were imported successfully" if @importer.result[:imported].to_i > 0
    if @importer.result[:failed].any?
      flash[:warning] = "#{@importer.result[:failed].count} records were not imported"
      invalid_item =  @importer.result[:failed][0]
      flash[:error] =  "#{invalid_item.name} errors: #{invalid_item.errors.full_messages.join(',')}"
    end
  end

Hi @Fivell
I tried to use the code you provided on your comment, but it fails. There is a character escaping added everytime I call @importer.headers :

@importer.headers
=> {"[\"title\", \"title\"]"=>"[\"title\",_\"title\"]", "[\"description\", \"description\"]"=>"[\"description\",_\"description\"]", ...}

Note : it works if I do the same inside the after_batch_import proc

import.headers
=> {"title"=>"title", "description"=>"description",...

I'm using version 2.5.1

Hi @Fivell. I am a newbie to rails and active admin. I tried using the above code with slight modification to show error messages. But I am getting an error message for flash. Could you please help me?
