Common Cartridge Import Problems with Hosted Cnavas

[stuartriceaz]

Hello All:

I've created a script with Claude that will automatically create an IMSCC archive consisting of HTML files. When I load this file to https://common-cartridge-viewer.netlify.app/, everything loads perfectly. However, when I load it to Canvas, it forces all of the pages to load as files. I have banging my head against the wall to try and fix this problem but I can't get Canvas to accept that the wiki_content should be imported as pages.

Any thoughts? Here is the code on GtitHub: https://github.com/smrice3/rise_scorm_creator.

Thanks in advance for your insights.

Can you share one simple IMSCC file generated by this code (with one or pages)? I'd compare it with an IMSCC export from Canvas with a page vs with a file.

Here's the IMSCC file in RTF. I did multiple comparisons, but I can't figure out what is causing this to happen.

I made a Canvas site with just a page, and a module linking to that page.

Exported the Canvas site as an IMSCC.

One thing missing I noticed in the file you posted is any reference to settings, so I tried removing the settings from the IMSCC I created, and that made the page be imported both as a page as well as a file. So not exactly the same situation, but perhaps making a course_settings folder with the appropriate files, and adding the settings resources to the imsmanifest you shared could help:

    <resource identifier="[...]" type="associatedcontent/imscc_xmlv1p1/learning-application-resource" href="course_settings/canvas_export.txt">
      <file href="course_settings/course_settings.xml"/>
      <file href="course_settings/module_meta.xml"/>
      <file href="course_settings/assignment_groups.xml"/>
      <file href="course_settings/files_meta.xml"/>
      <file href="course_settings/context.xml"/>
      <file href="course_settings/media_tracks.xml"/>
      <file href="course_settings/canvas_export.txt"/>
    </resource>

Hi @stuartriceaz,

I believe there is a (possibly hidden, if so contact your Customer Success Manager) feature option to have Canvas convert html content from an imscc file into a page instead of a file.  Screenshot included here:
