I have not encountered any problems with attaching files earlier. I decided to play around with partially filled import files. I succeeded in creating a file that fails to attach files even though the importer reports success. BASE 2.8.4 and my 2.9pre test version both fails but the resolution of the problem is only tested on my 2.9pre test machine.
Lets go, I am simply using three columns Name Platform File A affymetrix A.cel B affymetrix B.cel with the CEL files properly uploaded. A and B raw bioassays are successfully created as Affymetrix data. The file type is set to 'CEL file' but no file was attached. Note, I did not specify type, but when a Data file type column was added Name Platform File Data file type A affymetrix A.cel CEL file B affymetrix B.cel CEL file things work. Rerunning the import ... voila the raw bioassays where updated with assigned files. I decided to start from scratch with a file like Name Platform File Data file type C affymetrix A.cel CEL file D affymetrix B.cel CEL file and two raw bioassays were succesfully created with file attached! I hope this helps! I suppose the above should be reported as a ticket. The ticketing work will be left for Monday because the ale next to my keyboard has been flirting with me for a while now.
