Fixes for the pack() and unpack() method

[jan-janssen]

@jyang2009 based on our discussion I created a couple of fixes for the pack() and unpack() method. Can you check if these resolve the issues you had with archiving on ptmp?

Hi Jan,

I've tested this fix but got a new error when using the copy_to function. I copy the error below.

@jyang2009 Can you provide a bit more details about the commands you were executing that resulted in this error?

Hi Jan,

I just used the code that I used to copy jobs to the new project, which was working previously.
pr_archive = Project("archive")
job_new = job.copy_to(project=pr_archive)

Hi Jing,

I am sorry for the delay. The error message basically says, that pr_archive is not a recognised data type. You can check the data type using:

type(pr_archive)

My assumption would be it is just a str or a Path object. In those cases you can create a project from it using:

pr_archive=Project(pr_archive)

This should resolve this issue.

Best,

Jan

@samwaseda Originally I was waiting for feedback from @jyang2009 if this solves her problem, as from my side this looks ready to be merged.

I would have probably changed the error message and kept the current functionality, but I'm ok with the suggested solution.

Side note: I don't think the csv file should be separated from the tar file, so I will probably remove it entirely in this PR
