example-add-dataset's Issues

Only Works on *Public* Datasets/Packages

There should be a mention in the README, or somewhere else like the documentation for package_show, that this only works for datasets (aka packages) that have been made public. package_show will only return public datasets, therefore if you attempt to use this script to upload files to a private dataset, it fails with a message that it can't find the dataset.

It would be very helpful if there were at least a mention of that somewhere. If that is tied to a config setting somewhere that we've set for datasets on our CKAN instance, that also could be very good to make users aware of.

On 2.6, owner_org is now compulsory

Eg,
package = ckan.action.package_create(name=package_name,
title=package_title,
owner_org=my_owner_org)

Running this against a 2.3 installation is failing with solr error

@amercader
I know this example is slightly dated, but it's useful to test the new resource view formats.
I upgraded from a 2.2 to a 2.3 installation ...
I'm using the ckan/ckan-docker implementation and ended up having to copy across the 2.3 schema manually to the solr container ...
Any idea why I'm getting this "multiple values encountered for non multiValued field", when the API is being used to push multiple files at once?

Thanks.

2.6 - KeyError: 'name' on error handling,

When a validation error occurs, I am getting...
