Exports failing to import

[George]

Hi all, I've seen this on earlier threads but was wondering if there
are any updates. I've created a very basic course, exported it, then
tried to import it into a new course, and the .imscc file import fails
with the error below. Does anyone happen to have any tips on how to
debug? (I have followed the previous guidance on the QTI importer
script.)

Thank you,
-George

George,
That could be because you need to make a config for external migrations. in your apps /config directory you can just copy "external_migration.yml.example" to be "external_migration.yml".

That config file should really be optional, but it's not right now. I updated the wiki directions on github so others won't have this problem.

You all rock. Confirming that it is working now. Thank you so much!

Cheers,
-George
