metadata not uploading / incorrect licence?

[sje30]

I couldn't get much joy from zen4R today. It didn't upload metadata, and was complaining about the licence being unrecognised.

> codecheck:::set_zenodo_metadata(zenodo, record, metadata)
[zen4R][ERROR] ZenodoRecord - License with id 'other-open' doesn't exist in Zenodo 
Error in draft$setLicense(licenseId = "other-open") : 
  License with id 'other-open' doesn't exist in Zenodo

changing the code to use 'MIT' as licence did not work.... removing the line to setLicense silenced the error, but no metadata were uploaded....

shrug...

thanks to @nuest for tipping me off, the API for Zenodo is changing.

See: eblondel/zen4R#127

at the moment zen4R is not functioning, so we will need to copy metadata across "by hand" and watch for progress on zen4R.

one possibility might be to see if the Python interface works robustly:

@sje30 @nuest please try the latest version from Github, huge work has been done to have zen4R working back with latest Zenodo infra changes. Methods are now based on the InvenioRDM platform API that is behind Zenodo. The Zenodo API was supposed to be functioning (backward compatibility) in spite of the migration but it was not the case. Your feedback is welcome.

Thank you for the update, appreciate it, as well as your continued work on this important package. I will take a look in the coming days.
