Binder not working from Harvard Dataverse

[pdurbin]

For now, a couple links:

• discussion with Binder team: https://jupyter.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/103349-ask-anything/topic/Binder.20Dataverse.20error/near/476223581
• debugging: IQSS/repo2docker@1e0d726

[pdurbin]

Two updates:

• short term: we have asked for /citation to be unblocked
• long term: simplifying repo2docker to only operate on datasets should mean we can re-block /citation:
  • Simplify Dataverse Content Provider to only operate on datasets yuvipanda/repo2docker#7

[pdurbin]

Unblocking /citation seemed to work. 🎉 https://mybinder.org/v2/dataverse/10.7910/DVN/TJCLKP/ (which is where the Binder button sends you, for example, from https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/TJCLKP ) opens up my dataset:

For a longer term fix I'll keep monitoring my PR at yuvipanda/repo2docker#7 which I announced at https://jupyter.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/103349-ask-anything/topic/Binder.20Dataverse.20error/near/489270587

This is the new PR to track:

• Use REST APIs to resolve DOIs + cleanup dataverse provider jupyterhub/repo2docker#1390

Once it's merged and deployed, we can try pulling the block back in place for /citation.

While we're bothering those folks, we'll unblock /openapi, which was asked about at https://jupyter.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/103349-ask-anything/topic/Binder.20Dataverse.20error/near/489373873

@yuvipanda now that this PR has been merged...

• Use REST APIs to resolve DOIs + cleanup dataverse provider jupyterhub/repo2docker#1390

... do you think we should try putting the block back in place for /citation?

[pdurbin]

Following some discussion, we'll track the deployment of the fix above with with this issue:

• deployment of repo2docker#1390 etc. jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy#3191

[pdurbin]

Per jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy#3191 the deployment was done on Dec 21, 2024.

But let's not change anything on a Friday. Maybe next week.

As a reminder we're asking for two things:

• put the block back in place for /citation
• remove the block from /openapi (while we're asking for changes anyway)
