Not possible to IMPORT file (.zip, .fit, .tcx) from Indoor Activity (cycling)

[xmgz]

hi, anyone here doing indoor activities like cycling/rowing with GARMIN device? I have also tried with WAHOO's fit file from same workout and failed with the same error message.

This is a zip which includes:

https://upload.disroot.org/r/geKREZW9#kaBRvdbrj2wCNisYApG7MZjsq3iZa7k0TjARKvtIMnw=

• zip downloaded from garmin's website (.fit inside)
• .tcx file from same workout
• log file from my system

In log file:

first part is from garmin2fittrackee trying to import directly from file. Posted in case is of any help.

But the second part is from fittrackee's log file itself, iterating from the diferent file types when trying to import from zip

At the bottom of log file I also post the result shown when trying to import USING fittrackee's WEB INTERFACE (red error at the bottom).

Pasted (and translated) here as reference:

Import files directly from web interface

zip file (.fit):  «no valid segments in GPS data from .fit file»

Ficheiro con erros:

    - 20506390821_ACTIVITY.fit: non se atopan segmentos válidos nos datos GPS do ficheiro .fit.

tcx:  «no coordinates on .tcx file»


Sen coordenadas no ficheiro .tcx

and this is after trying to import files from web interface:

Hi,

For the moment, FitTrackee only supports files containing at least coordinates and time.

In the meantime, one workaround would be to add these activities without a file, by providing at least sport id, date, duration and distance. I don't know if Garmin API returns this information without having to parse the .fit file.

ping @Dryusdan

Hi o/ After somes checks, I can check on each event if some metrics are presents (with geoPolylineDTO for exemple)

A manual activity return this result

{
  "activityId": 20543524536,
  "measurementCount": 0,
  "metricsCount": 0,
  "totalMetricsCount": 0,
  "metricDescriptors": null,
  "activityDetailMetrics": null,
  "geoPolylineDTO": null,
  "heartRateDTOs": null,
  "pendingData": null,
  "detailsAvailable": false
}

I think I can import it into Fittrackee without /api/workouts/no_gpx endpoint. But an activity with data and without map can't be imported as is into fittrackee I think 🤔

I make a task for my importer, but I have no time to develop it soon :/
