Could you attach or send the spreadsheet file? It must be failing during part of the read, hopefully I can figure it out if I load the sheet myself, at which point I should be able to both correct the sheet and improve the error reporting.

Thanks.

just found the issue with main branch head (it has more logs than installer version). seems the pace must be a range. but now the generated fit files are not accept by garmin connect web

The FIT files must be copied directly to the watch, in the garmin/newfiles folder. Garmin Connect doesn't read this kind of FIT file, I think it'll only read activities.

Damn, the package doesn't work. This was my first attempt at using the GitHub build pipeline, which all came about after a request for a Linux version, some trouble building the Windows version now that I'm on an Apple silicon Mac, and issues with GitHub's large file support, which was how I previously uploaded the installers. I naively thought that if the app started then it was properly built, but that's clearly not the case. Diagnosing this could be interesting!

A few questions, probably won't help with diagnosis, just curious:

  • Which OS are you running on? From your screenshots I'm guessing MacOS.
  • When you run from the master branch are you running a Maven build or running from an IDE?

OK, I think I've solved this. Eventually tracked it down to the static initialisers in WorkoutConverter, specifically the point at which Yoga and Pilates were added to the map. This was a very recent addition as someone had asked for more workout types and adding them was trivial but I never checked if the bundled app actually worked. That it does work in the IDE is just weird, which makes this a very unsatisfying fix as I don't really understand the root cause.

The version is bumped to 1.3 so look for that in the packages.
