[BUG] Error Loading PDF File as File Property in Submodel

[sekharkumar]

Describe the bug
Acting as a senior developer, I am developing a sample AAS file manually using AASX Explorer. However, I am encountering an issue when trying to load a PDF file as a file property in the submodel. The file is not viewable, and a significant error is displayed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a supplemental file.
2. Add a property (file) to the submodel and set the file value to the supplemental file. Also, add the source file and save it.
3. Save the AAS file and open it again. Navigate to the file property and click on "SHOW CONTENT". The following error is thrown:

Expected behavior
The PDF file should be viewable without any errors when clicking on "SHOW CONTENT".

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser chrome
• AASX Explorer Version - v2024-02-27

Additional context
Please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue or if there is a workaround available.

Hi @sekharkumar,

There are two ways to attach a file to a file element in a AASPE. I have failed to reproduce the issue both ways. Thus, I have described the steps for both the options below. Hope that helps. Also, you may try the latest version of AASPE.

Option 1: Directly from File element, without adding supplemental file first

1. create file element.
2. Add source file.
3. Click on "Add or update to AASX"
4. Save

Option 2: Adding Supplemental file first

1. Add supplemntal file first.
2. Create File element.
3. Click on "Choose Supplemental file"
4. Select the added file in step 1
5. Save
