Problem with uploading workspace

I recently come across some workspaces that I can't seem to upload anymore to FME Flow (2024.2). I already found the culprit, but still would like to understand why this happens and how to fix it permanently.

Publishing a workspace gives an error. Dragging it into FME Flow will give a screen and that will get stuck and dragging multiple workspaces at once will upload all of them except the one not working and also not giving any feedback that one has not been uploaded. 

Eventually I found that pressing the Edit button behind the Job submitter gives more options and that there is something red. Easily to miss…

So settings this to empty or another one gives me the ability to upload again. But next time it is again on the red one. Why does it keep remembering a FeatureReader that is not in the workspace again.

 

I found also some documentation about what the use is of this feature, but I'm not sure I completely understand. If somebody could explain in a few sentences that would be great.

Hi ​@matthieuv 

If I understand correctly that FeatureReader is not in the canvas but is generating errors when publishing?

If so, have you checked in the navigation view for any references to that reader?

Hope this helps!

Hi ​@matthieuv 

Have you been able to confirm if there are any references to this FeatureReader in the Navigator window (or anywhere else in the workspace)?

Feel free to share a copy of the workspace, or submit a support ticket if you are still encountering issues!

You understand correct. There is no reference to that FeatureReader in the workspace in the navigator. Also a workspace search for FeatureReader_airportHeliport returns nothing. 

It was obsolete and has been deleted.
