Azure Maps - manifest missing

Hi, Microsoft community, I have a issue with the deploy of a Azure Maps file of the example named "Contoso" from https://github.com/Azure-Samples/am-creator-indoor-data-examples/find/master . There is a error that say my manifest.json file from "Sample - Contoso Drawing Package.zip" is missing but I double-check everything and is alright. Someone have this problem before?

I already follow all the steps from this tutorial:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/tutorial-creator-indoor-maps
But in the "convert a drawing package" section all fall down.

Best regards.

Yup. That was the problem. I was right-clicking on the "folder" and saying create a .zip file which then creates my Zip with another folder inside it. Ugh. I had to select the contents of the folder and select "create zip". All better. Got it working fine now.

Thank you for reaching out. Have you perhaps unzipped and zipped the content again? The manifest should be in the base directory once the file is unzipped, as in the direct download link provided in the tutorial.

Hi @Roberto Lucchi ,

I use the original file from the download link. The error come inmediatly with the first attemp. Then I unzipped to checkout the content, if the manifest was inside or misspelled, then I check in the manifest itself, if the routes for the .dwg files was misspelled too. But all was fine, I belive, I don't know exactly cause I don't know the correctly form of this files, I only follow the instruction that the errors and the articles relative to this erros bringing to me.
To prove if it's was the file or not, do you have another example like Contoso?

Thanks for the response.

I'm getting this same error. I was doing a test using Postman to upload the Sample file I downloaded in the tutorial. It worked perfectly in Postman.

So, I uncompressed the Zip and noticed the 4 files in the root of the folder.

Compressed the folder into a .zip and tried it through Postman. Failed. Get the same error as mentioned, "missing manifest.json file". I did this test because I was trying to use my own .dwg and manifest.json file and got the same "missing manifest.json" file error for my zip package.

I tried both Windows 10 built-in compression and WinZip. Neither worked to get rid of this "missing" error.

Is there an issue with compression? What compression engine was used to create the original .zip?

Hi @John Altenbernd ,

The native compression tool with Windows 10 will work. It is required that the manifest be at the root of the .zip folder. I have noticed that users accidentally zip the containing folder rather than the actual files themselves resulting in an extra folder at the root path. Can you double check this to make sure the manifest is at the root and not inside of another folder at the root?

Thanks!
