The BLOB support in Plone is amazing for a lot of reasons.
However Plone will raise errors when you visit a file content that use BLOB support without also having the BLOB file.
For developers this can be a little bit boring. It's quite common to copy a production Data.fs
for developing using production data, but you don't always want to copy all blobs.
This product monkey-patches parts of Plone, so that visiting objects that store content in the blob storage without having the BLOB available will not lead to errors. Instead a file only containing the string "File created by experimental.gracefulblobmissing." is created in the place where the blob-file should be.
This product has been tested on:
- Plone 5.1
- Plone 5.2
For Plone 4 / Archetypes compatibility stay below version 2.0. For Plone 3 compatiblity stay on version 0.3.0 or lower.
This is designed only for development/staging environment. Do not use in production if you are not 100% sure of what you are doing!
Developed with the support of S. Anna Hospital, Ferrara; S. Anna Hospital supports the PloneGov initiative.
