Test harvest sources

Verify your harvest source configuration is working correctly before relying on automated schedules.

To test a harvest source:

1. Access the CKAN container:

   docker compose exec -it ckan-dev bash

2. Run the test command:

   ckan --config=/srv/app/ckan.ini harvester run-test <harvest-id>

   Where <harvest-id> is the last part of the harvest source URL

3. Check for success. If successful, you'll see datasets uploaded in the catalogue.

Manual triggering

After you configure the manual harvester, you can trigger it by clicking Reharvest in the job's Admin section.
