verdi export not storing full provenance

[ltalirz]

We have an example of a workflow (see verdi graph ) where we would like to export the full provenance.

Starting from the final CifData (PK 132944), we created an AiiDA export file (with all options enabled to get as much of the provenance as possible: verdi export create -I -R -X -C).

We then imported the export file in a different profile and generated the graph:

• the provenance is broken at the inline calculation (PK 131351)
• not a single Work-type node was exported

The export file was prepared on aiida-core 0.12.2 & imported on aiida-core 0.12.3.

I find this curious in a number of ways

1. this should have been fixed in PR Support current link types/link rules (support for workchains and workflows) at the import/export #1764 , which was merged into release_v0.12.2.
2. How is this not caught by the tests?
3. how can verdi graph generate work but verdi export not? Is the logic (incorrectly) duplicated?

mentioning also @giovannipizzi for comment

First question: are the Work nodes in the export file or not? (I.e. is the problem in exporting or in importing?)

[ltalirz]

Sorry, export file is attached above now.
No Work nodes are in the export file as far as I can tell.

This should have been solved at the issue #1758 and PR #1764. I will look what goes wrong. Thanks Leo

Fixed by PR #2632 for .12

[szoupanos]

There will be a new PR for this for 1.0 since the same problem should exist there too

[ltalirz]

To do: check whether this indeed still exists in develop (I would hope not?).
If not, close this issue.

Have you had the chance to look at this @ltalirz ? Since this should be fixed in 0.12.* and anyway we are no longer supporting it, I removed the label

[sphuber]

If there really is still a problem with the provenance being broken in v1.* when exporting/importing we should find a MWE and open a new issue. Closing this as the problem was identified in 0.* and fixed there.
