[Evaluator] Unable to run tool when using metadata file URL or upload as input

[abnerbog]

Bug description:

The FAIR evaluator tool is unable to calculate FAIR scores when using a metadata file as input.

To reproduce:

1. Go to the FAIRsoft evaluator app
2. In Step 1, select 'Metadata file' and 'Enter URL' as the metadata source
3. Enter the URL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inab/observatory-api/a825f37ecf6d557c9f7ad892da05ff32cebd35bc/app/helpers/metadata.jsonld'
   • The same issue occurs when uploading the metadata as a file instead of entering a URL

Unexpected output:

When the metadata source is entered as a URL, the tool hangs on step 3:

When the metadata source is entered as a file, the tool does not retrieve any metadata and is unable to calculate the FAIR scores.

Environment:

Device: Dell laptop (x64)
OS: Windows 11 Pro
Browser: Google Chrome

Apologies for the delay; I completely missed this! I'll review it and get back to you soon.

Thanks so much! To add some further context here -- I also tried downloading the metadata in JSON-LD format through the evaluator tool in the 'Results' step after using a GitHub URL as input (e.g. 'https://github.com/inab/oeb-visualizations'), and then using this file as input into the evaluator in Step 1. When I go to use the tool with this JSON-LD input, I can proceed to Step 3 ('Edit the metadata if needed') as expected but the tool hangs when attempting to evaluate FAIR indicators in Step 4 ('Results').
