I am trying for several days to test an xml file but while trying to upload I receive the following error message:

ERROR
An error has occured uploading file (Code: 400 - )

in a popup message at the bottom right side of the screen.
I have also tried to upload a zip file and even services but with no luck.
Please advise

Dear @aantgis,

could you please provide your resource for internal testing?

[aantgis]

please find attached the zip xml

addresses_location.zip

Dear @aantgis,

the validator is not able to load the XML file since it does not recognize the resource type.

Your XML file is not encoded according to the INSPIRE Addressed application schema, see here an example of how it should be encoded.

Thank you for the clarification. I thought that the validator was supposed to provide these error messages and warnings!

Possible enhancement: The Validator should provide a more specific error message when it is not able to recognize the resource type.
