Changes

  • Changes MLAR download file format from .csv to .txt
  • Fixes filenames of 2017 MLAR downloads.
  • Adds a test that confirms MLAR downloads aren't empty (and verifies the two above fixes).
  • Adds a link to the guidance on how to open an MLAR file with Excel.

Testing

  1. ModifiedLAR.spec.js cypress tests should pass.
  2. These two scenarios should no longer be happening.

Notes

  1. I'm validating that the downloaded files are MLAR-ish by checking if they have lots of pipes in them. It's pretty silly and lmk if you can think of a smarter way.

After searching for MLAR files from each year, open them and confirm
they're not empty and are MLAR-ish (lots of pipes in the file).

Fixes #2522
MLAR files are supposed to be .txt files and not .csv files.
Their contents are pipe-delimited text.

Fixes #2569
2017 has no `institution.lei` value so use the normalized institution
ID when interpolating the download file name.

Fixes #2570
