Help with flathub buildbot on github

I’m currently trying to build a flatpak on github named au.edu.uq.esys.escript. The build fails with a lint error

“metainfo-missing-component-tag”

But the xml file with the package does contain a component tag. Can someone please tell me why the flathub buildbot gives me this error and how I can fix it?

Merge the changes I made or install the .appdata.xml to the correct path, include it in the manifest and try to follow the standards.

The Metainfo file in the Flathub repo is correct, but you are trying to use the upstream Metainfo file which doesn’t contain the component tag.
