Importing data from other structr instance results in FrameworkException

[preske87]

I did create a data export in my production instance of Structr and am trying now to import this into my development instance.

For the import, I am using the API /maintenance/deployData/.

Structr version is 5.3-SNAPSHOT.

Within the target instance, I do get the following errors

Unable to import nodes for type Group
FrameworkException(422): Unable to commit transaction, validation failed ErrorTokens: Group.name already_taken d0d041dfffb5426cbadbd071dd4a48e2. Existing uuid: 829797c7edf642f6943c7dd2e9c1ce69

Unable to import nodes for type SchemaGrant
FrameworkException(422): Unable to commit transaction, validation failed ErrorTokens: SchemaGrant already_taken d0796c60aa834a188cdbf4d49a629057

Unable to import nodes for type SchemaNode
FrameworkException(422): Unable to commit transaction, validation failed ErrorTokens: SchemaNode.name already_taken 96796183edb546fcb5bae837e0b700a5. Existing uuid: d1ef8ee09d8840c5a5d07c0ac5e63f9f

Unable to import nodes for type SchemaRelationshipNode
FrameworkException(422): Unable to commit transaction, validation failed ErrorTokens: SchemaRelationshipNode.sourceNode must_not_be_empty, SchemaRelationshipNode.targetNode must_not_be_empty

Prior the data import, I did a schema import through /maintenance/deploy/ which went all fine.

How can I accomodate those errors?

From the looks of these messages, the set of exported types contains built-in types. This is only in rare cases necessary.

These built-in schema nodes/grants/relationships are all included in the regular deployment export and should already be present after a deployment import.

Users already raise a warning, that this can lead to problems (usually if the currently logged in user is in the data deployment import).
Exporting groups probably results in a huge export folder with relationships (which should already be created by regular deployment).

The recommended way for User/Group types is the file pre-deploy.conf (see https://docs.structr.com/docs/fundamental-concepts#pre-deployconf )

Grants/Schema nodes should not be present in the data deployment.

Data deployment is mostly meant for custom types and currently has some caveats (Files/Folders are not supported).

Does that answer the question?
