export-import extension CLI

[Michael Schlumberger]

Hello together,

I have the following question or problem with the import-export extension.

When I use it on the CLI, it does not take over the options that I pass there.

The extension always uses the settings that are defined in the
espocrm/custom/Espo/Modules/ExportImport/Resources/metadata/app/exportImport.json.

My call is e.g.
bin/command export-import export --format=json --config true --customization true --export-path="[rest of path]/transfer/export"


Is it possible to save the "exportImport.json" elsewhere and call it specifically?

Many thanks for your help
Michael

Hi Michael Schlumberger,

Please tell me if I understand correctly that you want a specific file generated by the Export Import extension command to be located outside the path you specified in this command?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
Our problem is that the parameters in the command are not taken into attention.
Unfortunately, I cannot understand which settings are used for the export.

In other words, the parameters that I pass in the CLI are not taken into account or are not processed as specified

I have the impression that it simply uses the default settings as if I did not specify any parameters.
Like bin/command export-import export without parameters

Michael Schlumberger,

EspoCRM v9.0.1
Export Import v2.6.0

Screenshot from CLI:


Correct command:

sudo bin/command export-import export --format=json --path="./custom-path-export-import" --skip-data

As we can see, the folder is successfully created on its own and all files are placed in it.

Please read the documentation for the Export Import extension: https://docs.espocrm.com/extensions/...mport/overview.
You can pay special attention to the usage examples: https://docs.espocrm.com/extensions/...ort/#use-cases.

Let me know if you have any problems with this issue again.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
I have found the error thanks to your help.
In the old version - see also on Github
the path command was: --export-path now I have seen that it is only --path

Example github



I simply overlooked it in the newer documentation.😊
Thank you for your test and screenshot, now it works.👍
