Convex does not accept certain JSON Files
if your json file looks like this:
so if you are using [] on the top.
convex import does not accept the json file.
One example of an json file that convex is not accepting I added here.5 Replies
What error are you seeing? One restriction for json array files is they have a size limit, since Convex parses the array in memory. For larger imports you can reformat the file as JSONL
I get everytime a different error for the same file: One time I got this:
400 Bad Request: ImportFailed: Not valid JSON: EOF while parsing a value at line 500 column 15
another time I got this: 400 Bad Request: ImportFailed: Not valid JSON: EOF while parsing an object at line 86 column 3
for the linked city-list.json
I will reformat it into jsonlIt sounds like the connection is dropping while uploading the file. This is a problem i have fixed on main but we haven't released the fix yet, sorry. Converting to jsonl will also help.
I expect we'll fix the size limitations this week or early next week. Until then, you could consider splitting into multiple files and using --append
Ok, thank you for your quick answer. I mean that was fast. I love your product and cool that there is already a fix for that.
the issue of connections dropping during imports should be fixed now. Let me know how it goes! https://news.convex.dev/announcing-convex-1-9/
