Creating Entities using import-jdl

Question

I am new in JHipster, creating my first project.

I create the .jdl file using the jdl-studio and now trying to import it using below command.

jhipster import-jdl initial-schema/initial-schema.jdl --debug

which is giving me below error, but the error not giving the specific error like an error with the relationship or creating table command.

Error:-

    Error: ERROR!

paginate all with pagination
dto * with mapstruct
service all with serviceImpl 

Answer 1

Your JDL is wrong, BLOB should be spelled as Blob.

See official doc for types: https://www.jhipster.tech/jdl/#types_and_constraints

Also consider using Visual Studio Code with JHipster JDL extension to edit your JDL file, it will highlight errors like this one.
