Entites imported empty

[offlinehacker]

All entites are imported empty, without any statements.

[filbertkm]

which import command options are you using?

[offlinehacker]

--entity xx and --all-properties, while entities and property labels are imported, statements are not. this is on master version of importer and mediawiki and plugins from wmf/1.29.0-wmf.9

[nyurik]

I have the same issue. Properties and Items were created with the labels in every language, but no statements. I received tons of You do not have the permissions needed to carry out this action. errors, without explanation.

Could this be that it tries to set up sitelinks, and since my sitelink table has just one custom entry, it fails?

At first it was also complaining that several properties already exist with the same names (i manually created instanceof, formatURL, and image), but after renaming them, I re-ran it several times, and kept getting the same thing.

I also have the same issue. I'm using the docker images from https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-docker - in a fresh docker-compose up with the memory cranked up to 10GBs in the Docker for Mac settings, when I run:

root@a70d393e8ad2:/var/www/html/extensions/WikibaseImport# php maintenance/importEntities.php --all-properties --entity Q16107138

(that's the Mayor of Madison, WI)

I get a slug of entities and properties created, but none of them appear to have any statements that match. Here's the output:

I also get this problem, but generally after importing a list of entites. At the beginning it works, then it stops working.

[jjkoehorst]

Any news on this issue? I have the same issue and I think it is due to: You do not have the permissions needed to carry out this action.

[D063520]

can you past your entity stack ?

[jjkoehorst]

You mean:

?

[D063520]

So your error is different:
You do not have the permissions needed to carry out this action.
Can it be that your wiki is configured as private?

[jjkoehorst]

Bingo...

[D063520]

I open the wiki to import the entities and close it after .... no better solution for now .... I would open a separate issue if this is the case. But I cannot help debug it .... sorry!

[jjkoehorst]

No problem but after allowing it to edit and a full reset of the docker instance I now have: [2019-07-04 17:36:04]: DB connection was already closed or the connection dropped.

[D063520]

can you try a second time ....

yes, this is another problem ... you need to patch with the pull request
#41
I hope it will be integrated at some point ... took me long time to fix it
