Importing graph data in Windows

[ojpbay]

I have recently been experimenting with ArangoDB for Windows. I am able to import some of the sample data here using arangoimp.exe. I would like to be able to try some sample queries with the graphs you have in this repository, e.g. IMDB. I cannot see how I can import this on the Windows platform. Can anyone help? Many thanks.

Try running arangosh, and then issue
arangosh [_system]> require("internal").load("c:...wherever\ArangoDB-Data\Graphs\IMDB/import.js")
which should import properly

I've added a tiny bugfix to the import.js so it will properly calculate the filename.

I did try that. The path is correct but I get the following

arangosh [_system]> require("internal").load("c:\Temp\IMDB\import.js")
JavaScript exception: [ArangoError 2: cannot read file: system error]
!require("internal").load("c:\Temp\IMDB\import.js")
! ^
stacktrace: Error: cannot read file: system error
at Error (native)
at :1:21
arangosh [_system]> require("internal").load("c:\Temp\IMDB\import.js")
JavaScript exception: [ArangoError 2: cannot read file: system error]
!require("internal").load("c:\Temp\IMDB\import.js")
! ^

@ojpbay is it possible that you need to escape \ in the shell? Can you try

require("internal").load("c:\Temp\IMDB\import.js")

or

require("internal").load("c:/Temp/IMDB\import.js")

Thanks but unfortunately still not working. I noticed in the first reply the different forward / backslashes. Trying your combinations results int he same error. I've tried running the shell with elevated permissions...

One thing I did notice, using the following (all forward slashes) I get a different error message - the directory does exist btw.

arangosh [_system]> require("internal").load("c:/Temp/IMDB/import.js")
JavaScript exception in file 'c:/Temp/IMDB/import.js' at 62,12: [ArangoError 2: cannot open file: No such file or directory]
! internal.processJsonFile("nodes.json", storeVertex);
! ^

Can you try the following:

1. in the command line cd into c:\temp\imdb
2. start the arangosh from that location
3. require("internal").load("import.js")

Excellent, that worked! Thanks very much for your time. Now to get querying some graphs!
