NoSuchMethodError exception in exporting with neo4j 3.0

[miromarchi]

Hi there. I used neo4j-shell-tools in previous neo4j version to export graphML and importing in Gephi. Is the new 3.0 supported? Is there another way to do it?

When I run the command export-graphml -o out.graphml
I get this output

Error occurred in server thread; nested exception is: 
    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.neo4j.shell.kernel.GraphDatabaseShellServer.getDb()Lorg/neo4j/kernel/GraphDatabaseAPI;

Same error using import-cypher command.

I also have noticed that with the 3.0 version I don't see anymore the export csv button on the browser results frame. I still see the export json button.

Also, I have noticed that when installing neo4j-shell-tools the extract command asked me to replace the opencsv-2.3.jar.

Edit: I forgot to say that if I install a neo4j-2.3 instance, I cas see the export csv button back in place, and I can run neo4j-shell-tools with success.

Thanks!

Update: as answered by stdob-- here, the missing export to csv button in neo4j browser was a problem of my version of chrome browser, changing browser the button was again reachable.

In a branch on my fork, I have the code updated and running well with neo4j v3. I also ripped out everything but GraphML, so I wouldn't suggest a pull request, but the changes were mostly:

• use GraphDatabaseService instead of GraphDatabaseAPI (which is now internal, but still used in the tests on my branch)
• use import org.neo4j.helpers.collection.Iterables instead of IteratorUtil

I pushed a 3.0 branch this morning

@jexp It looks like the only difference is that it builds with the 2.3.3 neo4j libraries. Is that really enough to achieve compatibility with Neo4j 3.0.1?

I'm stil experiencing this problem when trying to export to graphml even after downloading neo4j-shell-tools 3.0.1. This is what I've tried:

• download the neo4j-shell-tools manually and copying the jars to the lib directory, and changing permissions to 755 to match the original ones
• revert to original install and installing the tools through:
  NEO4J_HOME=$(neo4j-shell -c 'dbinfo -g Kernel StoreDirectory' | grep -oE '/.lib.?/') && curl -Lk -o neo4j-shell-tools.zip http://dist.neo4j.org/jexp/shell/neo4j-shell-tools_3.0.1.zip && unzip neo4j-shell-tools.zip -d ${NEO4J_HOME}lib
• overwriting existing libraries
• not overwriting existing libraries
• shutting down the server and connecting the shell locally $neo4j-shell -p /path-to-db
• adding lib folder manually to the CLASSPATH

In all instances, I still get this error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.neo4j.shell.kernel.GraphDatabaseShellServer.getDb()Lorg/neo4j/kernel/GraphDatabaseAPI;

By the way, this error occurs with export-cypher, export-graphml, but doesn't seem to happen with import-graphml or import-cypher

I'm using Neo4j 3.01 Enterprise 30 day trial. Can anyone suggest a resolution path, even if it's a workaround?

Thanks,

Luis

@burgosl My fork has import-graphml and export-graphml, and works with 3.0.1 enterprise. I deleted all the other import/exports instead of fixing them since I don't use them. Obviously a temporary solution, but it works for now. There's a release from my 3.0.1 branch if you want to use it, or you can build one yourself with ant compile && ./zip.sh.

@yourpalal on the 3.0 branch is the fix for all the API changes, as you can see here:

@jexp awesome!! thanks for the update :)

[burgosl]

Got it, thanks! For some reason, I also had a version 2.2 in the /lib folder. After I deleted it, it started working correctly.

Thanks everyone!

Hi, currently getting this error on neo4j version 3.3.3. Similar to above, when I try to run export-graphml -o out.graphml, I'm getting the error:
