Import - Failed: Method Not Allowed

[roma-sem]

Hi I have an error "Method Not Allowed", when trying to import valid JSON file. All export/import permissions were allowed for both Authenticated and Public user.

Any ideas how to fix it?

I tried a clean install on Strapi v3.3.2 and I can do a simple export and import.

Could you provide more information? e.g. Strapi version, is it a collection type or a single type, etc.

[roma-sem]

It's a Collection type.

NPM v. 6.14.8,
Node v. 14.15.0
Strapi v. 3.3.2
Windows 10

I also ran "npm audit fix" for plugin and Strapi. Shows no errors and didn't help.

POST method works (creates new empty single Work post):
POST http://localhost:1337/works

OK. So after trying lots of options. I accidentally made it to work (probably same as the 1st time but I couldn't recall the chain of events).

All works now only if I do manual setup and then, on top of that I run command "npm i strapi-plugin-content-export-import". After npm command no need in running "npm run build".

I checked on another brand new setup if all will work with these:

1. Just npm command itself - NEGATIVE. You can see plugin in GENERAL -> Plugins but not in PLUGINS section
2. Manual setup - Almost Positive. I can export but no import.
3. Manual setup + npm setup => POSITIVE

I don't know the reason but hope you can figure out for future.

P.S. I also tried manual setup on a different Mac machine and import was giving the same error.

P.P.S. Anyway, thank you guys for a great job as I need to migrate from WordPress to Strapi. Looks like it's only your import tool is accessible at the moment.

I had the same problem but I ran the command "npm i strapi-plugin-content-export-import" and then "yarn develop" and it worked correctly!
Thanks!

I had the same problem. The solution (after some hours of research ;-D ) is to clone the plugin into the correct folder:

correct : ...plugins/content-export-import
not correct : ...plugins/strapi-plugin-content-export-import

This happens if you just use git clone without any target folder.

Maybe you can give a hint in the readme.

Cool plugin. Thanks for this.

Hi @sven09 thanks for pointing it out, I didn't know that the wrong folder name will cause this issue.
Hopefully this can help others solve this problem.

Actually it's already in the README, just not obvious enough.

# clone the plugin code into a folder and skip the prefix
git clone git@github.com:lazurey/strapi-plugin-content-export-import.git content-export-import

Thanks so much for your plugin, works fin on the fist run! - I took time to read the issues beforehand just in case...
