JHipster: SyntaxError: Unexpected token / in JSON at position 324

for 

 entity Category {

 }
 relationship ManyToMany {
    Category{parents} to Category{children}
 }

Command

jhipster import-jdl jhipster-jdl.jh  --force

npm 6.4.1

10.13.0 Node.js.

How to fix this?

Solution

  • per https://www.jhipster.tech/jdl/

    If you do not want to regenerate your entities while importing a JDL, you can use the --json-only flag to skip the entity creation part and create only the json files in .jhipster folder.

    jhipster import-jdl ./my-jdl-file.jdl --json-only

    this might help diagnose the problem by letting you see the intermediate json files.

    Also, you might want to drop the empty curlies after your entity -- maybe it's confusing jhipster?
