Hello,
I have upgraded to erpnext version 12. I notice there is a new import file with a more friendly csv/xlsx template.
I tried this from the web interface and it worked great.
However, I tried this from the console but I keep getting the ValidationError: Invalid template file for import. I believe I got the file location right and the file exists. I need to import 100,000 records.
I even setup a new installation on a new server to be sure but it’s the same thing.
See the command I ran below.
bench --site naco.xxx.xxx.xx data-import --doctype Customer --file ~/part_farmers.csv
See the error message below.

frappe.exceptions.ValidationError: Invalid template file for import
is there an extra option in version 12 that i am missing? i have looked in the forum and no one seems to have posted anything on this ValidationError. I suspect it is not seeing the file path or I got it wrong somewhere.
I would appreciate any assistance.
Thank you.
