Hi! I need you help please

I was trying to restore a recent backup and I am getting this error:

Error: Argument "collectionPath" is not a valid ResourcePath. Path must be a non-empty string.

Am I doing anything wrong? firestore-backup-restore --backupPath myBackupPath --restoreAccountCredentials blablabla.json

Thanks

I'm not sure. It doesn't look like there is anything wrong from your command.

Only advice I have is to try a different firestore project; maybe it's an odd collection name that does not save well to the file system.

Or clone the repo and run devStart-debug --backupPath myBackupPath --restoreAccountCredentials blablabla.json. To debug, set debugger; statement before saveDocument call around line 321 in /lib/index.js, open chrome://inspect and click on Open Dedicated DevTools for Node and your running instance.

Let us know if you discover the cause!

I think I was trying something that was not supported: restore a backup from json backup... What I finally did was to backup and restore to/from a dummy firebase project that I am using as a "backup store"... But it would be nice to be able to backup/restore to/from a json backup. Thanks!

From a json backup? 🤔 Have you seen https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-firestore-import-export?
