Bulk Import CLI Fails when target is JPA Starter Server

[jordanperrin]

I am trying to upload data that I have on my machine to a JPA Starter server but when running the CLI import command:
$ ./hapi-fhir-cli bulk-import -v r4 --port 9090 --source-directory /path/to/ndjson --target-base http:https://localhost:9090/fhir/

I get:

I cloned the JPA starter Server and running it using docker-compose up.
I edited the application.yaml file to enable import/export:
application.txt

Not sure what I am doing wrong. If there is another a way to upload data on my machine to a HAPI FHIR Server please let me know. Also I think the CLI Docs need to be updated.

I guess the param "port" is for creating a temporally server to serve the files th the HAPI-FHIR instance, so should not be the same as where the server is already running (note that would be redundant info in the command ;) )
The table bt2_job_instance will record just the error message you already mention, generic somehow but just that...
