"Entity Import Not Supported for File Type: .zip" when trying to import an extension

Hello everyone,

 

I am trying to import an extension, and I keep getting the error I wrote down in the Subject:

 

"Entity Import Not Supported for File Type: .zip"

this happens with any extension, also the one build in this tutorial. The only thing I have done differently is the Gradle build, which I carried out via Command Prompt, but the error shows up also if I use the pre-built .zip file in the tutorial files.

 

I am using a 30-day cloud trial now, so I wonder if this could be a limitation of the trial.

 

Thanks and best regards!

    Are you importing this specifically as extension import or just "file import"? Please make sure to use "Extension Import" .

    Hi @jman87 ,

    This definitely was the issue, the thing being that I got confused by the second window, erroneously selecting "From File" because I thought it meant "Import extension from file".

    Thanks for the help,

    Federico
