Issues with importing data and image assets in Sanity CLI

Hi folks, I've exported a dataset (

production

) and am trying to import the resulting

.ndjson

into another dataset (

development

). I'm using the Sanity CLI, v2.10.5. I'm running into some issues with importing.
My documents that are type

route

have strong references to

page

documents, and my

page

documents have strong references to image assets. I was able to import my

route

documents by temporarily changing the references to weak ones (find + replace in my

.ndjson

). Is there a better way to do this?
I'm also stumped on how to import images. When I try to import my unmodified exported data, I get the error:
. I've read the docs page that the error message mentions, but the suggested fix doesn't apply because I didn't use

--raw

when exporting. Should I be uploading image files rather than importing image assets?

I realized I had exported in a non-standard way, `curl`ing instead of using the

sanity dataset export

. I've done the latter, and the image error I mentioned above is no longer an issue. However, now some non-existent assets are being referenced. Gonna spend some time trying to work through this.

Note that if you havent manually reset the

development

dataset ( ie deleted it to make sure you import to a clean slate 😅 ) it might still contain misconfigured documents from the initial import 🤔 if you dont have anything you care about in the

development

dataset this might be something to attempt.
Another note is that I have had some problems with importing
large datasets myself. How many documents and assets are you importing and what is the cumulative size of the dataset?

Thanks for the suggestions! I managed to figure it out. The exported

data.ndjson

had

file://./images/[image_id]

but it needed to be

file:///local/path/to/images/[image_id]

.
