Failed to invoke procedure apoc.import.json caused by java.lang.nullpointerexception

Neo4j Graph Platform Procedures & APOC
1

Hi I am trying to follow the YouTube Tutorial "Training Series - Create a Knowledge Graph: A Simple ML Approach"

I have followed the process of opening a sandbox and the very first line is uploading the data from the GitHub repository ... however there is a problem which I see others have faced and that seems to be the apoc.import.json command simply fails to run. I assume that working in the sandbox means I am using the latest versions in which case it should not be a version issues as I have seen mentioned in other similar questions.

How do I proceed?

Please keep the following things in mind:

  1. did you search for what you want to ask before posting?
  2. please use tags for additional info
  3. use a self-descriptive title

Please format code + Cypher statements with the code </> icon, it's much easier to read.

Please provide the following information if you ran into a more serious issue:

  • neo4j version, desktop version, browser version
  • what kind of API / driver do you use
  • screenshot of PROFILE or EXPLAIN with boxes expanded (lower right corner)
  • a sample of the data you want to import
  • which plugins / extensions / procedures do you use
  • neo4j.log and debug.log

I just created a Neo4j Sandbox instance and it seems it seems that the version is not the latest.
You can try by executing:

RETURN apoc.version();

I receive 4.4.0.2 (and I think you too). The latest version is 4.4.0.3.

However, I just tried the apoc.import.json procedure, but strangely I receive a Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError and not a NullPointer.


Anyway, can you try to do the tutorial by using, for example, Neo4j Desktop?
Here there is the latest version and I haven't encountered any problems.
