Unable to bulk create entities in cloud datastore

[Sammy B]

Hi,

I'm following the the link below to create entities in cloud datastore

https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/export-import-entities

I did the following:

1. create bucket

2. upload cvs

3. using the link above, exported the data using the export command

4. ran the import command

However, I don't see the data populated on the cloud datastore dashboard. Can someone please advise?

Thanks,

Sammy

The documentation you are following is for exporting existing Datastore entities and importing existing Datastore entities using the '.overall_export_metadata' Datastore specific backup files. 

If you do not have any entities, or if the exported entities match the imported entities, there will be no new Entities added to your Datastore Kind. If you instead wish to create new entities it is recommended to use the Client Library API.
