I have used the template from data import tool as well as the data export tool. But I am getting error

This is my command

bench --site {site_name} data-import --file ~/home/frappe/frappe-bench/Lead.csv --doctype Lead

and this error I am getting

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

old command which is this bench --site {{site_name}} import-csv ~/home/frappe/frappe-bench/Lead.csv is deprecated

You should upload the file in a private file and use a file path like /private/files/Lead.csv . It will work

Its working now the correct syntax is this

bench --site {{site_name}} data-import --file /files/Lead_new.xlsx --doctype "Lead"
