Error when restoring a backup with cypher-shell

[rogelio_basurto]

Hello everybody!
I hope you all well!

Today, I was trying to restore a backup in my local computer (dev) from the dev environment. So first, I did the backup with the following line:

CALL apoc.export.cypher.all('backup.cypher',{format:'cypher-shell', useOptimizations: {type: "UNWIND_BATCH", unwindBatchSize: 20}})

Then in my local computer, I open the powershell (yeah, Win10) and went to the project folder and typed:

type .\import\backup.cypher | .\bin\cypher-shell.bat  -u neo4j -p password -d database_name --format plain

And obtained the next error:
An error occurred while in an open transaction. The transaction will be rolled back and terminated. Error: Tried to execute Schema modification after executing Write query
After running with --debug, I get the following error:

org.neo4j.shell.state.ErrorWhileInTransactionException: An error occurred while in an open transaction. The transaction will be rolled back and terminated. Error: Tried to ex
ecute Schema modification after executing Write query

I haver a backup from like 2 moths ago and works fine. Also, we just started to use the lucerne index, I do not know if that might be a problem.

Thanks in advance!

Can you please create a apoc GitHub issue about this, where you share your neo4j version, apoc version and the exported cypher file.

It might be a generation issue where a :BEGIN :COMMIT block wraps both a schema and a data operation.
