Help needed on a more complex item edit about wikibase-cli HOT 8 CLOSED

Thank you very much for the patience you've had with me.
This time I was successful, I am able to run the commands:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q130081&diff=prev&oldid=1764295342

Please let me summarize the required steps I needed to take (for my future reference):

1. run Powershell as admin. need to have chocolatey+jq and chocolatey+git installed there and wikibase-cli (if not working, also try installing wikibase-sdk package too).
2. go to working folder, eg. Downloads in my case
3. clone the template collection and install npm there like this

git clone https://github.com/maxlath/wikibase-cli-template-collection --branch update-multiple-statements
cd ./wikibase-cli-template-collection
npm install

4. put the update_multiple_statements.js and the query.rq file into the "wikibase-cli-template-collection" folder

5. (optional) check that the query is working as it should, outputting a correct file:

wd sparql ./query.rq | jq '.[]' -cr > ./results.ndjson

6. run the following command:

wd sparql query.rq | jq '.[]' -cr | wd edit-entity update_multiple_statements.js --batch --summary 'updating P1082 statements - rank and date precision'

That's hopefully all.
Thank you again @maxlath

Yes it is possibe! 😁 See https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q117523&type=revision&diff=1763048325&oldid=1762491473

With

• the request at https://w.wiki/5u9R in ./query.rq
• update_multiple_statements.js and its dependencies

wd sparql ./query.rq | jq '.[]' -cr > ./results.ndjson
cat results.ndjson | wd edit-entity /path/to/wikibase-cli-template-collection/edit/edit_multiple_statements.js --batch --summary 'updating P1082 statements'

from wikibase-cli.

Very cool! 👍 This looks promising and now I know which part of the instructions I need to pay attention to, and what kinds of scripts I need to hack from your example collection :))

I tried but... jq and cat are probably not available on Windows.
I wonder if there is a Windows-friendly way to do this?

from wikibase-cli.

• jq should be available on Windows: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/
• there is a discussion here about how to substitute cat, but you could also just directly pipe the first line to the second: wd sparql ./query.rq | jq '.[]' -cr | wd edit-entity /path/to/wikibase-cli-template-collection/edit/edit_multiple_statements.js --batch --summary 'updating P1082 statements' (but then you can't control what you got from the query before doing the edits)

Otherwise, could you maybe use Windows Subsystem for Linux? (I never used it, so I don't know if that works, but I don't see why that wouldn't)

from wikibase-cli.

Thanks, I am almost there, I think!
Powershell install of wikibase-cli does not seem to install dependencies.
I had to manually install wikibase-sdk but it's still asking for some libraries:
"Error: Cannot find module '../lib/helpers'"

from wikibase-cli.

I guess those are the helpers from wikibase-cli-template-collection on the update-multiple-statements that you have to get locally too. I guess it could make sense to package some helpers with wikibase-cli itself, but I haven't explored that option much yet

from wikibase-cli.

Sorry, I don't really know what "getting it locally means" and what is "it".
I was playing with it and I think I was able to get it working by pointing to the file like this:

const { getEntityClaims } = require('C:/Users/vojte/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/wikibase-cli-templates/lib/helpers')

But now I get a different error:

TypeError: getEntityClaims is not a function

The full response is:

By getting it locally, I meant having the files on which the JS template depends on your machine (="locally"). You can do that with git:

git clone https://github.com/maxlath/wikibase-cli-template-collection --branch update-multiple-statements
cd ./wikibase-cli-template-collection
npm install
wd sparql /path/to/query.rq | jq '.[]' -cr | wd edit-entity ./edit/update_multiple_statements.js --batch --summary 'updating P1082 statements - rank and date precision'

from wikibase-cli.
