JHipster JDL not generating anything because the database type must be passed

问题

I'm using Jhipster 4.5.3 to generate some code from a JDL file I've created. Because I couldn't generate anything, I took the JDL Blog sample... and I have the same issues.

The JDL documentation still mentions :

You can generate entities from a JDL file by running jhipster import-jdl your-jdl-file.jh

But when I do that I get :

The jdl is being parsed. { name: 'NullPointerException', message: 'The parsed JDL content and the database type must be passed.',

Looking at the code, it looks like we have to pass a new parameter, the database type (this is not mentioned in the doc BTW). Looking at the code again, there are quite a few database types to choose from. But any database I choose, I get

Error: Could not find postgresql, make sure the path is correct!

Any idea ?

Did you generate an app with 'yo jhipster' first ? Can you post the generated .yo-rc.json ?
