@yogthos i think that may have been it, but the error message doesn’t seem like the one i usually see when i misname a module. in any case i renamed the module to qs-tools.populate and it worked.

so, i need to make a script or command to populate the database on my server by downloading a file and parsing its contents to insert rows into the production database. currently i’m trying to add a command to my jar file in the same way that you can do migrations by running java -jar app.jar migrate, but i’m wondering if there’s a simpler way to do this. btw, i can’t just put the data in a migration sql file since i don’t control the contents of the input file.

adding a new command line options is probably the easiest in that case
