Describe the issue

What is happening?
I use this following script to export names/descriptions from Home Assistant and import them into Zwavejs. This script has worked previously, but now I'm getting "Error while parsing input file. check console for more info" error when importing the json file into zwavejs

What did you expect to happen instead?
names/descriptions imported to update devices within zwavejs

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Goto HA -> Developer Tools
2. Use this script

{% set ns = namespace(devices=[]) %}
{%- for device_id in states | map(attribute='entity_id') | map('device_id') | unique | reject('eq', none) %}
{%- set identifiers = device_attr(device_id, 'identifiers') | list | selectattr('0', 'eq', 'zwave_js') | selectattr('1', 'search', '^([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)$') | list | first | default %}
{%- if identifiers %}
  {%- set node = identifiers[-1].split('-')[-1] | int %}
  {%- set ns.devices = ns.devices + [(node, device_entities(device_id))] %}
{%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}
{%- for node, entities in ns.devices | sort(attribute='0') %}
{{ node }}:
{%- for entity in entities %}
- {{ entity }}
{%- endfor %}
{% endfor %}

3. Save the output in the right hand screen to a file like file.json
4. Open ZwaveJS and goto Advanced Options -> Backup -> Import and select the file above
5. File does not import and gets error error when importing the json file into zwavejs. Logs don't seem to show the issue. I've tried to limit the issue by only importing a single device, but I still have the issue.

Anything else we should know?

Checklist

• I made sure to provide a driver log on level debug.

• The log includes a re-interview of the problematic device (if applicable).

• The log includes the problematic interaction with the device (if applicable).

• I provided the node ID of the problematic device (if applicable).

I think it would be helpful to debug this if you shared the file that gives an error.

see attached. I even tried one entry to see if it would work, same result.
nodes2.json

It's simply impossible that your template script ever worked. Your script a) produces a YAML document while ZUI requires JSON, and b) it's in the wrong format, containing lists of HA entity IDs for each node and not names and locations of each node. Perhaps you were using different code before when it was working.

Here is template code to export names and locations from HA into JSON for import by ZUI (from https://community.home-assistant.io/t/switching-z-wave-js-addons-with-minimal-downtime-z-wave-js-official-to-z-wave-js-ui-community/409904#step-11-optionally-export-device-names-and-locations-10):

{%- set ns = namespace(nodes=[], export={}) %}
{%- for dev_id in integration_entities('zwave_js') | map('device_id') | unique %}
  {%- set node_id = (device_attr(dev_id, 'identifiers') | first | last).split('-')[1] %}
  {%- set ns.nodes = ns.nodes + [(node_id | int, dev_id)] %}
{%- endfor %}
{%- for node_id, dev_id in ns.nodes | sort(attribute='0') %}
  {%- set node = {(node_id | string): {}} %}
  {%- set name = device_attr(dev_id, 'name_by_user') %}
  {%- set location = area_name(dev_id) %}
  {%- if name and location %}
    {%- set node = {(node_id | string): {"name": name, "loc": location}} %}
  {%- elif name %}
    {%- set node = {(node_id | string): {"name": name}} %}
  {%- elif location %}
    {%- set node = {(node_id | string): {"loc": location}} %}
  {%- endif %}
  {%- set ns.export = dict(ns.export.items(), **node) %}
{%- endfor %}

{{ ns.export | to_json }}
